Trump was addressing an election rally. During this, he called Biden's statement a big mistake.
Former US President Donald Trump said that Israel should attack Iran's nuclear base in response to its missile attack. According to news agency AFP, Trump said this in an election campaign in North Carolina on Friday.
Earlier, US President Joe Biden had said that if Israel attacks Iran's nuclear sites, America will not support it. Trump criticized this statement of Biden.
Trump said-
Biden is wrong. Nuclear weapons are the biggest threat to us. Iran will soon have nuclear weapons which will create problems for us. When he was asked this question, his answer should have been to drop the bomb there first and worry about other things later.
Iran has missile bases, airbases and research centers in these cities.
Trump had said 2 days ago that increasing Israel-Iran tension is a sign that the world is moving towards the third world war.
Biden said- Israel should not attack Iran's oil base According to the Times of Israel, Biden said on Friday that Israel has not yet decided how it will respond to Iran's attack. He has advised Israel not to attack Iran's oil reserves.
Biden told reporters that if he were in Netanyahu's place, he would think about other options. He also said that there is not going to be a war between Israel and Iran. They are trying their best to stop the war in the Middle East.
Biden said that he has been helping Israel in the past also. Will protect Israel in future also. He was briefing reporters at the White House.
Does Netanyahu want to influence the American elections, Biden said – I am not sure Biden was asked whether Israeli PM Netanyahu was rejecting the ceasefire agreement in Gaza and Lebanon to influence the US presidential election. In response to this he said- “No one has helped Israel more than me. Netanyahu should remember this. As far as influencing the elections is concerned, I do not believe in it.”
Biden said he thinks he will talk to Netanyahu after Israel decides how it wants to respond to Iran. According to the report, there has been no conversation between the two leaders for 6 weeks.
Earlier on Wednesday, Biden had said that we do not support the attack on Iran's nuclear sites. He had said that some sanctions would be imposed on Iran. They want this problem to be resolved through talks.
America attacked Houthi rebels The US Army on Friday attacked 15 positions of Houthi rebels in Yemen and destroyed their weapons. The US military carried out these attacks at a time when Houthi rebels had shot down an American military drone in Yemen just a few days ago.
2 Israeli soldiers killed in Golan Heights Apart from Hezbollah and Houthi rebels, Iraqi militias are also attacking Israeli military bases. Two Israeli soldiers were killed in an Iraqi militia attack in the Golan Heights, the IDF said Friday.
Israel's ground operation against Hezbollah continues in Lebanon. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Friday that they had killed 250 Hezbollah fighters in the last 4 days. These include 5 battalion commanders, 10 company commanders, 6 platoon commanders. The Israeli army said that more than 2,000 military targets of Hezbollah were destroyed in the ground operation.

Budget 2023: Amidst the ever-increasing inflation in the country, this year also common people are hopeful that the central government can provide them relief from tax exemption in the budget. However, the Finance Ministry has shown great strictness in this regard in the last several years. When asked by the Finance Minister about tax exemption not being given, the reply was that not imposing new tax is also tax exemption.
However, this year being the last full budget before the elections, experts' expectations regarding tax exemptions have also increased. He says that due to rising inflation, the government can give tax exemption as a relief to the common people. This will bring additional spendable money into the hands of common people. In view of the increasing diseases and their expenses after the Corona epidemic, the government may increase the scope of tax exemption available in lieu of medical expenses. Besides, the scope of tax exemption available through investment under 80C may also increase. At the same time, to promote investment in the stock market, the capital gains tax on it can be reduced. According to experts, the government will try to put as much spendable money in the hands of the common people as possible. So that the spending capacity of the people increases. Due to this, ultimately a large part of it can also return to the government treasury in the form of other taxes. In such a situation, the government will not have to put any huge burden on the treasury to give tax exemption.
Increase in minimum income tax limit possible
Tax matters expert Devendra Kumar Mishra believes that the government will definitely provide relief to the common people this time. Income of common people up to Rs 5 lakh can be further increased to Rs 6 lakh tax free. The biggest relief can be found in the category of income of Rs 15 lakh without availing tax exemption, which is kept in the bracket of 20 per cent. This can be increased to Rs 17 lakh.
Interest discount expected to increase
Apart from this, the government can also increase the limit of standard deduction for the salaried class. This figure can be increased from Rs 50 thousand to Rs one lakh. Also, the interest income can be increased from Rs 50 thousand to Rs 1 lakh for senior citizens and Rs 25 thousand for general citizens.

Pakistan's decision to invite controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik as a state guest to irritate India has backfired. Pakistan is facing embarrassment due to Zakir Naik's strange statements. Her statements on issues like women's rights, child sexual abuse and her escape from a group of orphan girls are being ridiculed by Pakistanis themselves. Many people are also asking whether Zakir Naik is a religious preacher or a 'stand-up comedian'. It is noteworthy that Zakir Naik is currently in Pakistan for a month and is also doing public programs at many places including Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore.
The Mumbai-born Islamic preacher is wanted in India on charges of using hate speech to incite radicalism and money laundering. His channel PeaceTV has been banned in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka due to its controversial content. Zakir Naik cannot even get entry into Britain and Canada. He has currently camped in Malaysia where he has got permanent residency. After his absurd statements, people are trolling him fiercely on social media. One user wrote, “Actually Pakistanis called him so that they can know why India and other countries have banned him.” Another user said, “Who has called him? Please don’t invite such illiterate people next time.”
Addressing supporters in Karachi, Zakir Naik had criticized Pakistan International Airlines for not waiving the charges for excess baggage during travel from Malaysia to Pakistan and instead giving him a 50 per cent discount. People had a lot of fun with this statement. Not only this, Zakir Naik also started remembering India. She said during her speech, “I am deeply saddened that PIA could not allow me to carry 300 kg of extra luggage as a state guest. I don't want your discount. I feel sad to speak the truth but this is the situation in Pakistan. When a Hindu in India sees me, he says Dr. Naik will always speak the truth. As of today, India is not wrong, Modi is wrong. I get respect in India…people like me in Pakistan too.”
In another viral video, Zakir Naik was also seen shouting at a Pashtun girl who asked him to tell her about the rising incidents of “pedophilia” in Pakistan. During the programme, the girl had asked Zakir Naik about the root causes of increasing cases of drug addiction and child sexual abuse. Refuting his claims, she insisted that there is no mention of pedophilia in the Quran or any Islamic scripture and accused him of defaming Islam. Zakir Naik said, “A Muslim can never sexually abuse children and should think 10 times before making such allegations.” When the girl tried to explain her point further, Zakir Naik reacted sharply and said, “This is a wrong question and you should apologize to God.”
Zakir Naik, in another speech, said that people living in Pakistan have more chances of reaching 'Jannat' (heaven) than those in America. This statement has gone viral on the internet and there is huge opposition to it. While sharing the video on social media platform This is true. There are more suicide bombers and terrorists in Pakistan than in any other country in the world.”
Pakistan-based reporter and researcher Usman Chaudhary posted a video in which Zakir Naik is being welcomed on stage by girls from an orphanage. However, Naik was seen leaving the stage in a hurry. The girls present there kept looking at him in surprise. Imtiaz Mahmood, a well-known British social media user, said in a post that Zakir Naik was upset that the orphanage administrators had presented the girls as daughters and that is why he ran away from the platform. Zakir Naik reportedly described them as 'non-mahram' and said, “You cannot touch them or call them your daughters.” Mahmood said that Naik's argument is that these young girls are of marriageable age and hence they cannot be presented as his daughters.
India had criticized Pakistan's honoring of Zakir Naik but also said it was not surprising. “We have seen reports that he (Zakir Naik) has been honored in Pakistan,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said at the weekly media briefing. He has been warmly welcomed there. It is not surprising to us that an Indian fugitive has been welcomed in Pakistan. This is disappointing and condemnable.”
New Delhi. India has got a lifeline before the do or die match with Sri Lanka in the Women's T20 World Cup. This lifeline has come from Australia's resounding victory over New Zealand. Australia defeated New Zealand by 60 runs on Tuesday night. Due to this, New Zealand's net run rate has become negative. Now there is not much difference left in the net run rate of India and New Zealand.
The match between India and Sri Lanka in the Women's T20 World Cup is to be held on Wednesday. India's record against Sri Lanka is excellent. The Indian women's team has defeated Sri Lanka 19 times, while it has lost only 5 matches. However, the Indian team will definitely remember the recently played Asia Cup final, in which it had to face defeat by Sri Lanka. Before the important match against Sri Lanka, there is a good news for India that captain Harmanpreet Kaur is now completely fit. He had to retire hurt due to injury in the last match.
New Zealand announces team for India tour, Kiwis will bring along Sri Lankan veteran
58 run defeat spoiled India's game
Talking about the Women's T20 World Cup being played in UAE, the Indian team has played 2 matches so far. In the points table, it has 2 points after one loss and one win. India was defeated by New Zealand by 58 runs in the first match. Due to this, India's net run rate deteriorated significantly. When the Indian team takes the field against Sri Lanka, along with victory, the net run rate will also be on its mind.
How Australia gave life
Australia, New Zealand and Pakistan are also in India's group. These three teams are in a better position than India in the points table. Australia is at first place with 4 points. Till a day ago, New Zealand was at number one with 2 points and 2.900 run rate. After the loss to Australia, it has slipped to third place. Now his run rate has become -0.050. Now India, Pakistan and New Zealand have lost one match each. All three teams have 2-2 points. These teams can now reach a maximum of 6 points. In such a situation, there can be a battle for points as well as net run rate between these three teams for the semi-finals. Australia's victory over New Zealand has made the mathematics of net run rate a little easier for India.
India has a chance to make a comeback
India now has a chance to register a big win over Sri Lanka and not only get 2 points but also increase the net run rate. India's net run rate is currently -1.217. The Sri Lankan team has not been able to score 100 runs even once in the tournament. India can take advantage of his poor form. Top-2 teams from both the groups will enter the semi-finals of the World Cup. If the points remain equal, the semi-finalist team will be decided on the basis of net run rate.

There has been a lot of conversation regarding the Champions Trophy 2025 taking place in Pakistan and what that means for India's participation in the tournament. India and Pakistan have not played a bilateral series in over a decade due to political tensions and the only time the two teams face each other is during international competitions. While Pakistan did travel to India for the 2023 ODI World Cup, India have not confirmed their plans regarding the Champions Trophy. While Lahore has reportedly been confirmed as the venue for the tournament's final, a report by Telegraph.co.uk claims that the final can be shifted to Dubai if the Indian cricket team ends up qualifying for the summit clash of Champions Trophy 2025.
The report further claimed that India can play all of their games in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) if they decide not to travel to Pakistan. However, in the past few weeks, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has shown confidence that the tournament will take place in Pakistan in its entirety.
Earlier, chairman Mohsin Naqvi has expressed confidence that the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy will be held successfully in Pakistan, with all participating teams, including India, expected to participate in the tournament.
Set to take place from February 19 to March 9, the Champions Trophy will be played across Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi. Naqvi emphasized that preparations for the event are progressing on schedule, with further improvements to stadiums already in motion.
Speaking in Lahore, Naqvi addressed the ongoing uncertainty surrounding India's participation. India has not toured Pakistan since July 2008 due to political tension between the two countries. However, Naqvi remained optimistic about India's inclusion in the tournament.
“The Indian team should come. I don't see them canceling or postponing coming here, and we are confident we will host all the teams in the Champions Trophy in Pakistan,” Naqvi told reporters in Lahore.
He assured that the stadiums would be ready on time, and any further renovations would be completed post-tournament. “In a way, you can say that we are going to have a brand new stadium,” Naqvi added.
