'Picture abhi baaki hai': Iran responds to Trump's navy claim
What's the story
The Consulate General of Iran in Mumbai has responded to United States President Donald Trump's claims about the Iranian navy. The consulate quoted a popular dialogue from Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan's film Om Shanti Om, saying, "Abhi toh sirf trailer hai, picture abhi baaki hai (This is just the trailer, the movie is still left)." This comes after Trump claimed that Iran's navy was "finished" and had been obliterated by the US.

Trump praises team for talks with Iran
Meanwhile, President Trump has praised US Vice President JD Vance, his son-in-law Jared Kushner, and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff for their talks with Iran. He said they have done a "very good job" and added that the other side wants to make a deal very badly. The deal is reportedly about preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

Trump says nuclear weapons issue remains unresolved
Trump also insisted that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. "If they don't agree, there's no deal; there'll never be a deal," he said. On Monday, Trump had said, "Iran's Navy is laying at the bottom of the sea, completely obliterated - 158 ships. What we have not hit are their small number of, what they call, 'fast attack ships', because we did not consider them much of a threat."
