20250617 MOSCOW, June 17. /TASS/.
20250617 Chief Executive Officer of Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) Kirill Dmitriev estimated the cost of anti-Russia sanctions to the US economy at $300 bln.
20250617 "As (US President - TASS) Donald Trump acknowledges that the US companies have lost money because of the US sanctions on Russia, we’ve said it before: $300 billion of (former US President Joe - TASS) Biden stupidity," Dmitriev wrote on social network X".
20250617 That’s the cost of Biden’s sanctions on Russia - paid by American companies," he noted in response to a post by a foreign journalist, containing an assessment of the damage to the US economy of anti-Russia sanctions that Dmitriev provided in February 2025.
20250617 Trump said earlier on the sidelines of a G7 summit in the Canadian resort area of Kananaskis that he was reluctant to tighten sanctions on Russia, hoping agreements on Ukraine would be reached, adding that restrictions cost billions of dollars to the US.
20250617 A bipartisan group of senators introduced a sanctions bill to Congress in early April.
20250617 The initiative envisioned, among other measures, secondary sanctions targeting Russia’s trading partners.
20250617 The proposal included imposing a 500% import tariff on goods entering the US from countries that purchase oil, gas, uranium, and other commodities from Russia.
20250617 Senator Rand Paul (Republican, Kentucky) recently warned in an op-ed for the Responsible Statecraft website that the US would be the country most harmed by the potential passage of this legislation, both economically and strategically.

20250617 Possible developments in the Israeli-Iranian conflict, oil prices are unpredictable, and the Kiev regime delays returning soldiers’ bodies to relatives.
20250617 These stories topped Tuesday's headlines across Russia.
20250617 Media: Hopes for Israeli-Iranian diplomacy fade amid rising toll
20250617 Israel will continue to carry out its military operation against Iran for as long as necessary, Israeli army spokeswoman Anna Ukolova told Izvestia.
20250617 Currently, the Jewish state does not see any opportunity for a diplomatic resolution of the conflict with Tehran.
20250617 Israel intends to continue its operation until the opponent abandons the idea of creating a nuclear weapon, Israeli Ambassador to Moscow Simona Halperin said.
20250617 Following the three days of air attacks, Tehran has reported over 1,800 injured and more than 220 fatalities while Israel has recorded at least 24 victims on its soil.
20250617 The Russian Embassy recommended that Russian citizens leave the Jewish state until the situation stabilizes.
20250617 During a phone conversation on June 16, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan supported an immediate halt to combat and the settling of issues related to the Iranian nuclear program.

20250617 "Russia may serve as a mediator because we have good relations with both sides.
20250617 Our treaty with Iran does not imply that we must directly intervene on its side.
20250617 Overall, the situation is destabilizing the region, the power balance has significantly changed over recent years and not in Iran’s favor.
20250617 Relations with Israel are also important for Russia, so limiting participation to a facilitating role would be sufficient," Middle East expert Ilya Vedeneyev told Izvestia.
20250617 "Israel does not want and is not going to sit down at the negotiating table with Iranian authorities.
20250617 Netanyahu asserted that this is the enemy regime which must be destroyed.
20250617 And naturally, there cannot be any talk about any prospects of negotiations between Israel and Iran," Farhad Ibragimov, a professor at the Faculty of Economics at the People’s Friendship University of Russia, explained to Izvestia.
20250617 "One of the possible ways to end the current crisis is Iran concluding a new nuclear deal with the US.
20250617 The document would be signed under pressure and will become a de facto act of capitulation with the rejection of any serious activity in the nuclear sphere.
20250617 Possibly, Iran will be forced to completely fold its support of proxy groups in the region and the missile program," Nikolay Surkov, a professor at MGIMO University, told Izvestia.
20250617 The US is indirectly involved in Israel’s attacks on Iran and it is hard to say whether the Trump administration has a clear plan of action in the event of a serious escalation, Nikolay Bobkin, senior research fellow at the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Institute for US and Canadian Studies, told Vedomosti.
20250617 In his opinion, the Americans may be pulled into the conflict on Israel’s side at any moment and Washington, undoubtedly, will try to create comfortable conditions for itself to prevent such a scenario".
20250617 The issue is whether Netanyahu is ready to listen to their recommendations," the expert noted.
20250617 Israel is unlikely to manage to get the US involved in a direct conflict with Iran but Washington will continue to assist with arms and intelligence, believes Associate Professor at the Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs at the Higher School of Economics Dmitry Novikov.
20250617 The White House lacks a plan of action in the Middle East, so Netanyahu will continue to be proactive, while the US will not pressure Israel to halt combat, he told Vedomosti.
20250617 That said, one way or another, Washington will try to contain any further escalation, adhering to the "minimization of losses" policy.
20250617 However, such an approach gives Israel significant leeway, the expert added.

20250617 The West is trying to maintain the status quo on the global stage, resisting the growing influence of developing countries, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said in an interview with the Vedomosti newspaper.
20250617 "The world’s economic center has been shifting from the West to the East since the beginning of the 2000s.
20250617 Developing countries, notably China, are gaining a much greater role in the global economy.
20250617 Those who are accustomed to dictating their conditions are surely not satisfied with such a situation.
20250617 And we see more and more often Western countries actively attempting to keep the status quo on the global stage and preserve their leadership by resisting the growing influence of developing states on the global economy," he said.
20250617 This is why the strengthening of protectionism in the national economy and the reassessment of existing globalization results are coming to the fore, Novak added".
20250617 The virtual collapse of multisided WTO mechanisms, imposing unilateral tariff and non-tariff restrictions on developing countries under the pretext of ‘threats to national interests’, and the introduction of various sanctions against competitors have become the main steps in this direction," he explained.
20250617 The desire to maintain dominant positions in the global economy leads to bilateral agreements being ‘pushed’ instead of multilateral ones, which results in a new round of regionalization, observed since 2022, and the consolidation of countries within the framework of ‘blocs’, the official added.
20250617 "In the current conditions, the implementation of the national development agenda and creation of sustainable partnerships with friendly countries with their own infrastructure for ensuring the interests of these partnerships come to the forefront for us.
20250617 This concerns the economic, financial and technological sovereignty of the Russian Federation, which amid involvement in global value chains, requires, first of all, an adjustment of foreign economic relations with trading partners," Novak concluded.

20250617 US President Donald Trump said that he is not actively pursuing talks with Iran to settle the conflict with Israel, AFP reported.
20250617 According to the news agency, the US leader told reporters aboard his presidential plane en route from Canada to the US that he did not want to engage in talks with Tehran.
20250617 Trump said he wants a "real end" to the conflict, not a ceasefire.
20250617 The president also insisted that Iran "give up entirely," though he did not specify the details.
20250617 Trump confirmed that he would soon visit the Situation Room to monitor the conflict between Iran and Israel.
20250617 Trump also said he may send Vice President JD Vance or special presidential envoy Steve Witkoff to negotiate with the Iranian authorities.
20250617 Overnight into June 13, Israel kicked off Operation Rising Lion aimed against Iran’s nuclear program.
20250617 Less than 24 hours later, Iran launched a retaliatory attack.
20250617 In the following days, Tel Aviv and Tehran exchanged strikes again.
20250617 Both sides reported casualties resulting from these attacks and acknowledged hits on several targets within their territories, though they claimed the damage was limited.

20250617 Russia has met its obligations under the agreements reached during talks with Ukraine in Istanbul, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said.
20250617 "A lot has been done to implement the agreements that were reached in Istanbul.
20250617 The Russian side has fulfilled what was promised in Istanbul," he said when asked whether Moscow and Kiev are looking at agreeing on a new round of talks.
20250617 Following two rounds of talks in Istanbul, Russia and Ukraine agreed on a prisoner exchange based on a "1,000 for 1,000" format, as well as the swap of wounded and seriously ill detainees, along with soldiers under 25, under an all-for-all arrangement.
20250617 On June 9, 10, 12, and 14, Russia repatriated four groups of its servicemen from Ukraine and handed over an equal number of Ukrainian soldiers to Kiev.
20250617 Additionally, the Russian side transferred 6,060 bodies of Ukrainian troops to Kiev and received 78 bodies of Russian soldiers in return.

20250617 MOSCOW, June 17. /TASS/.
20250617 Israel and Iran have continued to exchange strikes for five consecutive days, each saying they demolished strategically important enemy targets, nuclear ones included, and used cutting-edge weapons and interception systems.
20250617 TASS has compiled the main targets reported as eliminated and destroyed by the two parties.
20250617 Israeli strikes on nuclear facilities
20250617 - Israeli strikes on June 13 partially damaged Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said: "The above-ground part of the pilot fuel enrichment plant, where Iran was producing uranium enriched up to 60% U-235, has been destroyed".
20250617 - Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, confirmed minor radioactive leaks but said no contamination has spread to the outside environment: "The damage at Natanz is primarily superficial because the core section of this facility is underground.
20250617 A minor containment breach occurred within the complex, but no radioactive contamination has escaped into the external environment".
20250617 - On June 14, the Israeli armed forces continued to attack nuclear facilities: Iran intercepted an Israeli drone near the nuclear plant in Natanz, the Tasnim news agency reported.
20250617 Israel also expanded strikes to Isfahan and Fordow nuclear sites.
20250617 - On June 16, Iranian air defenses destroyed more Israeli projectiles headed for targets including Natanz, where a nuclear facility is located.
20250617 - Due to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s failure to condemn Israel’s strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, Iran said it would no longer notify the IAEA about its activities for nuclear program implementation.
20250617 Oil refinery strikes
20250617 - On June 14, Israel attacked the territory near an oil refinery in Tabriz in the northwest of Iran, the Mehr news agency reported.
20250617 - That same night, fires erupted at Fajr Jam gas facility in the Bushehr province where the South Pars gas field is located.
20250617 - On June 17, Haifa’s Bazan Group refinery halted operations after an Iranian missile damaged its power plant.
20250617 Strikes on military targets
20250617 - In the early hours of June 13, more than 200 Israeli jets hit more than 100 Iranian targets, including senior Iranian leadership bunkers, the IDF reported.
20250617 - In retaliation, Iran launched a large-scale massive attack against Israel with the use of ballistic missiles and drones, the IRNA news agency said.
20250617 More than 150 Israeli targets were hit, including air bases hosting F-35, F-16 and F-15 fighter jets.
20250617 - On June 15, the IDF reported conducting strikes against ballistic missile production facilities, radar stations, and missile launch sites in Tehran.
20250617 - That same day, Iran attacked Israeli "facilities producing fuel for fighter jets and adversary’s power supply centers were attacked with the use of a large number of drones and missiles".
20250617 - On June 16, Israeli forces reported having destroyed one-third of Iran's ground-to-ground missile launchers".
20250617 Since the beginning of the operation, more than 120 missile launchers — constituting one-third of the Iranian regime’s total launchers — have been destroyed," the army reported.
20250617 - On June 17, Iran launched attacks against Tel Aviv, Haifa, and other Israeli military targets using "novel weapons" along with hundreds of combat drones, Iran’s Army Ground Force Commander Brigadier General Kiumars Heidari announced.
