Trump’s misunderstandings and abuses of power are sparking a recalculation of power balances.
The Pentagon has designated Alibaba, BYD, Baidu and more than a dozen other prominent Chinese companies as “Chinese military companies” operating in the United States, widening a blacklist that has become an increasingly effective tool in Washington’s campaign to restrict China’s access to American capital, technology and government contracts. In a Federal Register notice scheduled for publication on Wednesday, the US Defence Department said the Under Secretary of Defence for Acquisition and...

MUMBAI: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has renewed its lease for nearly 15 lakh sq ft of office space in Chennai in a transaction with rental outgo of around Rs 1,420 crore over its total tenure of 10 years, underscoring the country’s largest IT services company’s long-term commitment to one of its key delivery hubs.This ranks among the largest office lease renewals and occupier commitments reported anywhere in India. The transaction assumes significance against the backdrop of growing concerns over the impact of artificial intelligence on employment in the technology sector.Several global and Indian IT companies have highlighted productivity gains from AI-led automation in recent quarters, fuelling debates around potential workforce rationalisation and slower hiring.The lease has been signed for space at Chennai One IT SEZ in Thoraipakkam. The agreement commenced on November 1, and covers a chargeable area of 14.66 lakh sq ft, showed documents accessed through Propstack, a realty data analytics platform.TCS will occupy the first to eighth floors across four towers in Block A (Alpha), along with the first, sixth, seventh, eighth and eleventh floors in Block B (Magnum). The leased premises have a carpet area of 11.29 lakh sq ft.The lease has been signed at a starting rental of Rs 70 per sq ft a month, translating into a monthly rental payment of about Rs 10.26 crore. The agreement carries a tenure of 10 years and is backed by a security deposit of Rs 94.64 crore.The lease agreement provides for a 12% escalation in rentals every three years. Based on the contracted rentals and the escalation structure, the total rental commitment over the 10-year tenure is estimated at approximately Rs 1,420 crore.ET’s email query to TCS remained unanswered until the time of going to press.TCS’ decision to retain and renew this nearly 1.5 million sq ft of office space for a decade signals continued confidence in its long-term operational footprint and workforce presence.Chennai continues to remain one of India’s most important technology markets, housing large campuses of domestic and multinational IT companies. The city’s established talent pool, relatively lower operating costs and robust office infrastructure have helped it maintain its position as a preferred destination for technology occupiers. The renewal comes at a time when India's office market continues to witness strong demand from technology firms, global capability centres (GCCs), financial services companies and engineering firms, driving sustained leasing activity across key markets.While artificial intelligence is reshaping workforce strategies and operational models, large occupiers continue to retain and expand their real estate footprints in major business hubs. Long-term lease renewals and large-format transactions have remained a key feature of the market, reflecting occupiers' preference for securing high-quality office assets in established micro-markets with access to talent, infrastructure and business ecosystems.

In the coming weeks, readers will increasingly see two rarely used phrases in stories covering our dwindling worldwide oil inventories: "operational minimum" and "tank bottoms." The phrases more or less signify the same thing, though the former is more abstract and precise, while the latter is more visual. They signify rapid depletion of existing oil inventories and presage price spikes to come due to the loss of oil supplies from the Persian Gulf because of Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the maritime artery through which 20 percent of…
Carys Garland is pleased to welcome Scott Lucas, Professor of American Studies and International Politics at the Clinton Institute, University College Dublin. Amid the latest escalation between Iran, Israel, and the US, Lucas warns that both Tehran and Jerusalem are increasingly willing to act independently of Washington's preferences, exposing what he describes as Donald Trump's diminishing ability to dictate events. He also argues that Tehran is actively seeking to reshape the diplomatic framework, insisting on linking developments in Lebanon, the Strait of Hormuz, sanctions relief, and regional security into a single bargaining process.

Iran on Monday said it was ending its latest military operation against Israel after the first exchanges of fire between the foes since a shaky ceasefire began, but warned it could inflict a more “crushing” response. United States President Donald Trump earlier on Monday told both Iran and key ally Israel to stop fighting, against the background of reports of an increasingly testy relationship between the US leader and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Iran fired dozens of missiles at Israel overnight and Israel responded by targeting military sites in the Islamic republic, sparking fears the escalation could usher in a new full-scale conflict after the April 8 truce. “Israel and Iran must immediately stop ‘shooting.’ President DONALD J. TRUMP,” the US leader wrote on his Truth Social network. Minutes later, he added in a new post that “final negotiations” towards peace were proceeding “subject to ignorance or stupidity getting in its way.” Iran’s military command then said it was halting the operation against Israel after delivering a “painful response”. But it warned “that should acts of aggression and hostility continue, including in southern Lebanon, much more severe and crushing measures than before will follow”. Shortly after, Israel’s army intercepted three projectiles fired from Lebanon, according to an AFP journalist near their shared border, with the military confirming the munitions had targeted its forces operating in Lebanon’s south. “Some of the projectiles were intercepted prior to crossing into Israeli territory, and an additional projectile fell near IDF soldiers. No injuries were reported,” the military said. Tehran’s earlier strikes followed attacks by Israel against targets of the Lebanese group Hezbollah in the southern suburbs of Beirut. Iran had repeatedly warned it would strike Israel if the Lebanese capital was targeted. ‘People frustrated’ On Monday in Tehran, there was little sign of any return to war, with cafe terraces packed. Traffic seemed lighter than usual for a weekday, suggesting that some people had stayed home and there were also many more people queuing at gas stations. Maryam, 41, an accountant in Tehran, described “a sense of uncertainty and confusion”. “You don’t know if there’s going to be a war, nor do you know if the peace agreement will last. Nothing is clear. People are frustrated,” she said. Residents of Tel Aviv meanwhile went to shelters as sirens went off. “I hope it will be short, but you can never know. Last time we thought it will be short and then it was a month, so I don’t know,” said Jonathan Ariel, 30. Oil prices surged more than five per cent on worries that war could break out again, with hopes now punctured of a rapid end to the standoff that has seen shipping limited through the key Strait of Hormuz trade bottleneck. The strikes also came at a critical moment with diplomatic efforts to end the conflict involving mediator Pakistan on a knife-edge. Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei warned at a press conference in Tehran attended by AFP that diplomacy was continuing but risked being “affected” by the escalation. As he was speaking at the foreign ministry, a huge explosion shook the building, followed by repeated explosions believed to be from air defence systems, the AFP reporter said. Pakistan Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi visited Tehran to deliver what he said was a “special letter” to Iran’s supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei, according to Iranian state television. He has since travelled back to Pakistan, an official Pakistani source said on Monday. Iranian President Masoud Pezehskian wrote on X that Tehran was still “at the negotiating table”. ‘Prepared for long-term war’ No casualties have been reported in either Israel or Iran after the exchange of fire. The Israeli military said it struck and dismantled Iranian defence systems deployed across several areas in the country. Iran fired nearly 30 missiles towards Israel since Sunday night, an Israeli military official said. An AFP correspondent also saw a missile fall in agricultural land in the area of Najha, in the countryside of the Syrian capital Damascus, causing a fire around the impact site but no reported human casualties. “Material damage is minor, but the psychological impact is significant. The area is home to children, farm caretakers, livestock and solar power installations,” said Fadil Ataya, a local farmer. A military source told the Tasnim news agency that “Iran is prepared for a long-term war with the Zionist regime and for strikes against US interests” in the region. It also remains unclear who is leading decision-making in Tehran with Mojtaba Khamenei, said to have been wounded in a US-Israeli strike, yet to appear in public after taking over from his father Ali Khamenei who was assassinated on the first day of the war on February 28. The European Union’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas called on both sides to “sit down to a negotiation table and agree”, adding that “the region does not need an escalation.” Israeli strikes on Iran ‘fully coordinated’ with US, says Tehran Iran said on Monday that the recent wave of Israeli strikes against the country was “fully coordinated” with US forces. Tehran’s statement comes after Israel and Iran exchanged attacks for the first time since the shaky ceasefire in the Middle East war took effect on April 8, despite Trump calling for restraint. The flare-up, which also drew in other countries in the region, saw Israel striking Iran after the latter targeted it in vengeance for an airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburbs. No casualties have been reported so far in either Israel or Iran. “The direct responsibility of the United States for the actions of the Zionist regime is clear, and the consequences of escalating tensions will also fall on the United States,” Baqaei told a new briefing, according to state news agency IRNA. “No one believes that the Zionist regime would carry out any action without prior coordination and cooperation with the United States,” Baqaei said. “It is perfectly natural that the diplomatic process initiated to put an end to this imposed war would be affected,” the official observed. Nonetheless, Baqaei said that Pakistan’s mediation efforts to end the war with the US were continuing even after fighting resumed with Israel. “Diplomatic consultations are naturally continuing in all circumstances,” the spokesman said. Baqaei further stressed that it had “been frequently repeated by us together with the Pakistani mediator that Lebanon is part and parcel of the [ceasefire] agreement”, according to Al Jazeera. “We cannot allow the Zionist entity or the United States to undermine this part of the part of the deal,” he was quoted as saying. “These events [of the past day] will definitely intensify suspicions. We were already exchanging messages with the American side in an atmosphere of extreme suspicion,” the Iranian official noted. “The US’s contradictions to date — whether intentional or unintentional — have caused enough chaos in the diplomatic process. The incidents that have occurred in the past 24 hours will only fuel this chaotic situation in the diplomatic process,” he added. Baqaei also reiterated Tehran’s stance that the head of the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog was disregarding the realities of the conflict and held biased views. He contended that International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi was “acting with deliberate bias against Iran and the Iranian nuclear issue”, according to Al Jazeera. Tit-for-tat strikes after Iran’s warning Earlier on Monday, an Israeli airstrike targeted a petrochemical firm in southwestern Iran, causing partial damage to the industrial complex, Iranian officials said. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said Tehran had retaliated against the attack by striking similar industrial targets in Israel’s Haifa. Israel’s attacks had followed missile launches by Iran, whose military said it targeted Israel’s Ramat David Airbase with ballistic missiles in response to Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon and Beirut. The statement warned that any further attacks would be met with “a broader and more severe” Iranian response. Last night, the IRGC demanded that the Israeli army stop its attacks on Lebanon. “We had previously warned that if the crimes in the Dahieh area of Beirut expand, we will attack targets in the occupied territories,” the IRGC’s top joint military command said. On late Saturday night, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also shared an image on X depicting Iran and Lebanon’s national flags. Earlier on Saturday, Israel launched strikes in the Beirut area for the first time since the US announced a truce plan for Lebanon last week. The region has been on edge since the US and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran on February 28, triggering Iranian retaliation on Israel and other regional countries hosting US military sites. A temporary ceasefire was reached on April 8, but negotiations later stalled amid disputes over its implementation and subsequent regional developments.

The Middle East's largest remaining oil export corridor came under renewed pressure on Monday after Yemen's Houthis announced a complete ban on Israeli shipping in the Red Sea, risking a further widening of the shipping crisis beyond the Strait of Hormuz. The announcement comes as the Red Sea has assumed a far larger role in global oil trade following months of disruption around the Strait of Hormuz. Saudi Arabia has increasingly relied on its East-West Pipeline system and the Red Sea export terminal at Yanbu to move crude to international markets,…
