UBAI, United Arab Emirates \u2014 U.S. President Donald Trump\u00a0on Friday appeared to rule out talks with Iran absent its \u201cunconditional surrender.\u201d Israeli warplanes\u00a0bombed Beirut and Tehran\u00a0as Iran launched more retaliatory strikes against Israel and Gulf countries on the seventh day of the war.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n<\/div>\n

The strikes in Lebanon were the heaviest since a 2024 ceasefire ended the last war between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah, who fired rockets at Israel in the opening days of the war now underway. More than 95,000 people have fled Beirut\u2019s suburbs and southern Lebanon after\u00a0sweeping Israeli evacuation warnings.<\/p>\n

The U.S. and Israel have battered Iran with strikes, targeting its military capabilities, leadership and nuclear program. The stated goals and timelines for the war\u00a0have repeatedly shifted, as the U.S. has at times suggested it seeks to topple Iran\u2019s government\u00a0or elevate new leadership from within.<\/p>\n

Russia has meanwhile\u00a0provided Iran with information\u00a0that could help Tehran strike the U.S. military, according to two officials familiar with U.S. intelligence on the matter.<\/p>\n

Qatar\u2019s energy minister Saad al-Kaabi warned in an interview with the Financial Times that the war could \u201cbring down the economies of the world,\u201d predicting a widespread shutdown of Gulf energy exports that could send oil to $150 a barrel.<\/p>\n

The price for a barrel of benchmark U.S. crude rose above $90 for the first time\u00a0in more than two years\u00a0Friday, with gas prices rising 34 cents in just one week to a national average of $3.32 per gallon, according to motor club AAA.<\/p>\n
