American researchers have potentially identified features of Noah's Ark at the Durupinar site in Turkey, reigniting debate over the biblical narrative. Led by independent researcher Andrew Jones from Noah's Ark Scans, the team utilized ground-penetrating radar to uncover a 538-foot-long, boat-shaped formation, approximately 29 km south of Mount Ararat, traditionally regarded as the Ark's final resting place. The scans revealed a tunnel-like void and three deck-like layers, aligning with descriptions from the Book of Genesis. Although no physical wood has been found, researchers detected a "chemical imprint" suggesting organic matter and wood residues in the soil. Soil analysis indicated significant differences in organic content and pH levels between samples inside and outside the formation, hinting at possible human influence. Despite skepticism from the scientific community, the team plans further investigations, including core drilling, to validate their findings. 
Published: May 15 2025, 9 ameznews.inDefence Minister Rajnath Singh, speaking in Jammu and Kashmir, sharply condemned Pakistan's dire economic state and its reliance on external financial aid, particularly from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). His visit, the first since Operation Sindoor, included strategic military briefings and morale-boosting sessions with frontline troops. Singh remarked, "After begging and begging, that country is in such a position that you can say that the line of beggars begins wherever Pakistan stands," referencing the IMF's recent disbursement of $1.023 billion to Pakistan, which has now received around $2.1 billion under its current programme. He contrasted this with India's role in funding the IMF to assist poorer nations. Singh's comments followed a series of military exchanges between India and Pakistan, including precision strikes and retaliatory actions, which culminated in a ceasefire agreement reached on May 10 through military talks.
Published: May 15 2025, 12 pmeznews.inA Harvard-affiliated researcher, Kseniia Petrova, faces federal charges for allegedly attempting to smuggle frog embryos into the United States. The 30-year-old Russian-born scientist was arrested at Boston's Logan International Airport after customs officials discovered the embryos in her luggage, following a canine unit alert. Petrova, who fled Russia in 2022 due to fears of political persecution, claims she did not intend to break customs laws and was unaware she needed to declare the biological samples, which she had obtained during a visit to a lab in France. Facing potential deportation and a smuggling charge that could result in up to 20 years in prison, Petrova's case has drawn attention from the global scientific community. Her mentor at Harvard, Leon Peshkin, argued that the situation warranted a warning rather than criminal charges, emphasizing the value of international researchers in American science.
Published: May 15 2025, 1 pmeznews.inUS President Donald Trump has expressed his disapproval of Apple CEO Tim Cook's plans to expand manufacturing in India, stating, "I don't want you building in India," during a business event in Doha. Trump highlighted India's high tariffs, which complicate sales for US companies, and suggested that India should be self-sufficient. He claimed that India had offered the US a deal to eliminate tariffs on American goods, although no such announcement has been made by New Delhi. Trump's comments come as Apple seeks to shift its production from China to India, with Cook noting that a majority of iPhones sold in the US could soon be produced in India. Currently, Apple operates three plants in India, with plans for two additional facilities, as it navigates the complexities of international trade and tariffs.
Published: May 15 2025, 1 pmeznews.inTurkey's recent support for Pakistan amid escalating tensions with India has sparked significant backlash, particularly on social media, where many Indians have vowed to boycott travel to Turkey. This outrage intensified following reports of Turkey supplying drones to Pakistan after India's Operation Sindoor, a response to the deadly Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives on April 22. Despite a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, calls for action against Turkey have grown, particularly targeting Celebi Aviation, a Turkish company that manages critical ground handling operations at major Indian airports, including Delhi and Mumbai. With security concerns heightened, Indian authorities are reportedly reviewing contracts with Turkish firms, especially those linked to national security. The Shiv Sena party has issued a 10-day ultimatum to terminate Celebi's contract at Mumbai International Airport, where it handles about 70% of ground operations.

Published: May 15 2025, 11 ameznews.inA 20-year-old Indian national, known only as Rajat, has been sentenced to three weeks in jail for molesting a stewardess aboard a Singapore Airlines flight from Perth to Singapore. Rajat pleaded guilty to using criminal force with the intent to outrage the stewardess's modesty during the incident on February 28, where he forcibly pushed her into a lavatory. He was arrested upon the flight's arrival at Changi Airport. Deputy Public Prosecutor Eugene Lau argued for a jail term of three to six weeks, citing the psychological harm inflicted on the stewardess, who reported feelings of fear, disgust, and humiliation. Lau emphasized the aggravating nature of the offense, noting that the confined space of an aircraft complicates the detection of unwanted physical contact, making such incidents particularly serious in the context of commercial air travel.
Published: May 15 2025, 12 pmeznews.inIndia is actively urging the United Nations to classify The Resistance Front, a group linked to the deadly Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people on April 22, as a terrorist organization. An Indian delegation met with UN officials in New York, including those from the Office of Counter-Terrorism, to discuss counter-terrorism strategies, focusing on cybersecurity and the challenges posed by emerging technologies. Following the attack, India launched Operation Sindoor, conducting airstrikes in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, which led to retaliatory drone and missile strikes from Pakistan. The discussions highlighted ongoing collaboration with the UN in implementing key Security Council counter-terrorism resolutions, including initiatives on cybersecurity and countering terrorist financing. UN officials expressed condolences for the victims and emphasized the importance of addressing the use of new technologies in terrorism, in line with the 2022 Delhi Declaration.
Published: May 15 2025, 9 ameznews.inA former Pentagon official, Michael Rubin, praised India's recent military actions against Pakistan, asserting that they effectively targeted terrorist infrastructure while neutralizing Pakistan's response. In an interview, Rubin described Pakistan's reaction as desperate, likening it to a "scared dog" seeking a ceasefire after India incapacitated its airfields. He emphasized that India emerged victorious both diplomatically and militarily, shifting global focus onto Pakistan's sponsorship of terrorism. Highlighting the troubling connection between Pakistani military personnel and terrorists, he warned that Pakistan must address its internal issues, questioning the future of its military leadership. The context for these developments stems from a terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, which prompted India's Operation Sindoor on May 7, resulting in significant losses for terrorist groups. Following retaliatory actions from Pakistan, both nations reached a ceasefire agreement on May 10.
Published: May 15 2025, 10 ameznews.inMichael Rubin, a former Pentagon official, criticized President Donald Trump’s tendency to overstate his influence on global events, suggesting he might as well claim to have "invented the Internet" or "cured cancer."

In an interview, Rubin advised Indians to not take Trump’s claims literally, while also underscoring the importance of U.S. diplomatic efforts in mitigating conflicts between the nuclear-armed neighbors. He noted that Washington's behind-the-scenes mediation aims to prevent escalation, particularly concerning nuclear threats. Trump's remarks followed his announcement of a cessation of hostilities, where he credited his administration and officials for averting a potential nuclear conflict. This comes after India’s military response to a deadly terror attack, escalating the situation in the region.
