  As the clock struck midnight on December 31, 2024, Auckland became the first major city to welcome 2025 with a breathtaking display of fireworks and a vibrant light show. Thousands of revelers gathered in the downtown area and atop the city's iconic volcanic peaks to witness the dazzling spectacle.

Biden Warns Iran Against Imminent Attack on Israel

 


U.S. President Joe Biden has issued a stern warning to Iran, anticipating an attack on Israel in the near future. Speaking to reporters, Biden succinctly stated, “Don’t.” He emphasized Washington’s unwavering commitment to Israel’s defense, asserting that Iran’s efforts would ultimately fail.

The escalating tensions stem from an airstrike in Damascus that claimed the lives of senior Iranian commanders, including Brig-Gen Mohammad Reza Zahedi of Iran’s elite Quds Force in Syria and Lebanon. Although Israel has not officially claimed responsibility for the attack, it is widely believed to be the perpetrator.

As the world watches with bated breath, the possibility of retaliation looms large. Countries such as the U.S., UK, India, and Australia have issued travel warnings, urging caution for their citizens in both Israel and Iran. President Biden has assured Israel of his country’s “ironclad” support in the event of an Iranian assault.

The stakes are high, and the region remains on edge. Israel’s leaders are bracing for a potential onslaught, while Iran’s actions remain uncertain. Amid this tense backdrop, the world holds its breath, hoping for restraint and de-escalation in the face of mounting hostilities.
