Trump Threatens New Military Strike on Iran's Nuclear Facilities
In a social media post Monday evening, US President Donald Trump quoted Iran's foreign minister as saying that Iran's nuclear sites had been destroyed, confirming that they had been destroyed but adding that the US would attack "again, if necessary!"
Trump's remarks came after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Fox News that Tehran could not abandon its nuclear enrichment program even though it had been "severely damaged" by US attacks. He said, "The program has been halted because the damage is so severe and severe. But obviously, we cannot abandon enrichment because it is an achievement of our scientists. Now, more importantly, it is a matter of national pride."
On Truth Social, Trump responded to Araghchi's claim that the damage was severe, writing, "Of course it is, as I said, and we will do it again if necessary!"
In the same post, the US president attacked CNN, saying, "They should fire their lying reporter and apologize to me and the great pilots who carried out the strike on Iran's nuclear sites." Referring to the reporter who first reported on the strikes on Iran, who said the strikes had not achieved their goal, Trump added: "CNN is constantly losing audiences, and so is MSNBC."

Day one of 2025 Senate elections voting ends across Egypt
Voting for Egypt's 2025 Senate elections concluded for the day on Monday, with polling stations closing at 9 pm in all governorates. The election is taking place under full judicial supervision and heightened security, to ensure transparency and integrity. A total of 9,500 judges from the State Lawsuits Authority and the Administrative Prosecution Authority are overseeing the process, supervising 8,286 polling stations nationwide. High voter turnout was reported in several areas, particularly in the final hours of the day. According to the National Elections Authority (NEA), domestic voting will resume on Tuesday, 5 August, from 9am to 9pm for the second and final day. Egyptians abroad cast their votes on 1 and 2 August at 136 polling stations located in Egyptian embassies and consulates across 117 countries. Preliminary results from the first round are expected on 12 August. If no decisive outcome is reached, a runoff will be held both inside and outside Egypt. Final runoff results are scheduled for announcement on 4 September. According to the NEA, 428 candidates are competing for individual seats—186 independents and 242 affiliated with political parties. The Senate, Egypt's upper chamber of parliament, serves in a consultative capacity, while legislative authority remains with the House of Representatives. The 300-member Senate is composed of three equal segments: one-third elected through individual candidacy, one-third via closed party lists, and one-third appointed by the president. Women are guaranteed at least 10 percent of the seats. Members serve five-year terms. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
