Western officials say they have already seen a decrease in the number of missiles Iran is firing – down from hundreds in the first day of the war to dozens now.

Before the war, it was estimated that Iran had a stockpile of more than 2,000 short-range ballistic missiles. No military publishes precise numbers on how many weapons they have at their disposal, as such figures remain classified to keep adversaries in the dark.

America's top commander, Gen Dan Caine, said on Wednesday that Iran's ballistic missile launches were down 86% from the first day of the fighting on Saturday. US Central Command (Centcom) says there's been a 23% decrease in just the last 24 hours.

Iran was believed to have mass-produced tens of thousands of its Shahed one-way attack drones before the war. It's exported the technology to Russia – which has been using their version of the Shahed to devastating effect in Ukraine. Even the US has copied the design.

But Caine said Iran's drone launches had dropped by 73% since the first day of the conflict.

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...
