Trump just showed his hand on Iran.

Story by Newsweek Editors..

President Donald Trump attacked Iran’s “sinister” nuclear ambitions as he laid out his case for deposing the regime of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in his State of the Union address Tuesday night.

The subtext was clear: His patience with Iran is running out.

The president still favors a deal—both sides do—but he has been unequivocal that Iran must meet his demands. Tehran would have to curb its nuclear program and also address its missile development and regional activities.

“We are in negotiations with them. They want to make a deal, but we haven’t heard those secret words: ‘We will never have a nuclear weapon,’” he said.

Crucially, Iran has said those words—often. Indeed, hours before Trump’s speech, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s foreign minister, said: “Our fundamental convictions are crystal clear: Iran will under no circumstances ever develop a nuclear weapon.”

Trump, therefore, has shown his hand—and the message is unmistakable.

Trump sounds nuclear warning :

Trump’s warning on Iran’s nuclear ambitions was one of the most forceful moments of the night. By declaring that he would “never allow” Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon, the president drew a clear red line—one that leaves little room for ambiguity about how far he might be willing to go.

China boosting development of AI for use in trade war with US. NEW DELHI —  Encouraged by the enthusiastic reception to its DeepSeek artificial intelligence platform in January, China's leaders are going all out to encourage AI companies to harness the power of this technology to compete with the United States and other countries in business and military spheres. China considers AI an important tool to handle U.S. restrictions on Chinese business, particularly after DeepSeek shook up Wall Street, resulting in a loss of $589 billion for Nvidia stockholders in late January. "The government in China works directly with the private sector and universities in the advancement and deployment of AI technology and are reducing their dependence on imports of high-technology products," said Lourdes Casanova, director of Cornell University's Emerging Markets Institute. The past few weeks have seen China rolling out several new AI models, including Manus, which experts say can riv...

(قاسم علی شاہ) ڈاکٹر مارٹن سیلگ مین ایک ممتاز ماہر نفسیات، مصنف اور محقق ہیں۔ انہیں "مثبت نفسیات" کا بانی سمجھا جاتا ہے۔ انسانی رویے اور جذبات پر ان کی تحقیق کو بین الاقوامی سطح پر پذیرائی ملی ہے۔ 1967 میں، اس نے " سیکھی ہوئی بے بسی" کا نظریہ پیش کیا۔ اس فلسفے کے مطابق جب کوئی فرد بار بار ناکام ہوجائے تو ایک وقت کے بعدوہ کوشش کرنا چھوڑ دیتا ہے اگرچہ حالات سازگار کیوں نہ ہو جائیں۔ اس بنیاد پر انھوں نے ایک تجربہ کیا۔ انھوں نے چند کتوں کو ایک پنجرے میں بند کیا اور انھیں بجلی کے ہلکے جھٹکے دیے۔ کتوں نے نکلنا چاہا لیکن باہر جانے کاراستہ نہیں تھا۔ دوسری مرتبہ انھی کتوں کو پنجرے میں بندکرکے ان پر بجلی چھوڑدی گئی، اس بار باہر جانے کاراستہ کھلا چھوڑ دیا گیا تھا لیکن حیرت انگیز طورپر کتے باہر نہیں گئے اور بجلی کے جھٹکے برداشت کرتے رہے۔ اس تجربے نے انسانی نفسیات کے میدان میں تہلکہ مچا دیا۔ ڈاکٹر سیلگ مین نے اپنے نظریے کو انسانوں پر لاگو کیا تو انھیں معلوم ہوا کہ مسلسل نا...

Putin's death economy, fallen soldiers are an asset for Russia. Examining the role of fallen soldiers in Russia's growth. As reported by the Wall Street Journal and stated by Vladislav Inozemtsev, a noted Russian economist, families of 35-year-old soldiers who serve for a year and are killed in action might be awarded up to 14.5 million rubles, approximately equivalent to $150,000. This amount encompasses both the salary and death compensation. Worth more dead than alive. The amount doesn’t include bonuses and insurance payouts, and in some regions of Russia, it’s more than what a man would have earned as a civilian if he worked until the age of 60. An attractive offer for recruits. Moreover, in order to attract the largest number of recruits to the Ukrainian front, Vladimir Putin decided last July to double the monthly salary of contract soldiers. Ten times the average salary. This amount increased from 195,000 to 400,000 rubles (a little over 4,000 euros or 4,400 US dollars),...
