US Tests Nuclear-War-Carrying Missile
The US tested a missile called the "Minuteman III" from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on Tuesday night. It is often called the "Doomsday Missile" because it can carry nuclear weapons and is a key part of America's nuclear strategy.

The missile's target was set near the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean, and it flew thousands of kilometers before hitting its target.

The Minuteman III was deployed in 1970. The US now has approximately 400 such missiles stationed at three Air Force bases. The missile can fly up to 13,000 kilometers and carries nuclear warheads that strike three different targets.

Each warhead is approximately 20 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb. US officials stated that this was a routine test and has no direct connection to the Iran-Israel war. US identifies soldiers killed in the war with Iran
