Iran- Israel war: Tehran says over 1,060 killed in war with Israel; toll may rise as injuries mount
The Iranian government on Tuesday announced that at least 1,060 people have died in its war with Israel and warned that more deaths may take place.
Saeed Ohadi, the head of Iran's Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs, revealed the number in an interview with Iranian state television late Monday.
Ohadi said the number of deaths may rise to 1,100, as many people were badly injured.
Tehran tried to show that the damages caused by Israel's 12-day attack were not that serious, even though the attacks badly damaged its air defences, military bases, and nuclear sites.
Since the ceasefire, Iran has gradually admitted the extent of the destruction but hasn't revealed how much military equipment it lost.
The Washington-based Human Rights Activists group has reported that 1,190 people have died in the unrest in Iran, including 435 members of the security forces and 436 civilians. They also said that 4,475 people were injured in the attacks.

'We'll pay $200M': Columbia announces deal with Trump to settle dispute over anti-Semitism claims
Columbia University announced that it would pay over $200 million to the US government as part of a sweeping settlement made public on July 23. The agreement came after months of tension with the Trump administration, which had accused the university of failing to adequately address antisemitism during pro-Palestinian campus protests related to the war in Gaza. In March, the administration had penalised Columbia by cancelling $400 million in federal funding, claiming that its response to alleged harassment of Jewish and Israeli community members was insufficient.

Hamas Replies To Latest Gaza Truce Proposal, Seeks Amendments
Hamas confirmed on Thursday that it has responded to an Israeli proposal for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, after more than two weeks of indirect talks in Qatar have failed to yield a truce. "Hamas has just submitted its response and that of the Palestinian factions to the ceasefire proposal to the mediators," the Palestinian militant group said in a statement on Telegram. The response included proposed amendments to clauses on the entry of aid, maps of areas from which the Israeli army should withdraw, and guarantees on securing a permanent end to the war, according to a Palestinian source familiar with ongoing talks in Doha. Negotiators from both sides have been holding indirect talks in Doha with mediators in an attempt to reach an agreement on a truce deal that would see the release of Israeli hostages. Of the 251 hostages taken during Hamas's 2023 attack, 49 are still being held in Gaza, including 27 the Israeli military says are dead. But the talks have dragged on for more than two weeks without a breakthrough, with each side blaming the other for refusing to budge on their key demands. For Israel, dismantling Hamas's military and governing capabilities is non-negotiable, while Hamas demands firm guarantees on a lasting truce, a full withdrawal of Israeli troops and the free flow of aid into Gaza. Israeli government spokesman David Mencer on Wednesday accused Hamas of obstructing talks. "Israel has agreed to the Qatari proposal and the updated (US special envoy Steve) Witkoff proposal, it is Hamas that is refusing," Mencer told reporters, adding that Israel's negotiating team was still in Doha and talks were ongoing. The United States said Witkoff will head to Europe this week for talks on a possible ceasefire and an aid corridor. More than 100 aid organisations warned on Wednesday that "mass starvation" was spreading in Gaza.

Ex-UK Labour leader Corbyn says hes starting new left-wing party
Agency: PTI Last Updated: London, Jul 24 (AP) Former British Labour Party leader Jermy Corbyn said Thursday he is forming a new left-leaning political party to advocate 'mass redistribution of wealth and power" and take on his former colleagues at the ballot box. The new formation has a website — — but does not yet have a name. 'It's your party," Corbyn said. 'We're going to decide (a name) when we've had all the responses, and so far the response rate has been massive." Corbyn said he hoped the new party would have its inaugural conference in the fall. Corbyn, 76, led Labour to election defeats in 2017 and 2019, but the veteran socialist campaigner remains popular with many grassroots supporters. and the new party has the potential to further fragment British politics. The long-dominant Labour and Conservative parties now have challengers on both left and right, including the environmentalist Green Party and hard-right Reform UK. Plans for a new party emerged earlier this month when lawmaker Zarah Sultana, who has been suspended from Labour for voting against the government, said she would 'co-lead the founding of a new party" with Corbyn. At the time, Corbyn did not confirm the news. On Thursday he denied the party launch had been messy, saying the process was 'democratic, it's grassroots and it's open". A longtime supporter of the Palestinians and critic of Israel, Corbyn was suspended from Labour in 2020 after Britain's equalities watchdog found anti-Jewish prejudice had been allowed to spread within Labour while he was leader. He was suspended after failing to fully accept the findings, claiming opponents had exaggerated the scale of antisemitism in Labour for 'political reasons". Corbyn was reelected to Parliament last year as an independent. Prime Minister Keir Starmer succeeded Corbyn as Labour leader in 2020 and dragged the party back toward the political centre ground. He dropped Corbyn's opposition to Britain's nuclear weapons, strongly backed sending weapons to Ukraine and stressed the party's commitment to balancing the books. Starmer won a landslide election victory a year ago, but has struggled to maintain unity among Labour lawmakers as the government struggles to get a sluggish economy growing and invest in overstretched public services. He has been forced into a series of U-turns by his own lawmakers, including one on welfare reform that left his authority severely dented.
