    It’s difficult to provide an exact figure for how many millions of dollars Israel is currently spending to stop Iranian missile attacks, as these costs are ongoing and fluctuate based on the intensity of attacks and defensive operations. However, here’s what we know about the costs involved:
    * High Cost of Interceptors: Israel’s multi-layered air defense system (Iron Dome, David’s Sling, Arrow) relies on expensive interceptor missiles.
    * Iron Dome: Each interceptor missile costs approximately $50,000.
    * David’s Sling and Arrow: These systems, designed for medium and long-range missiles, have interceptors that can cost over $2 million each, with some estimates for Arrow interceptors going up to $3.5 million.
    * Significant Costs for Barrages: When Iran launches large barrages of missiles and drones, the defensive costs can be substantial. For example, some reports indicate that Israel spent over $1 billion in a single night to defend against a major Iranian attack in April 2024. Other estimates for specific Iranian attacks put Israel’s defense costs in the range of $360 million to $630 million.
    * Ongoing Development and Maintenance: Beyond intercepting attacks, Israel also spends billions of dollars annually on developing, maintaining, and upgrading its sophisticated air defense systems. The US has also invested significantly, providing billions in funding for these projects.
    * Economic Disparity: A key aspect of this “economic warfare” is that the interceptor missiles used by Israel are significantly more expensive than the drones and missiles often launched by Iran or its proxies. This creates a financial strain on Israel, as they must expend high-cost munitions to counter relatively cheaper threats.
    While a precise daily or weekly cost is not publicly available, it’s clear that defending against Iranian missile attacks requires a multi-million, and often multi-billion, dollar investment from Israel, with substantial support from the United States.

    As of Sunday, June 15, 2025, the tensions between Iran and Israel have escalated significantly, marking the third day of overt conflict. Here’s a summary of what we know:
    Initiation of Conflict:
    * Friday, June 13, 2025: Israel launched major airstrikes on Iran, codenamed “Operation Rising Lion.” These attacks targeted Iran’s nuclear facilities, military installations, and reportedly killed several top Iranian military leaders and nuclear scientists, including IRGC commander Hossein Salami and Major General Mohammad Bagheri. Explosions were reported in Tehran and near nuclear sites like Natanz and Esfahan. Israel stated its aim was to “degrade, destroy, and remove the threat” of Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
    * Friday, June 13, 2025 (Evening): Iran quickly retaliated with a large-scale attack on Israel, launching over 150 ballistic missiles and more than 100 drones, codenamed “Operation True Promise III.”
    Escalation and Continued Strikes:
    * Saturday, June 14, 2025: Both sides continued their strikes. Israel expanded its targets to include Iran’s energy industry, while Iranian missile and drone attacks on Israel continued, reportedly hitting cities like Haifa and Tel Aviv.
    * Sunday, June 15, 2025: The exchange of strikes has continued for a third day. Israel has unleashed further airstrikes across Iran, threatening greater force. Some Iranian missiles have reportedly evaded Israeli air defenses and struck buildings in central Israel. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed to have targeted Israel’s fuel infrastructure in response to Israeli strikes on its oil facilities.
    Casualties and Damages:
    * Iran: Iranian media has reported significant casualties, with unofficial tolls on Saturday stating 78 people killed and 329 injured in Tehran alone. Al Jazeera reports at least 80 people killed and 800 wounded across Iran over the past two days, including 20 children and nine nuclear scientists. Israeli strikes have caused fires at oil storage facilities in Tehran and other areas.
    * Israel: Iran’s retaliatory strikes have also caused casualties. Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue service reported at least 10 people killed overnight and into Sunday, bringing Israel’s total death toll to 13. Reports indicate strikes hitting residential areas, with one attack in Bat Yam (a Tel Aviv suburb) killing at least six people, including two children, and wounding 180.
    International Reaction:
    * The United Nations Security Council held a meeting on Friday, June 13, to discuss the rising tensions.
    * Calls for de-escalation are mounting from world leaders.
    * The conflict has closed Israel’s main international airport and airspace for a third day.
    Context and Broader Implications:
    * This direct military confrontation marks a significant escalation in the long-standing “shadow war” between Israel and Iran, which previously involved proxy conflicts, cyberattacks, and targeted assassinations.
    * The immediate catalyst was Israel’s initial strikes, which it justified by claiming Iran was close to developing a nuclear weapon, a day after the UN nuclear watchdog declared Iran wasn’t complying with nonproliferation agreements. Iran responded by stating it would create a new uranium enrichment facility.
    * Experts are concerned about the potential for this conflict to escalate into a wider regional war, with implications for global energy markets.
    * There are reports of discussions regarding regime change as a potential Israeli goal.

    ایک نئی تحقیق میں بتایا گیا ہے کہ یورپ، چین اور امریکا کو برقی گاڑیوں کے لیے لیتھیئم کی مقامی سطح پر پیداوار میں مشکلات کا سامنا کرنا پڑے گا۔

    شینگھائی کی ایسٹ چائنا نارمل یونیورسٹی اور سوئیڈن کی لُنڈ یونیورسٹی کے محققین نے اس متوقع بحران کی نشان دہی کی جو ممکنہ طور پر موسمیاتی تبدیلی اور توانائی کے لیے تعین کیے گئے اہداف کے حصول میں مزید تاخیر کا سبب ہو سکتا ہے۔

    تحقیق میں خبردار کیا گیا کہ 2030 تک مقامی سطح پر لیتھیئم کی پیداوار کو 10 گُنا تک بڑھا دینے کے باوجود تیزی سے بڑھتی طلب کو بغیر کسی ٹیکنالوجیکل جدت یا درآمدات میں اضافے کے پورا نہیں کیا جا سکے گا۔

    عام طور پر کان کنی سے حاصل کیا جانے والا لیتھیئم برقی گاڑیوں کی بیٹریوں کے لیے بہت اہم ہوتا ہے۔ روایتی گاڑیوں سے ہونے والے کاربن اخراج میں کمی کے لیے برقی گاڑیوں کو بہت اہم دی جا رہی ہے، جس کے سبب یورپ، امرکا اور چین میں ان کی مانگ میں اضافہ ہو رہا ہے۔

    There can be several reasons why lights might go out during an IPL match in India. Recently, one prominent reason has been security concerns related to military tensions.

    Here’s a breakdown of possible causes:

    • Security Concerns and Military Tensions: In recent times, especially during the IPL 2025 season, a match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala was called off due to a power outage. While initially thought to be a floodlight malfunction, it was later confirmed to be part of a wider blackout due to heightened security concerns and air raid alerts in areas near the India-Pakistan border. This led to the evacuation of players and spectators for their safety. There were even claims by Pakistan’s Defence Minister of their “cyber warriors” hacking floodlight systems, though this claim has been met with skepticism. Such situations highlight how geopolitical tensions can directly impact events like the IPL.

    • Technical Malfunctions: This is a common cause for power outages in any large venue. It could be due to:

      • Floodlight failure: A specific issue with the stadium’s floodlight system, such as a circuit overload or equipment malfunction.
      • Generator issues: Most stadiums have backup generators, but if there’s a problem with their operation or fuel supply, it can lead to a blackout.
      • DRS (Decision Review System) issues: Sometimes, a power glitch might specifically affect the DRS system, making it unavailable for a few overs, even if the main lights are on.

    • Adverse Weather Conditions: Severe weather events like heavy rains or strong winds can disrupt power supply to the stadium, leading to temporary blackouts or even match delays/cancellations.

    • Local Power Grid Problems: While stadiums often have their own power arrangements, they can still be affected by issues with the broader local electricity grid, leading to a general power outage in the area that extends to the stadium.

    In the specific case of the Dharamsala match in IPL 2025, the power outage was a direct consequence of security measures taken in response to escalating cross-border tensions, leading to a wider blackout in the region.

    Damage and Impact:
    * Direct Hits: Several missiles have directly impacted civilian population centers in central Israel, causing severe damage.
    * Residential Buildings: Homes and residential buildings have sustained significant damage, with some being reduced to rubble or having their fronts torn away.
    * Infrastructure: Roads and streets in central Israeli cities have experienced substantial damage.
    * Widespread Effects: Explosions have been heard consistently across central Israel, including in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Rishon Lezion, Ramat Gan, and Bat Yam. Shrapnel falls have been reported in the Dan, Central, and Jerusalem districts, leading to damage and fires in open areas.
    * Disruption: Air raid sirens have blared, sending residents rushing to shelters. Israel’s main international airport was reported to be closed until further notice.
    Response:
    * Emergency Services: Magen David Adom (Israel’s emergency medical service) and Fire and Rescue Authority have been actively responding to incidents, providing aid to the wounded and conducting search and rescue operations.
    * Iron Dome: While Israel’s Iron Dome defense system has intercepted many projectiles, several Iranian missiles have reportedly penetrated it and caused damage.
    The situation remains highly volatile, with ongoing tensions and retaliatory actions between Israel and Iran.

    Given the current time (Friday, June 13, 2025, 5:13:11 AM +03), the provided search results are from yesterday, Saturday, June 14, 2025. Therefore, the information is not directly “in the last two hours” from the current timestamp. However, I can summarize the events from the most recent reports available, which generally cover developments up to late yesterday (Saturday).
    Here’s a summary of the situation based on the provided results, covering the most recent publicly available information:
    * Continued Escalation: Both Israel and Iran have continued to exchange missile and air strikes, marking a significant escalation in their conflict.
    * Iranian Missile Barrages: Iran launched new waves of missiles at Israel on Saturday night, local time, with explosions reported over parts of Israel, including Tel Aviv. Iranian state television announced these latest barrages, claiming to target fighter jet fuel production facilities and energy supply centers.
    * Israeli Strikes on Iran: Israel continued its “blistering attacks” on Iranian targets. These reportedly included Iran’s Defense Ministry headquarters in Tehran, sites associated with Iran’s nuclear program (such as the main nuclear enrichment facility in Natanz and a nuclear site in Isfahan), and civilian and energy infrastructure, including an oil facility in Tehran.
    * Casualties: Both sides have reported casualties. Iran’s state media reported at least 80 people killed and over 320 injured in Israeli strikes, including 20 children and nine nuclear scientists. In Israel, at least three people were killed and dozens wounded by Iranian missiles, with reports of homes destroyed in areas like Tel Aviv and Rishon Lezion.
    * International Reactions: World leaders, including US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, have expressed concern and urged de-escalation. Some international diplomatic efforts, such as previously scheduled US-Iran nuclear talks, have been cancelled.
    * Threats and Warnings: Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that “Tehran will burn” if Iranian retaliatory strikes continue. Iran, in turn, reportedly warned the UK, US, and France that their regional bases would be targeted if they assisted in defending Israel.
    * Focus on Nuclear Program: Israel’s strikes have heavily targeted Iran’s nuclear facilities, aiming to prevent uranium enrichment beyond civilian use and hinder Iran’s nuclear weapons project.
    It is crucial to remember that this information is based on reports from yesterday, June 14, 2025, and the situation is highly fluid. For the very latest updates in the last two hours from the current time, one would need real-time news feeds.
