Trump Warns Iran to Enter Talks "Before It's Too Late" Amid Escalating Conflict with Israel
Nada Mustafa
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Iran "will not win this war" and urged Tehran to enter negotiations immediately "before it's too late."
Since early Friday, Israel has launched a wide-scale assault on Iran, deploying dozens of fighter jets to strike nuclear facilities, missile bases, and assassinate key military leaders and nuclear scientists across multiple regions.
The Israeli Defense Forces described the operation as a "preemptive strike" conducted under political directives.
Netanyahu called the unprecedented offensive a mission to "cripple Iran's nuclear infrastructure, ballistic missile factories, and various military capabilities."
In response, Iran launched a series of ballistic missile and drone attacks, resulting in over 250 casualties and widespread material damage to buildings and vehicles.

War costs Israel $1 billion a day, jeopardizing its economy
Israel's new phase of conflict with Iran imposes significant financial challenges on the Jewish state's economy. These additional expenditures further come atop its ongoing war on the Gaza Strip. Israel's war with Iran is costing Tel Aviv approximately 2.75 billion shekels (equivalent to US$725 million) per day in direct military expenditures, according to a former senior defense official who spoke to the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth. A former financial advisor to the Israeli Chief of Staff, Ram Aminoach, said that losses in the first two days of fighting amounted to approximately 5.5 billion shekels ($1.45 billion), divided equally between offensive and defensive operations, and this estimate does not include damage to civilian property and the broader economic repercussions. Aminoach said that the offensive operations, which included Israel's first strike on Iran, amounted to approximately 2.25 billion shekels ($593 million), including flight hours and ammunition, while the remaining amount was allocated to defensive measures such as the use of interceptor missiles and the mobilization of reserves. He emphasized that 'these are only direct costs. The indirect costs—including their impact on GDP—cannot be measured at this stage.' The Israeli Finance Ministry set a deficit ceiling of 4.9 percent of GDP for the current fiscal year, equivalent to approximately 105 billion shekels ($27.6 billion). While the budget includes an emergency reserve, most of it has already been depleted during the war on Gaza Strip and does not take into account the war with Iran. The war led to a downward revision of Israel's economic forecasts – the Israeli Finance Ministry lowered its growth forecast for 2025 from 4.3 percent to 3.6 percent.

G7 leaders agree on strategy to protect critical mineral supply, draft document says
Reuters — Group of Seven leaders provisionally agreed Monday on a strategy to help protect the supply of critical minerals and bolster their economies, according to a draft statement seen by Reuters. The draft, which a source said had not yet been approved by US President Donald Trump, also said minerals markets should reflect the real costs of responsible extraction, processing and trade. China's decision in April to limit exports of a wide range of critical minerals and magnets disrupted supplies needed by automakers, computer chip manufacturers and military contractors around the world. Trump last week said Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to let rare earth minerals and magnets flow to the United States. Rare earths and other critical minerals, though, remain a source of leverage for Beijing. 'Non-market policies and practices in the critical minerals sector threaten our ability to acquire many critical minerals,' the draft said. 'Recognizing this threat to our economies, as well as various other risks to the resilience of our critical minerals supply chains, we will work together and with partners beyond the G7 to swiftly protect our economic and national security.' This included anticipating critical minerals shortages, coordinating responses to deliberate market disruption, and diversifying mining, processing, manufacturing, and recycling, it said.

Trump Seeks to Gauge Iran's Seriousness in Returning to Talks, Says U.S. Media Reports
Ahmed Emam U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly seeking to determine how serious Iran is about returning to diplomatic negotiations, according to American media outlets. The reports come amid escalating tensions in the Middle East and increasing international pressure to revive stalled talks over Iran's nuclear program and regional activities. Trump, who has remained vocal on foreign policy matters, is said to be monitoring Iran's recent moves closely. Sources cited in the media suggest that Trump believes a potential opening for dialogue may exist but insists on clear signals from Tehran about its willingness to engage constructively. 'He wants to see if the Iranians are genuinely prepared to talk, not just playing for time,' one source familiar with the matter was quoted as saying. Iranian officials have yet to respond publicly to the reports. Meanwhile, the Biden administration continues its efforts, alongside European allies, to prevent further escalation and restore diplomatic channels with Tehran. The developments come as global leaders weigh the risks of further confrontation between Iran and Israel and the broader implications for regional and international security. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand
