Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Sisi pleaded with Trump to stop the war during a speech at an Egyptian energy conference on Monday. “I tell President Trump: Nobody can stop the war in our region in the gulf but you,” Sisi said. But the war with Iran has disrupted supplies, tripling the cost of imports, according to Egyptian officials. It was unclear whether the missile was launched by Iran, the Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah or Yemen’s Houthi rebels. AdvertisementDeaths from the conflict continue to rise, with 1,900 people killed in Iran, over 1,200 in Lebanon, 19 in Israel and 13 U.S. military members.
