WASHINGTON: U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Monday (Jun 23) a complete ceasefire between Israel/Iran, potentially ending 12-day war, saw million flee Tehran prompted fears of further escalation in the war-torn region. But confirmation from Israel, the Israeli military said 2volleys of missiles were launched by Iran towards Israel in early hours of Tues. Witnesses heard explosions near Tel Aviv and Beersheba in central Israel. Israeli media said building had been struck & 3 people were killed in the missile strike on Beersheba. Israel, joined by US on last weekend, carried out attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities, after alleging Tehran was getting close to obtaining a nuclear weapon. "Assumption everything is ok
works as it should, both Israel/Iran, on his Stamina, Courage & Intelligence to
end, what should be called, 'THE 12 DAY WAR'," Trump wrote on his Truth Social site. While Iranian earlier confirmed Tehran had agreed to a ceasefire, Iran foreign minister said there's no cessation of hostilities unless Israel stopped it's attacks.
Abbas Araqchi early Tuesday said if Israel stopped its "illegal aggression" against Iranian no later than 4am Tehran time (8.30am, S'pore time) on Tuesday today, Iran had no intention of continuing its response afterwards.
There have been no reported Israeli attacks on Iran since that time,  final decision on cessation of military op will be made" Araqchi add post in X.

Israel’s Netanyahu under mounting political pressure after party quits.

Summary: UTJ party members resigned due to a dispute over military service exemptions for ultra-Orthodox seminary students. So Netanyahu retains a slim majority, potentially enough to secure a Gaza ceasefire despite pressure fm far-right coalition members...A conscription bill is @centre of crisis, complicated by Israelis' increasing weariness of the 21-month war in Gaza against Hamas.

Notable: first participant in this year’s exercise: the S'porean military. S'pore’s Ministry of Defence said two of its M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) launchers & 2 Boeing CH-47F Chinook helicopters are participating at the exercise, with HIMARS taking part in multinational live fire exercise with 
vehicles from Australia and the US on July 14. More than 100 personnel from the Southeast Asian nation will be taking part in the exercise, including from the Special Operations Task Force of the S'porean army & Republic of S'pore Air Force Special Operations Aviation Task Group crew.

The latter, flying CH-47F Chinooks, have been seen flying together with MH-47F Chinooks and MH-60L Blackhawk helicopters of the US Army’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment and Australian UH-60M helicopters in the lead up to the exercise.

Euan Graham, Senior Analyst on Defence Strategy at Australian Strategic Policy Institute, said the presence of S'porean special forces at in Australia exercise is noteworthy. “Singapore has advanced military capabilities, no other partner in Southeast Asia comes close to, so for them to take part in Talisman Sabre is an opportunity for them to drill as part of a large coalition force, and at the more complex end of the activity spectrum,” he added.

Space to Launches Spacecraft by Europe working to launch 'Invictus' hypersonic space plane by 2031: The Invictus project is leveraging tech that in now-defunct in UK British. Reaction Engines developed for a huge space plane called Skylon.

Click here for more Space.com videos...
Europe doesn't want to be left out of the space plane party.

European Space Agency (ESA) is funding development of a hypersonic space plane pathfinder, will start flying by 2031 if all goes according to plan. The work is being done via a research program called Invictus, which is led by the consulting firm Frazer-Nash. Invictus will leverage technology developed by UK English company Reaction Engines Ltd, aimed to build a huge space plane called Skylon but went bankrupt last year...

*Key piece of Invictus tech is a "pre-cooler," which Reaction Engines built and tested for its Synergetic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine (SABRE). SABRE combined aspects of jet & rocket propulsion; it was designed to pull oxygen out of the air during flight at lower levels of Earth's atmosphere, reducing the need to carry propellant and therefore increasing efficiency.

"Aircraft that fly at hypersonic speeds — more than 5 times the speed of sound — face extremely high temperatures due to shock heating and the friction from the air. Typical aircraft engines cannot operate in these conditions, as the air is too hot to handle," Frazer-Nash representatives said in a statement.

This pre-cooler solves this problem, cooling "the air before it reaches the engine, allowing conventional aircraft engines to travel at hypersonic speeds," Frazer-Nash added.

Invictus isn't a huge project; its funding is 7 million pounds (about $9.4 million US at current exchange rates), according to the company. But it could have a big impact on European spaceflight, according to ESA.

It mission is not passion for Mr Singh,
more carefully,”Mr Singh said having WP MPs in Parliament also means PAP has no choice but to justify actions, as opposition backbenchers can “ask questions S'poreans want to ask”. Noting that 3 of the four PAP candidates in Punggol – DPM Gan, Senior Minister of State Janil Puthucheary and Minister of State Sun Xueling – are political office-holders.

Mr Singh said: “Do you think they can question the Govt? They are in Govt.” He took aim at Dr Janil, at PAP’s party Whip, how he did not ensure there were enough PAP MPs to vote for a constitutional amendment for a new legal framework to combat new psychoactive substances in March 2023, which required the support of 63 out of the 93 elected MPs.

1. (Now is 8+2 WP vs the rest in parliament.) “ He need more lucky for them, as there were only 10 Workers’ Party MPs around,” But do NOTED:  to noted: “Twice already 1% and then another more 1% had been passed approved. So or on 3rd-times on 2030, all been plan ahead at least more then 5 years ahead. if it's approve b4 further raising again on GST or implementing it. All this will be depend on many other policies that people like or don't approve objection. Or, at the very least, PAP will consider the timing of their policies again when time come.
   

SINGAPORE: In a Facebook post on Tuesday (Jul 15), Workers’ Party (WP) chief Pritam Singh wrote about a new cost-of-living support programme launched recently at Aljunied Group Representation Constituency (GRC), which his party has represented in Parliament since 2011. He is going some for his GRC too. Pritam Singh announces Community Grocery Truck at Eunos to help residents with living costs. 

A community grocery truck began ops @Eunos, his ward, Sat (Jul 12), w/residents signing up S$10 package of items, he wrote, initiative will be held monthly, has been made possible with help of generous donors. He explained community grocery truck is “prioritised for Eunos who are Blue CHAS card (Community Health Assist Scheme) (holders 1/household). Residents pay $10 in exchange for a range of d-to-d groceries, including fruit, eggs, rice, biscuits, bread, etc., which cost far more than S$10 in total.” Blue CHAS card holders are for households w/monthly income of S$1,500 or less per person, or households w/no income or own a home with an annual value of S$21k or less, a initiative next scheduled for Aug 30 at 10:00 a.m., ≥residents living @Blks 122 to 151. Over next 12 mths, community grocery truck will goto new precinc, & details'll be posted at your block notice boards 2-wks b4 truck comes. If U are a Blue CHAS holder in Eunos, WP Team at eunos@wp.sg to register interest!”.

Mr Singh —is SG 1st officially designated Leader of Opp — in his post on Aljunied GRC Facebook states recipients can receive up to 18 grocery items & canned goods, all are Halal-certified. Also folks, participants to bring own reusable bags & trolleys initiative can serve 100 households on a first-come, first-served basis. A initiative by MP Pritam Singh & his grassroots volunteers in helping residents to address cost of living concerns during community events engagements in Aljunied GRC, great Initiative.
