Israel Iran War 'US Used Up Its 20% Stock To Support Israel' Trump Netanyahu THAAD
The United States spent a total of 15 to 20 percent of its advanced anti-missile system Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) to strengthen defence against Iran's airstrikes during the 12-day conflict this month, which erupted after Israel launched a surprise attack on Tehran. According to Military Watch Magazine, between 60 to 80 THAAD interceptors were used during the conflict. A single launch of a THAAD interceptor costs between USD 12 million to 15 million (Rs 102 crore to 128 crore; as per today's exchange rate), which means the entire cost of the usage of these interceptors during the recent conflict falls between USD 810 million to USD 1.215 billion.

‘UP traders driving eco growth, nation-building'
Lucknow: During the 'Bhamashah Samman Samaroh' organised by the state tax department at Lok Bhavan on Saturday, Sarojininagar MLA Rajeshwar Singh said, "UP's traders have not only strengthened the state's economic resources but have also played a vital role in social service and nation-building. " Calling the business class a reflection of "effort, enterprise, and execution," he hailed them as a driving force behind Uttar Pradesh's emergence as a global trade hub. Drawing inspiration from Bhamashah, the historic figure known for donating his wealth to Maharana Pratap, Dr Singh said, "Bhamashah is a timeless symbol of patriotism, sacrifice, and service. Today's traders mirror the same commitment to national progress." Highlighting UP's trade surge, he noted that foreign exports touched $21.98 billion in FY 2024–25, while GST collections reached Rs 9,956 crore in April alone — underlining the merchant class's growing economic influence.
