Why US and Israel attacking Iran?
Today, the United States and Israel launched joint military strikes against Iran, marking a significant escalation in longstanding tensions. The attacks have targeted key Iranian military assets, nuclear facilities, missile sites, naval capabilities, and leadership compounds, including those associated with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The attacks followed weeks of failed diplomatic negotiations over Iran's nuclear program, with a final round collapsing just two days ago without agreement.
Why US and Israel attacking Iran? Trump calls for regime change. Is it really for regime change? Or is it because Iran is building nuclear weapons? And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is saying the strikes as necessary to "remove the existential threat posed by the regime in Iran.
Iran is saying it has every right to defend itself against this act of aggression. The government has criticized the US for striking during ongoing nuclear negotiations, noting recent a good meeting in Geneva and calling this war of choice by the United States. Iran is saying the US will have to pay for that and Iran's retaliatory attack is just targeting military installations in self-defense. Iran is saying on Trump's regime change, "mission impossible."
The motivations appear multifaceted, with nuclear prevention as the core stated rationale, but regime change is openly integrated into the strategy. The strikes seem rather than diplomatic coercion use decisive resolution for the U.S.-Iran conflict. Is Iran weaker now due to 2026 protest and that's why US and Israel are attacking at the Iran's weakest moment? U.S. strikes in June 2025 that targeted Iranian nuclear sites. Does that mean Iran's nuclear capability was not completely demolished on that strike?
Experts are calling the attacks are officially framed as defensive measures against nuclear and military threats, with regime change as an explicit endgame.

राजनीतिक प्रभुत्वदेखि मृत्युदण्डसम्म
बंगलादेशकी शेख हासिना, गत वर्ष विद्यार्थी आन्दोलनकारीमाथि घातक दमन गरेको अभियोगमा सोमबार अनुपस्थितिमा मृत्युदण्डको सजाय सुनाइएकी छिन्। दक्षिण एसियाली राष्ट्र बंगलादेशमा आधा शताब्दीसम्म प्रभुत्व जमाएकी हासिना रक्तपातमै आधारित राजनीतिक करियरकी धनी छिन्।
स्वतन्त्रता नेता तथा आफ्ना पिता शेख मुजिबुर रहमान र परिवारका अधिकांश सदस्यको सैनिक ‘कू’ मा हत्या भएपछि उनी अचानक चर्चामा आइन्। सुरुमा प्रजातन्त्रका लागि लडेकी हासिना लामो समय प्रधानमन्त्री रहँदा भने विपक्षी नेतालाई पक्राउ गर्ने, अभिव्यक्ति स्वतन्त्रता कुण्ठित पार्ने र असहमति दबाउने काममा संलग्न भइन्। विद्यार्थी नेतृत्वको विद्रोहका क्रममा सयौंको ज्यान गएपछि राजीनामा दिएर भारत भागेकी हासिना १५ महिनापछि राजधानी ढाकाको अदालतद्वारा घातक बल प्रयोगको आदेश दिएको ठहर गरिएकी छिन्।
७८ वर्षीया हासिनामाथि सत्ताको दुरुपयोग गरेको व्यापक आलोचना भए पनि मुस्लिम बहुल १७ करोड जनसंख्या भएको देशको अर्थतन्त्र उकास्ने श्रेय उनलाई दिइन्छ। छिमेकी म्यानमारबाट प्रताडित भएर भागेका रोहिङ्ग्या मुस्लिमलाई शरण दिएकोमा उनले अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय प्रशंसा पनि पाएकी थिइन्।
तर पाँचौँ कार्यकाल जितेको सात महिनाभन्दा कम समयमै उनको पतन भयो। सुरुमा रोजगारी कोटाका विषयमा शुरू भएको आन्दोलन उनको बहिर्गमनको मागसहित ठूलो आन्दोलनमा परिणत भयो।
भारतमा निर्वासित हासिनाले आफूमाथि लागेका आरोप अस्वीकार गरेकी छिन् र फैसला “पक्षपाती र राजनीतिक प्रेरित” भएको बताएकी छिन्।

Ski Down from the top of Mount Everest!
Andrzej Bargiel, became the first person to ski down from the summit of Mount Everest to base camp without supplemental oxygen. Andrzej Bargiel is a Polish ski mountaineer, born on April 18, 1988, in Łętownia, Poland. Renowned for his high-altitude skiing feats, he gained global recognition as the first person to ski down Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen on September 22, 2025. He reached the summit after a 16-hour climb in the "death zone" above 8,000 meters, where oxygen levels are critically low, then immediately began his descent on skis via the South Col route. Due to nightfall and heavy snow, he stopped at Camp II (around 6,400 meters) and continued the next morning through the Khumbu Icefall, guided partly by a drone flown by his brother Bartek, arriving safely at base camp.
This marked his third attempt at the feat and built on his earlier achievements, such as being the first to ski down K2 without oxygen in 2018. Previous ski descents from Everest, like Slovenian Davorin Karničar's in 2000, relied on bottled oxygen. While over 7,000 people have summited Everest, fewer than 200 have done so without oxygen, and none had skied down until Bargiel.
His notable achievements include:
- First ski descent of K2 (8,611 meters) without oxygen in 2018, a world record.
- First ski descent of Broad Peak (8,051 meters) in 2015.
- Record-breaking ascent and ski descent of Manaslu (8,163 meters) in 2014.
- Multiple ski descents in the Himalayas, including Yawash Sar II and Laila Peak.
Below are notable attempts and successes by others, with details on their use of oxygen or specific challenges:
- Davorin Karničar (Slovenia): In 2000, Karničar became the first person to complete a full ski descent from Everest’s summit to base camp. He skied the South Col route but used supplemental oxygen during his climb and descent, unlike Bargiel. His descent took about five hours and was a significant milestone in ski mountaineering.
- Yuichiro Miura (Japan): In 1970, Miura, a Japanese skier and adventurer, attempted a ski descent from the South Col (around 8,000 meters) as part of the "Everest Skiing Project." Using a parachute to control speed, he skied roughly 2,000 meters down the Lhotse Face but crashed and slid, stopping short of a crevasse. He used oxygen and did not start from the summit, so it wasn’t a complete descent.
- Hans Kammerlander (Italy): In 1996, Kammerlander, an experienced mountaineer, skied from approximately 8,600 meters (just below Everest’s summit) down the North Face. He used supplemental oxygen and did not complete the descent to base camp, stopping at advanced base camp due to conditions.
- Jimmy Chin, Kit DesLauriers, and Rob DesLauriers (USA): In 2006, this American trio skied from Everest’s summit down the South Col route. Kit DesLauriers became the first woman to ski from the summit. All three used supplemental oxygen during their climb and descent, and their effort was documented in the film The Ski Project. Their descent was successful but relied on oxygen support.
- Andrzej Bargiel’s earlier attempts: Bargiel himself tried skiing Everest without oxygen twice before his 2025 success. His first attempt in 2019 was aborted due to dangerous snow conditions and avalanche risks. A second attempt in a prior year (exact date unclear) was also abandoned due to poor weather and route conditions. These failures highlight the extreme difficulty of the feat, even for an elite skier like Bargiel.

संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका ले नेपाल यात्रा पुनर्विचार गर्न आग्रह गरेको छ
संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिकाको विदेश मन्त्रालयले जेन जेडको नेतृत्वमा भएको व्यापक प्रदर्शनहरूका कारण, जसमा धेरैको मृत्यु र घाइते भएको थियो, अमेरिकीहरूलाई नेपाल यात्रा पुनर्विचार गर्न आग्रह गरेको छ। अधिकारीहरूका अनुसार कम्तीमा ५१ जनाको मृत्यु भएको छ, धेरैजसो प्रहरीसँगको झडपमा, जब प्रहरीले प्रदर्शनकारीहरूमाथि अश्रुग्यास र रबरको गोली प्रहार गरेको थियो।
विदेश मन्त्रालयले बिहीबार नेपालको लागि यात्रा लेभल २ बाट लेभल ३ मा उकासेको छ, जसमा यात्रुहरूलाई "नागरिक अशान्ति" का कारण "यात्रा पुनर्विचार" गर्न आग्रह गरिएको छ।
मन्त्रालयले आफ्नो सल्लाहमा उल्लेख गरेको छ कि नेपालका प्रमुख शहरहरू, जस्तै काठमाडौं र पोखरामा कर्फ्यू लागू गरिएको छ। यस हप्ताको शुरूमा भएका प्रमुख प्रदर्शनहरू शान्त भए पनि, सेना शहरमा गस्ती गरिरहेको र अन्तरिम सरकार गठन गर्ने प्रयास जारी रहेकोले देशमा तनाव कायम छ। मन्त्रालयले थप अशान्ति भड्किन सक्ने र थप कर्फ्यू बिना पूर्व सूचना लागू हुन सक्ने चेतावनी दिएको छ। सल्लाहले यो पनि चेतावनी दिएको छ कि नेपालमा आपतकालीन सेवाहरूको व्यक्तिगत आपतकालमा प्रतिक्रिया दिने क्षमता हाल सीमित छ।
यसले यो पनि उल्लेख गरेको छ कि अशान्तिको समयमा काठमाडौं र पोखराका केही होटलहरूमा आगजनी भएको थियो।
नेपालमा रहेका यात्रुहरूलाई ठूला भेलाहरूबाट बच्न, अमेरिकी सरकारको सहयोगमा निर्भर नहुने आपतकालीन योजना बनाउन, र छोटो सूचनामा होटल खाली गर्न तयार रहन सल्लाह दिइएको छ।
