CEA Nageswaran Calls for Reintroducing Lower Ethanol Blends at Fuel Pumps

Chief Economic Adviser V. Anantha Nageswaran has called for bringing back lower ethanol-blended petrol at retail pumps amid concerns over E20 fuel. While existing evidence does not conclusively show that E20 damages engines, the CEA acknowledged that older vehicles remain a significant concern. India has an estimated 75 to 80 million older two-wheelers equipped with rubber seals not rated for ethanol use. Retrofitting these seals across such a large vehicle base is expected to take several years, making an immediate full transition to E20 potentially problematic.

MTG Claims Trump Officials Discussed Nuclear Option Against Iran in Strategy Talks

Former US congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has alleged that Trump administration officials raised the possibility of using nuclear weapons against Iran during internal strategy meetings. Greene also claimed that US intelligence does not currently have evidence showing Iran is actively developing nuclear weapons. The statements come amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran, with the Trump administration pressing Iran for significant concessions. A key point of contention is Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global waterway that remains central to the standoff between the two nations.
