Israel-Iran War Update
Financial impact of Israel-Iran war: After the Israel-Iran war started, both the countries have launched hundreds of missiles against each other, leading to massive casualties on both sides. Along with valuable lives, both the war-torn countries have also lost millions of dollars in the weapons they have used against each other. As per media reports, Israel and Iran are both facing massive daily financial losses from their ongoing conflict and here are all the details you need to know.
According to a media report, Israel is spending approximately $200 million every day just to intercept Iranian missiles. In the first two days, Israel alone suffered an estimated $1.45 billion in damage to infrastructure and defense systems after Iranian attack. Another report said that Israel is spending around $725 million per day on the military strikes and rebuilding the damage may cost $ 400 million.
On the other hand, a one-month war with Iran could cost Israel around $12 billion, as per a report by Zvi Eckstein, the head of the Aaron Institute for Economic Policy. Apart from the direct losses, Iran has also faced heavy losses in gas and oil production. Israel targets military sites, missile launchers in Iran
As the war in Middle-east continuous, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced that the Israeli Air Force (IAF) began a series of strikes targeting military sites in western Iran following a missile attack conducted by Iran earlier that day.
'The IAF has begun a series of strikes towards military targets in western Iran,' the IDF posted on X.
Iran launched more than 30 ballistic missiles at Israel on Sunday, the IDF had said earlier in the day. This came just hours after the United States carried out a military strike on three of Iran's nuclear facilities.
According to emergency service Magen David Adom (MDA), at least 16 people have been injured in the latest missile barrage. One man in his 30s sustained moderate shrapnel wounds, while 15 others were lightly injured.

‘This is an outright war crime': Protests erupt in US and other countries after Trump's strikes on Iran
Anti-war protests broke out in multiple US cities, including San Francisco, New York, and Washington, DC, over the weekend following US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Demonstrators criticised what they called an 'unconstitutional' escalation and warned of a wider Middle East conflict. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump and administration officials defended the attacks and warned of further action if Iran retaliates. Hundreds of demonstrators marched through San Francisco's Market Street, demanding an end to US military intervention in Iran. 'Trump has bombed Iran three times. This is an outright war crime,' said one protest speaker, according to ABC News. Similar protests unfolded in Washington, DC, New York, and Boston, with demonstrators holding placards and chanting slogans. Many rallies were organised by the ANSWER Coalition and the Party for Socialism and Liberation. It also posted on X: 'The people of the United States don't want another forever war. The people of the United States want money for people's needs!' 'We need to show face and come out in mass and show our administration we're not going to be fooled,' said Ramsey Robinson of the Party for Socialism and Liberation in San Francisco. 'We are anti-war. We support the Iranian people. We want to prevent more death, more destruction.' Activist Deliliah Shenk from Colma said she joined the protest after learning that the US used 'bunker buster' bombs in the attack. 'This is absolutely insane. It's totally unconstitutional. This guy needs to be given the boot. In a big way,' she told ABC News. Some groups also used the protests to voice support for regime change in Iran, holding separate demonstrations on the issue. The ANSWER Coalition has planned a national 'Stop the War on Iran' march for June 28 in Washington, DC, with more local demonstrations scheduled throughout the week. Protests also occurred globally, including in Japan and Iran. Trump defended the decision to bomb three Iranian nuclear facilities and warned of further action. 'If peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill,' he said during a White House address. Vice President JD Vance also reinforced the administration's stance in an interview with ABC News, stating, 'If they decide they're going to attack our troops or build a nuclear weapon, we're going to respond to that with overwhelming force.' The strike drew mixed reactions from US Congress. While some Republican lawmakers praised the move, Democrats were sharp in their criticism. According to the World Socialist Web Site, a broader wave of anti-war protests has also erupted in elsewhere across the globe, including Europe and Asia. In Europe, tens of thousands have taken to the streets in cities like The Hague, London, and Brussels, condemning violence in Gaza and opposing their governments' support for US-Israeli policies. Large protests have also been reported in Morocco, South Africa, Somalia, and Portugal. Many of these demonstrations include calls for a ceasefire and critiques of imperialism and foreign intervention. Protests have also spread across Asia, including Japan and Iran, where citizens voiced opposition to war and regional escalation. Pakistan also witnessed demonstrations. In Karachi, thousands of people protested against the US and Israeli airstrikes on Iran, reported Reuters. Demonstrators symbolically walked over a large American flag with Trump's image, expressing strong opposition to the bombings authorised by Trump against Iranian nuclear sites.

Tulsi Gabbard snubbed by Trump after US spy chief defied her Iran advice? Pics from Situation room sparks buzz
Pictures showing President Donald Trump with his top national security officials in the Situation Room as US forces carried out precision strikes against the Iranian nuclear facilities have emerged. But one key is missing. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard — who the president had publicly split with this week over assessments on Iran's nuclear program, was not seen in dramatic pictures. Amid the growing speculation that US spy chief was snubbed by the President over her 'anti-war'comments, the White House has set the straight on her presence in the Situation Room as President Trump ordered strikes on Iran. ALSO READ: Trump rebukes Tulsi Gabbard again as he makes bold claim on Iran's nuclear ambitions Was Tulsi Gabbard present in Situation Room? The White House's Response Team on Sunday released new pictures from the high-profile meeting that showed Tulsi Gabbard sitting in the Situation Room as the U.S. struck three Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday night. 'President Trump's intelligence team in the White House Situation Room (June 21, 2025),' the White House captioned the photo, tagging Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, who was seated next to her. — RapidResponse47 (@RapidResponse47) The photo was released following a night of rampant speculation over Gabbard's involvement in the unprecedented attack. Earlier, reports claimed that Gabbard was noticeably absent from a series of photos from the Situation Room released by the White House shortly after the strike. White House sources confirmed to CBS and Fox News that Gabbard was present at the meeting with multiple top-level officers who were not in the photos, including Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. Live Events A White House official confirmed Gabbard was in the room Saturday and that she is a "key player" on President Donald Trump's national security team, reported Fox News. The photos showed Trump donning a MAGA hat as he was surrounded by Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, State Secretary Marco Rubio, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Dan Caine.

This was, however, contradicted by Trump recently, who said he didn't "care what she said". "You've always said that you don't believe Iran should be able to have a nuclear weapon," a reporter asked Trump while aboard Air Force One on June 16. "But how close do you personally think that they were to getting one?" "Very close," Trump responded. Then again Friday, Trump said Gabbard was "wrong" after she reported that Iran was not actively building a nuclear weapon. "My intelligence community is wrong," Trump said when asked about the intelligence community previously reporting that Iran was not actively building a nuclear weapon.

As critics picked apart Gabbard's past comments, the White House stressed to Fox Digital that Gabbard and Trump were closely aligned on Iran. A White House official told Fox News Digital on Tuesday afternoon that Trump and Gabbard are closely aligned and that the distinction being raised between Gabbard's March testimony and Trump's remarks that Iran is "very close" to getting a nuclear weapon is one without a difference. Gabbard took to social media and blasted the media for "intentionally" taking her March testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee "out of context." "The dishonest media is intentionally taking my testimony out of context and spreading fake news as a way to manufacture division," Gabbard said in a Friday post on X, accompanied by a video clip of her March testimony to Congress.

Meanwhile, Iran's underground enrichment site at Fordo was hit again Monday while Iran fired a salvo of missiles and drones at Israel and warned the United States that its military now has a 'free hand' to attack American targets in the wake of the Trump administration's massive strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. The Fordo facility was one of those hit in Sunday's attack, and it was struck again on Monday, Iranian state television reported. There was no immediate word on damage nor who launched the attack, though Israel said earlier it was conducting airstrikes on Iran.

Middle East conflict stalls 1 lakh tonnes of India's basmati rice exports to Iran
Nearly 1 lakh tonnes of basmati rice shipments bound for Iran have been stranded at Indian ports as the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict disrupts maritime logistics and insurance coverage, according to the All India Rice Exporters Association (AIREA) on Monday. Association president Satish Goyal said consignments amounting to roughly 1,00,000 tonnes, primarily stuck at the Kandla and Mundra ports in Gujarat, cannot be shipped due to a lack of vessels and insurance options for Iran-bound cargo amid escalating tensions in the region. "Iran accounts for 18–20 per cent of India's total basmati rice exports ," Goyal told PTI. With international conflicts not typically covered under standard marine insurance, exporters have been left in limbo, unable to fulfil shipments or secure payments. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Palencia : Qué compañía eléctrica tiene las facturas más baratas?
