‘State of the media’ Trump said that

US President Donald Trump has once again rejected the news of the alarming decline in US arms and ammunition stockpiling in the seventh month of the US-Israel war with Iran, which reported that Trump has reportedly called the media ‘traitor’ in a report by Al-Jazeera, a reporter from Qatar-based news agency Al-Jazeera.

In a post on social media truth social media Trump claims that the US military is producing unprecedented ammunition and has more weapons than necessary.

He said the US military is making ammunition ‘never seen before’ and to them ‘more than we can use,’' he said. There are too many weapons.

Trump has also criticized the media reporting on the decline in US arms stockpiles, calling them a ‘traitor garbage’ and denying the situation of the war with Iran.

Earlier, Trump had made similar comments about the decline in US arms stockpiles in August, a report in the Washington Post, which said Trump was unhappy with the defense minister Pete Hegseth.

At the time, Trump threatened to take strict action against information leakers in the media, saying that the information was found in the leak of those involved in the leaked information. They will be taken out and they will be tried to be sentenced to long term imprisonment.

But the news of the decline in US weapons stockpiles is not limited to media reports, and various military and defense experts have also expressed concerns about the issue.

A July analysis by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) said that the United States has only a third of the Patriot missiles with a little more than one-third, while the terminal high altitude area defense or the Thad missile has almost half of the stockpile of the defense system.

CSIS also said that a large number of US offensive weapons have also been used in the war against Iran, including the Tomahawk cruise missile, joint air-to-surface stand-off missile (JASSSM) and Precision Strike Missile (PSRM).

Although the Trump administration has taken the initiative to increase the production of arms with a new contract with defense contractors, experts have warned that it may take at least two years to restore the stockpile of important weapons.

Some of the former US military officials have warned that in the short term, the shortage of weapons could have a negative impact on the US's resistance to adversaries with more advanced weapons technology than Iran.

Meanwhile, concerns about the US media relations with the Trump administration are also growing, which has been linked to the freedom of the press, saying that Trump has taken several alarming actions against the critical media after taking office for the second time in 2025.

Trump is also accused of pressuring central broadcasting regulators to cancel broadcast licenses in some media outlets, dissatisfied with media reports.

She died without a bride 29 people

In the first six months of this year in Jalgaon district of Maharashtra, India, 383 men committed suicide, according to the Maharashtra Police, according to the fact that 29 of them were not getting married as a reason for their suicide, according to a BBC Bangla report on Saturday.

According to the report, the information about suicides was collected from January 1 to June 30. It has also brought up various causes like drug addiction, depression, family problems and debt. However, after the issue of not getting a bride for marriage in the case of suicide of 29 people, the issue has been discussed in Jalgaon. At the same time, the question has arisen, is it really just because of not getting a bride, or is there more complicated social and economic reality behind it?

A complex picture of young people, their families, women and experts who visit the villages of Jalgaon can be found in a complex picture of which is not just a personal decision, but marriage is becoming more complicated than jobs, land ownership, race, family responsibilities, migration, changing expectations of women and social pressure on men.

‘Need to get married at the right age’

In Jalgaon, he spoke to Vishal Patil of his 30s. He is a professor by profession. And the experience is reflected, Vishal Patil said, "Party's parents want him to get married, but he's postponing things because he's now focused on his career and wants to be financially independent."

He said that he wants to get married only after he finds a woman who will understand him and be suitable for him.

According to Vishal Patil, Indian society has a certain age concept for marriage, generally considered to be between 24 and 26 years of age, or at a maximum of 28-29 years.

According to him, when someone is 30 years old, the attitude of society starts to change, not only because of not marrying, but also the idea that there is a lack of it in the person.

In her interpretation of mental health, Mukesh explains that when the issues of social status and success are included with marriage, many unmarried young people begin to see non-marriage as their own failure.

The issue of the recent suicide statistics of Jalgaon Police is important to keep in mind, as the police have cited the issue of marriage in 29 suicides as the reason for the incident, but the police do not believe that the only reason for these incidents was that they could not get married, such as drug addiction, depression, family pressure and debt, which could also play an important role in these cases.

more single men than women

This figure in Maharashtra points to another important reality, according to the National Family Health Survey-5 (NFHS-5) from 2019 to 2021, about 11 percent of women in Maharashtra are unmarried, with 30 percent of the same age as the number of unmarried men in Maharashtra.

But there is a question of whether the number of women alone is low or not, the case of Kaustubh Potdar in Jalgaon brings a serious side to the issue.

After his B. Farm degree, Kaustubh worked in a private company in Nashik, and after his mother's death, the family started looking for a bride for him, but because he did not have a home or government job, he had to be repeatedly rejected by various brides and Kaustubh Potdar committed suicide in February 2026.

It is not possible to say that the same reason behind the rejection of each marriage proposal, however, shows that the financial stability and family structure of the man in marriage has become important in marriage.

‘If you build a house, you will get a bride’

A senior woman from Jalgaon said her son is now 40 years old, looking for a bride for his son for many years, but now after being repeatedly rejected by the bridegroom, he is building a paved house himself, he hopes that once the house is built, a bride will be available for the son.

Her concern about her son's not getting married was obvious, but the words were more helpless because of the words that did not change for years, but the country's research on the rural areas of Maharashtra was reflected in the study of Mayur Kuduple and Joel Kabalian, their research.

According to the study, it affects the choice of women in village marriage in terms of land, education, caste and age of the bride. Mayur Kuduple said, "Once the girl's family looked at the most land in the pot, now it has become more important whether the pottery has a job or not. According to her, the rural economy has changed but the expectations of the marriage have not changed equally.

The land was previously seen as a symbol of social and economic stability, with regular income, employment, the possibility of living in the city and having one's own home.

The expectations of marriage are changing

Despite these changes, the nation is still a major obstacle, according to Mayur Kudupal, subjects like caste and tribe, limit the scope of choice for marriage, and many families are limited to their own caste and tribe, while looking for a husband and wife, the gender equality coach has highlighted another aspect of this framework.

He said that if a man feels the need to marry a woman from another nation, he may agree to marry a woman of another nation, but whether the woman's race will accept her parents and relatives, that is, the caste-based barriers in marriage have not yet been completely removed, only the nature has changed.

Women's expectations for marriage

While talking to men in Jalgaon, there is often a complaint that many men have been told about marriage, women have increased expectations about marriage. They believe that women want a man who has a job, has a home in the city and who is financially stable. But talking to women gives a different picture of a 20-22-year-old girl about marriage and personal expectations. But the day after the interview, her family said that the conversation could not be used in the report. One thing was clear, but it is clear that women's expectations are changed.

Darshana Pawar said, "It is not a wrong expectation to talk to her husband or spend time together outside, it is not an overwhelming need, but it is not a basic and reasonable aspiration. Awareness is now increasing. Most of the people who have been spoken to in Jalgaon have only blamed women for not getting married."

Mayur Kudupol's research also has raised similar complaints about the change in marriage's preferences about marriage, but the study did not see a change in women's preferences, which is behind the decline of agriculture, unemployment, changing thoughts about education, caste and social status.

What is the position of men?

While talking about marriage in different villages of Jalgaon district, men have also changed their speech patterns, some of them refused to talk in front of the camera, a young man directly said that if he talks about himself in front of the camera, who will marry him? Many families have now stopped pressuring their sons for marriage, because they have also given up a lot of hopes as they have not succeeded in years of trying.

However, some families are still trying to build houses, some are buying land. Some are trying to improve the son's financial condition, so that it is easier to get a bride for marriage. Many families are now dependent on the Ghatak. However, some parents complain that the fraud in the name of marriage has also increased. Some men are also going to different parts of Maharashtra in search of a partner. Not only that, the family is also agreeing to pay some money to get a bride. As a result, the search for the bride and groom has now gone through the situation and the current situation of the bride and groom has gone through the current situation.

Change in marriage arrangements from female feticide

The impact of the widespread female feticide in the past decades has become evident in the male generation of 30 to 35 years of age, who have not yet found a partner in this context, said a large number of female fetuses were destroyed, but the reduction of the number of girls does not mean that women have now the right to make a final decision on marriage.

Mayur Kuduple and Joel Kabalian's research also said that women's decision-making capacity has increased, but issues such as family expectations, race and social structure are still putting pressure on them, while men are also trying to find their position in the concept of employment, income, caste, family expectations and marriage.

All in all, the image of Jalgaon says that the crisis of marriage is not only ‘grooms available’ - this way the whole thing cannot be understood, which is associated with population balance, economic stability, jobs, land, caste, family expectations and changing attitudes of men and women.

Vishal Patil, however, sees the matter differently, in his words, ‘Marriage is not everything in life.’

Trump threatens to attack Iran's pickax mountain

US President Donald Trump has warned of the attack on the Iranian nuclear facility ‘Peakax’ mountains, saying that the United States could ‘soon’ the Picxx attack on the Picxx, according to a report by Al-Jazeera.

Earlier, Trump termed the ongoing US military operation against Iran as a ‘separate’ attack, while also hinting at the attack on the important installations surrounding Iran's nuclear program. Trump termed the ongoing war as a relatively ‘minor’, saying that 18 Americans have been killed in the war with Iran where nearly 100,000 US citizens were killed in the Vietnam War.

The Peakex Mountains are locally known as ‘Kuh-e Kolang Gaz La’ in Iran, which is located near the country's massively damaged Natanz Uranium enrichment structure, with two deep underground tunnel complexes inside the hill.

Excavations began in the area around 2020. Later, a large underground structure was built several hundred meters below the solid granite stone level, according to Western intelligence and analysts working on the prevention of nuclear weapons, Iran was trying to build a secret uranium enrichment center there, according to them, it could have been a ‘strategic alternative’ for Iran's nuclear program.

But Iran has claimed in the past that this structure in the mountains is not for enrichment of uranium, but instead of being built in centrifuges.

Earlier in July he had threatened to attack the Peakeux Mountains as well Trump said in an interview with The Hue Hewitt Show at the time that the US would destroy the Piccax mountain and be ready, and said that the attack could be carried out soon.

The biggest concern with the Peakex Mountains is its depth, according to the assessment of weapons experts, that the underground tunnels built deep in the mountains are so protected that even the most powerful ‘bunker-buster’ bombs of the US military may not be effectively hit by them.

As a result, if Trump's latest threat becomes a reality, there may be new questions about Iran's nuclear infrastructure as well as the ability to attack underground facilities. There are fears that the conflict may intensify.
