IRAN warned Israel on Tues day against attacking any of its infrastructure amid fears of a possible Israeli assault on oil or nuclear sites following Iran’s missile barrage last week.

“Any attack against infrastructure in Iran will provoke an even stronger response,” state television quoted Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi as saying.

He spoke after Israel said it was preparing a response to Iran’s 1 October missile attack on its arch-enemy, its second on the country in six months.

On Monday, an official statement quoted Araghchi as saying Iran did not seek war in the region.

On Friday US President Joe Biden cautioned Israel against attacking oil installations in Iran, one of the world’s top 10 producers of crude.

Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps General Rassul Sanairad warned Israel on Sunday any attack on nuclear or energy sites would cross a “red line”.

The Fars news agency quoted him as saying following the Israeli threat: “Some political leaders have spoken of a possible change in Iran’s nuclear policy.” — AFP

SHIGERU Ishiba, leader of Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), was officially elected the country’s prime minister on Tuesday after winning a majority of votes in both houses of parliament.

The Japanese Diet convened an extraordinary session in the afternoon to choose the new prime minister. As the ruling coalition led by the LDP controls both chambers, 67-year-old Ishiba received 291 of 461 votes in the House of Representatives and 143 of 242 votes in the House of Councillors.

After the special Diet session, the 67-year-old veteran politician unveiled his

cabinet lineup consisting of 13 first-time appointees, two reappointments and four

returning ministers with previous cabinet experience. He will later be formally inaugurated in a ceremony at the Imperial Palace and hold a press conference in the evening to lay out his policy priorities.

In the new cabinet, former Defence Minister Takeshi Iwaya became minister of

foreign affairs, while former Defence Minister Gen Nakatani once again returned to

the post. Yoshimasa Hayashi, the top government spokesman under Kishida, will

retain the post of chief cabinet secretary.

Katsunobu Kato, one of Ishiba’s competitors in the LDP race, will take the position of finance minister, while Yoji Muto will serve as minister for economy, trade, and industry. Only two women were appointed to the cabinet: Toshiko Abe as minister of education, culture, sports, science, and technology, and Junko Mihara as minister for children’s policies, reducing the number of female ministers by three compared with the Kishida cabinet. — Xinhua

NORTH Korea’s Kim Jong Un would face the end of his regime if he used his nuclear weapons against the South, its president said Tuesday, as Seoul staged a parade showcasing its military prowess.

Fighter jets flew over downtown Seoul and tanks rolled through the streets, as South Korea displayed weaponry including its largest ballistic missile, the Hyunmoo-5, which is capable of destroying underground bunkers, for the first time.

The event, which marks Armed Forces Day in the South, comes as relations between the two Koreas are at one of their lowest points in decades, with Pyongyang declaring the South its “principal enemy” and moving nuclear-capable weapons to the border.

“If North Korea attempts to use nuclear weapons, it will face the resolute and overwhelming response of our military and the US and Republic of Korea alliance,” Seoul’s President Yoon Suk Yeol said.

“That day will be the end of the North Korean regime,” Yoon said, addressing thousands of service members gathered at Seoul Air Base for the event.

Washington stations tens of thousands of troops in South Korea to help defend it against the North, and Seoul — which has no nukes of its own — is covered by the US nuclear umbrella. — AFP

THE 15-day enumeration of nationwide population and household census commenced yesterday, and it will end on 15 October.

The enumerators led by Union Minister for Immigration and Population U Myint Kyaing collected census data of State Administration Council Chairman Prime Minister Senior-General Min Aung Hlaing at the Tatmadaw Guesthouse in the office of Commander-in-Chief (Army) at noon yesterday.

The Senior General altogether provided the needed data.

Similarly, the enumerators conduct census collection on the families of SAC

Vice-Chairman Deputy Prime Minister Vice-Senior General Soe Win, Pyithu Hluttaw Speaker U T Khun Myat, SAC Secretary General Aung Lin Dwe, Joint Secretary General Ye Win Oo and SAC Member General Maung Maung Aye at their respective houses.

Every country takes a national census every ten years as it has to set policies and projects to ensure proportionate development in social, economic, and management sectors, depending on the population received from the census.

The data from the census-collecting process is concerned not only with the government and ministries but also with each and every citizen of the country as they are the focal information for political, economic, social, defence and public affairs management sectors. The Ministry of Immigration and Population is leading the enumeration process of the population and household census, and it can be done successfully with public participation.

The 2024 enumeration process of the population and household census is being conducted to collect accurate population and socioeconomic data in time, adopt policies, projects, strategies and tactics for social, economic and management measures by conducting research on population and socioeconomic changes between 2014 and 2024, compile the necessary index in implementing the Myanmar Sustainable Development Plan (MSDP) and develop the national statistic system to contribute the national strategy. Although there were 41 questions in the 2014 census, there were 68 questions in 2024, adding 27 new questions to receive more precise data. Some of the examples of additional data questions are the main reasons for not joining school in the education sector and waste system or sanitation system for household data. These questions are practical facts for the government to consider in order to fulfil the needs of the people in the education, health, and social sectors. The census team will collect data at homes from 7 am to 6 pm, and they will inform the date in advance. The census-taking process is not concerned with whether the people have a household census form 66/6 or from 10, CSC, or whether they are ethnic people or citizens. However, all the data of the people in Myanmar territory will be enumerated within the census reference timeframe except for those who are not included. Moreover, the tax will not be levied, and action will not be taken against the possessions based on the census. There is no need to worry about the family members residing abroad as there is no occasion to take action. —MNA/KTZH
