<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>America tests ballistic missile : </strong>On Tuesday (March 3), America tested the Doomsday ballistic missile off the California coast amid the ongoing war with Iran. According to the New York Post report, the Minuteman III ballistic missile was launched at 11 pm from the Bandenberg Space Force Base near Santa Barbara.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to the US Space Force, the rocket, known as GT 254, fell on its target near the Marshall Islands in the west-central Pacific Ocean. According to the Force Global Strike Command, the missile was fired to verify readiness and accuracy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Air Force Global Strike Command said, &#8220;Tuesday&#8217;s test-launch was routine and was planned many years ago. Let us tell you that the Minuteman III missile is a part of America&#8217;s nuclear triangle. It has the capability to launch a world-destroying weapon from land, sea and air. It is designed to prevent nuclear war.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How powerful is the Minuteman III ballistic missile?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Minuteman III ballistic missile is capable of carrying a nuclear weapon 20 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Minuteman III is America&#8217;s oldest ICBM, which has been in use since the 1970s and is launched from the ground. Can hit up to a distance of 13,000 kilometers. Nuclear warhead can be installed in it, but there was no weapon in this test.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">America has about 400 such missiles, which are part of its defense against countries like Russia and China. This missile is known by the name Minuteman because it is ready in 1 minute. America is planning to replace it with a new missile by 2030, but till then these tests will continue.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What did the American official tell?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lieutenant Colonel Carey Ray, commander of the 576th Flight Test Squadron, said that this test helped in assessing the efficiency of different parts of the missile system. He said that through such tests the ground part of the country&#8217;s nuclear power can be further strengthened.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Venezuela vs America &#8211; </strong>President Donald Trump said Saturday that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife have been &#8220;captured&#8221; and &#8220;taken out of the country,&#8221; confirming that the United States had &#8220;successfully launched a large-scale strike&#8221; against the country.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">US Senator Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee) wrote, &#8220;Just spoke with @SecRubio on the phone. He informed me that Nicolas Maduro has been arrested by US personnel pending trial on criminal charges in the US, and the military action we witnessed tonight was taken to protect and defend those enforcing the arrest warrant. This action likely falls within the President&#8217;s inherent authority under Article II of the Constitution to protect US personnel from actual or imminent attack. Thank you.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The White House did not immediately respond to questions about where Maduro and his wife were being taken. Maduro was tried in March 2020 in the Southern District of New York on charges of conspiracy to commit &#8220;narco-terrorism.&#8221; US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said the military action and Maduro&#8217;s arrest marked &#8220;the beginning of a new era&#8221; for Venezuela, adding that &#8220;the dictator is over.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He posted this a few hours after the attack. His senior Foreign Minister, Marco Rubio reshared a post he made in July that said Maduro “is not the president of Venezuela and his regime is not a legitimate government.”</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Pakistan Imran Khan Sister Arrested</strong>: Political turmoil is escalating in Pakistan. Pakistan&#8217;s cowardly Field Marshal Asim Munir has once again demonstrated the extent to which he can stoop. Action was taken after midnight against the sisters protesting outside Adiala Jail to meet Imran Khan. Imran&#8217;s sister, Aleema Khan, has been arrested. Furthermore, Imran&#8217;s supporters were also sprayed with water in the bitter December cold.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sisters had come to meet Khan</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In fact, Munir is so afraid of Imran&#8217;s name that Khan&#8217;s supporters are not even being allowed outside the jail. The court has ordered Imran&#8217;s close relatives to meet him every Tuesday. Imran&#8217;s sisters had come to meet him on the court&#8217;s orders. When they were denied access, Khan&#8217;s sisters staged a protest, prompting police action. Only Aleema Khan&#8217;s photographs have surfaced of the arrest.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Aleema Khan surrounded Asim Munir</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During his arrest, Imran&#8217;s sister, Aleema Khan, fiercely attacked Asim Munir. Aleema said that no matter how much oppression Munir commits, people will soon take to the streets in support of Imran. She said, &#8220;We are the people of this country, we have rights here, this country is ours. 250 million people cannot be expelled from the country. If they wish, they can sell this country too. They have already started selling it. We stand with Imran Khan. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Insha&#8217;Allah, you will see, very soon people will come to the streets and there is no other way.&#8221; Aleema said, &#8220;We have no court to go to, and there is no law here. They are breaking the law all day long. Insha&#8217;Allah, then the people will restore their own law.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Imran Supporters Roar</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Along with Imran&#8217;s sisters, a large number of supporters of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf also reached Adiala Jail. Imran Khan&#8217;s supporters also raised slogans against Munir and Shahbaz Sharif. They said that just as their leaders are standing firm inside the jail, they too are standing firm for them outside with their families.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>World Update &#8211;</strong> Former Pentagon official Michael Rubin has made a strong statement regarding Pakistan. He labeled Pakistan a country that promotes terrorism and stated that it is not strategically important to the US in any way. Rubin said that the US relationship with Pakistan should now end because the country promotes terrorism.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Demand for Asim Munir&#8217;s Arrest</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rubin also made a controversial statement about Pakistani Army Chief General Asim Munir. He said that if Asim Munir visits the US, he should be arrested instead of being honored. Rubin further added that Pakistan should be declared a state sponsor of terrorism and the US should change its policy towards countries associated with it.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Demand for Trump to Apologize to India</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rubin criticized former President Donald Trump&#8217;s stance on India-Russia relations and demanded an apology from him to India for the US&#8217;s recent behavior. He said, &#8220;Trump should set aside his ego and apologize to the Indian people, because America&#8217;s democratic interests are above one man&#8217;s ego.&#8221;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Support for Giving Trump the Nobel Prize</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rubin also expressed his candid opinion on India-Russia relations. He stated that Donald Trump played a crucial role in improving relations between India and Russia, for which he deserves the Nobel Prize. He said, &#8220;Because of Trump, India and Russia&#8217;s relations have strengthened, and the respect that India has given to Putin cannot be found anywhere else in the world.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rubin&#8217;s Analysis of the Russian Visit to India</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rubin described the Russian visit to India as a positive step and said that the respect India showed Putin during this visit is significant from a global perspective. However, he also raised the question of how many of the numerous agreements (MoUs) signed between India and Russia will actually be implemented and whether these decisions were truly made in the best interests of both countries, or were merely part of Trump&#8217;s political maneuvering regarding relations with India. This statement clearly raises significant questions about America&#8217;s policy towards Pakistan and India and could have a profound impact on relations between these countries in the future.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Polio Free Indonesia &#8211; </strong>Indonesia has achieved a major public health breakthrough. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared that the country&#8217;s polio virus type 2 outbreak is now over. The official announcement was made on November 19, after no traces of the virus were found in children or the environment since June 2024.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Victification Campaign A Victory</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to the Indonesian Ministry of Health, approximately 60 million additional polio vaccine doses were administered across the country to combat the poliovirus. Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin attributed this success to the hard work of health workers, the cooperation of parents, and the support of international organizations. However, he also warned that the threat of polio has not yet been completely eliminated due to low vaccination coverage in some areas.</p>
