Iran and Ceasefire
U.S. escalates strikes on Iran: The U.S. military escalated its assault on Iran late Thursday and early Friday, hitting targets across the country, including civilian infrastructure, for the sixth straight night.
The U.S. struck at least six bridges, a railway junction, an airport, and a telecommunications tower in the country’s south, according to officials in the Hormozgan province. One of these attacks, on the Bandar-e-Khamir bridge, killed at least seven and wounded nine others, according to Fars News agency.
Iran’s energy ministry confirmed damage to power lines in the area of Bandar Abbas and said that electricity had been restored in some areas and that the country’s grid had been stabilized.
The U.S. also struck a maritime control tower in the southern city of Chabahar for a third time in a week, according to Iran’s Mehr news agency.
The U.S. struck Qeshm Island on Thursday evening, Iranian media confirmed.
Explosions were reported across other southern and southwestern sites, including Sirik and Bushehr, and farther west in the oil-rich Khuzestan province, Ahvaz, Behbahan, Hamidiyeh, Susangerd, and the Karoun area. Explosions were also heard in the Lorestan province, and civilian infrastructure was reportedly damaged in the northern province of Semnan.
Additionally, CENTCOM claimed that U.S. Marines boarded the tanker M/T Wen Yao in the Gulf of Oman as part of Washington’s renewed naval blockade of Iran, which it claims had redirected three commercial vessels and disabled one that refused to comply.
Iranian Health Ministry spokesperson Hossein Kermanpour said on X that renewed U.S. airstrikes have killed at least 38 people and wounded more than 400 so far in July.
Iran widens its retaliatory attacks: Iran launched attacks on U.S. military installations in the Gulf, hitting targets in Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain. It also widened its range of targets, hitting locations in Jordan, Syria, and Iraq.
Iran launched Arash attack drones at the Isa Air Base in Bahrain, its army reported, targeting U.S. helicopters and reconnaissance aircraft.
Iran attacked a base in Kuwait, claiming to have targeted its defensive radar capacities, weapons depot, HIMARS launchers, and missile stockpile. Kuwait said Friday one of its power generation and water desalination plants was hit in what it called a “sinful Iranian attack,” sparking a fire and damaging the facility and several electricity generation units.
Iranian missiles struck Qatar, with debris from one attack injuring a child, according to the country’s Interior Ministry. The country’s Defense Ministry reported multiple missile interceptions on Thursday and Friday, and condemned Iran for its “sinful aggression.” Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claimed to have destroyed a “long-range radar system” and several military targets in an attack on the U.S. Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard also claimed that it carried out a “surprise attack” on a U.S.-led coalition special operations center in Al-Tanf, southern Syria. The U.S. announced that it had left Al-Tanf in February, and it is not clear whether any U.S. personnel were at the facility at the time of the attack.
The Iranian navy reported early on Friday that it had targeted a maritime-control radar installation on Oman’s As Salamah islands and air-control radar in Oman’s Ghanam region.
Iraqi authorities said five drones struck the city of Erbil on Thursday, adding that two of these crashed and one was shot down. Satellite imagery published by an open-source intelligence account suggests that an Iranian Shahed drone hit a U.S. Patriot missile launcher in the city, though no official confirmation has been issued and Iran’s military had not claimed responsibility for the attack.
Satellite imagery published on Thursday by the mapping firm Soar appeared to contradict earlier claims by the UAE that a fire at the Zayed Military City was on July 13 “accidental,” potentially adding to the list of confirmed Iranian strikes over the course of the last week.
Iran’s ambassador condemns U.S. attacks on civilian infrastructure as “war crimes”: Amir Saeid Iravani, Iran’s UN ambassador, condemned U.S. attacks on Iranian civilian infrastructure as “acts of aggression” and “war crimes” in a letter to the UN Secretary-General and the Security Council, accusing Washington of deliberately and illegally striking civilian targets.
Oil market burning through its emergency stocks, threatening wider shock: Fatih Birol, the chief of the United States Energy Information Agency, warned Bloomberg about the danger of rising energy prices, telling the outlet the danger is “not months. It is weeks.”
IEA chief Fatih Birol reported that the U.S.’s historic 400-million-barrel emergency release helped push barrel prices down by $20.
Birol also told Bloomberg that higher petroleum production from the U.S., Brazil, and Kazakhstan had also limited the shock, as did draws from the U.S.’s reserves, and Saudi and Emirati efforts to bypass Hormuz. But, he warned, none of these reprieves were “endless.”
The U.S. EIA has reported crude stocks at Oklahoma’s Cushing facility fell below 20 million barrels in June and may continue to be near “tank bottoms,” the minimum oil that must remain in tanks and pipelines for pumps to work.
The analytics firm Kpler separately reported on Thursday that oil transit through the Strait of Hormuz had fallen by 62% to 4.1 million barrels a day, claiming that a full shutdown had been prevented by the use of alternate export routes and softer Chinese demand for petroleum, roughly corresponding to a similar report by Goldman Sachs analysts.
The firm reported only eight crossings through the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, seven of which used the northern Iranian corridor.
Vance responds to Drop Site’s reporting: Vice President JD Vance denied a Thursday report from Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill and Ryan Grim, in which a senior Iranian official said that Tehran sent Vance a private message warning that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were exploiting their access to U.S.-Iran negotiations for financial gain.
“This is completely bogus. I never received a message like this,” Vance wrote, calling the allegation that they traded on insider information “absurd,” adding that “no one has done more” than Kushner and Witkoff “to work towards peace and prosperity” in the Middle East.
Drop Site’s full report on Iran’s warning about Witkoff and Kushner is available here.
Lebanon
Israel continues violating Lebanon ceasefire with overnight attacks:
Israeli forces raiding the town of Haris in the Tyre (Sour) district, trapped several civilians in an overnight attack, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency, prompting these civilians to appeal to the Lebanese Army for evacuation.
Also in Tyre, an Israeli drone struck the Mansouri area and the Naqoura road, wounding a Syrian national.
Israeli artillery also shelled the towns of Baraachit and Hadatha in the Bint Jbeil district, where Israeli forces carried out a large-scale demolition.
Palestine
Israel kills 14 Palestinians in attacks on Gaza: Israel killed 14 Palestinians and wounded at least 37 in separate attacks in Gaza on Friday, Al Jazeera reported.
At least eight Palestinians were killed and 20 others wounded after an Israeli drone struck a group of Palestinians in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, according to Gaza-based Safa News Agency. The strike targeted the gathering as the funeral procession of a Palestinian who had been killed earlier passed through the area.
Israel struck an apartment building in Gaza City, killing one and wounding others.
In northern Gaza, an Israeli drone strike in Beit Lahia killed a 52-year-old woman.
One person was also killed and three others injured after an Israeli strike hit a makeshift shelter housing displaced people, west of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
Israel pushes its “Yellow Line” to Gaza’s main north-south artery: Israeli forces entered Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood under heavy gunfire, killing one Palestinian, wounding three others, destroying homes and shops, and forcing families to flee, according to reporting from Drop Site contributor Mohamed Ahmed.
By morning, they had pushed the “yellow line,” the boundary marking the edge of Israeli military control, in violation of the October 2025 agreement, to Salah al-Din Road—the 45-kilometer artery connecting northern and southern Gaza and passing through every governorate.
A witness described quadcopters and shelling surrounding displaced families overnight, forcing women to sleep in the street. “We don’t know where to flee to,” he said.
Separately, on Thursday, senior military officials reportedly told Israel’s Security Cabinet that Israel now controls between 67% and 70% of the Gaza Strip, according to the Jerusalem Post.
Israeli attacks in Gaza at highest level since October “ceasefire,” conflict monitor reports: Israeli attacks on Gaza reached their highest level since the October 2025 agreement, according to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) via Reuters.
ACLED recorded more than 40 Israeli air and drone strikes in June—the highest monthly total since the truce.
Israeli guards beat Palestinian physician and denied him medical care: Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya told his lawyers on July 14 that Israeli prison guards beat him again following a previous legal visit on July 2, adding that he remains in solitary confinement in an underground prison and has been denied medical care for an injury to his right eye, according to Physicians for Human Rights Israel.
“Do everything possible to get me out of this place,” Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya told his lawyers, noting the discontinuation of his pain medication and a refusal to give him the results of a recently conducted X-ray.
During the visit, Abu Safiya was concealed from his lawyers behind an opaque partition and forced to communicate by telephone while masked prison guards remained close enough to hear the conversation.
Abu Safiya, the former director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, has been imprisoned without charge or trial since December 2024 after refusing to abandon his patients.
Gaza flotilla participant files rape complaint against Israeli prison guards: Anna Liedtke, a 25-year-old activist aboard the Gaza-bound aid Freedom Flotilla, filed a criminal complaint in Israel accusing female guards at Givon Prison of raping her during a forced strip search, according to The Guardian.
Liedtke alleges guards forced her to her knees, restrained her and covered her mouth to stop her screams, while male guards watched and laughed. Israeli forces detained Liedtke after seizing her Gaza-bound aid ship in international waters on October 8, 2025, and held her for five days.
Liedtke said the abuse was intended to intimidate activists into abandoning solidarity with Palestinians, adding that her assault was “way, way less than what Palestinian prisoners experience.”
More than a dozen other flotilla activists have also reported sexual assault. In May, Drop Site published Liedtke’s first-person account, co-authored with journalist Noa Avishag Schnall, detailing their abduction and abuse. Read here.
Channel 14 report shows Israeli officials praising Gaza’s destruction and displacement of Palestinians: A new report by Israel’s Channel 14 features senior Israeli government and military officials openly celebrating the destruction of large parts of Gaza and the mass killing and displacement of Palestinians.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said he felt “good” seeing neighborhoods such as Jabaliya and Shuja’iyya “destroyed” and “in ruins,” describing the devastation as the result of a deliberate policy. He added that Israeli forces would not withdraw from the so-called “yellow line” unless Hamas disarms, saying: “And even after that, we will remain in Gaza!”
Deputy Israeli military chief Maj. Gen. Tamir Yadai described the situation as a “victory,” citing Israel’s control of 65% of Gaza, claiming that “70,000 terrorists” had been killed.
Al Jazeera: Undercover investigation exposes UK and Canadian funding of illegal Israeli settlements: An undercover investigation by Al-Jazeera says it has uncovered evidence that charities and donors in the United Kingdom and Canada are helping channel tax-deductible donations to Israeli settler organizations in the occupied West Bank, despite laws prohibiting charitable funds from supporting illegal settlements.
Posing as prospective donors, Al Jazeera’s undercover reporters were allegedly told by pro-settler organisations that donations could be routed through registered charities before being used to expand settlements, campaign for the demolition of Palestinian homes, and provide military-grade equipment, including drones, to settlers.

Marco Rubio launches major push against “far-left terrorists,” says new designations are coming soon: Speaking at a conference attended by officials from more than 60 countries, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the U.S. is building an “international counterterrorism coalition” focused on transnational far-left networks, alleging links to Iranian proxies and Cuba. Rubio promised further terrorist designations and coordinated intelligence, law enforcement, and financial action.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the government is examining nonprofits and charities for alleged illicit financing, foreign influence, and tax-exempt abuse, while claiming a “new operational alliance” between “international Marxism and radical Islamic movements.”
Homeland Security Adviser Stephen Miller said NSPM-7 would be used to debank, defund, and disrupt left-wing groups, dismissing civil-liberties objections and calling them “enemies of civilization.”
The State Department announced a new visa restriction policy targeting foreign nationals it says support or enable “far-left terrorist” and aligned groups, including through incitement, financing, recruitment, logistical support, criminal activity, or economic sabotage.
It also released new visa rules for foreign students, journalists, and cultural exchange visitors. Student and cultural exchange visas would be limited to four years. Visas for foreign journalists will be cut down from five years to 240 days, and just 90 days for Chinese journalists.
Trump uses televised address to allege Chinese interference in 2020 election: In a primetime address on Thursday evening, President Trump made a series of unsubstantiated claims about the 2020 election and claimed he was “declassifying” additional documents that would corroborate what he called “shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure.”
Several networks, including ABC and NBC, refused to carry the speech (but streamed it online), which Trump criticized during his remarks, calling it “part of a plot.”
He also addressed the war in Iran, saying that the U.S. was “winning big” and promising his audience that they would “see the fruits of that labor very, very shortly.”
ICE agent who killed man in Maine accused of violent, troubled past: The ICE agent who shot and killed 26-year-old Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine, on Monday has been identified as David Michael Brouillette, 37, a former Maine law enforcement officer and Army veteran, the Portland Press Herald reported.
His ex-wife, Ashley Brouillette, said he called her and admitted to the shooting and asked her to “lie for him.”
Ashley Brouillette also alleged that her ex-husband was abusive during their relationship and that she had previously reported concerns about his mental health to his military superiors. DHS has refused to confirm his identity.
Rep. Ilhan Omar pushes U.S. to join ICC: Rep. Ilhan Omar introduced a resolution on Thursday urging the United States to join the International Criminal Court, The Guardian reports, marking the first congressional pushback against Rubio’s pledge to “systematically disable” the war crimes tribunal.
“The ICC is a crucial tool for justice in places where victims have nowhere else to turn,” Omar said. “No one is above the law.”
The resolution comes after the Trump administration imposed waves of sanctions on the court and its officials over its investigations into Israeli war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank. 125 countries recognize the ICC.
Court-appointed UAW monitor pressures Fain over Gaza: The Detroit News reported on Thursday that Neil Barofsky, the court-appointed monitor overseeing the United Auto Workers, had bullied UAW President Shawn Fain over the union’s call for a Gaza ceasefire in 2023.
Drop Site obtained and authenticated a recording of this conversation, which contradicts several claims Barofsky made about the call’s contents.
In the December 2023 phone call, Neil Barofsky told Fain that his statement invoking the union’s history against fascism and apartheid “potentially cross[ed] the line into the area of antisemitism” by drawing a parallel to Israel’s conduct.
Fain, now under a federal grand jury investigation over allegations of corruption and retaliation following a highly critical report issued by the union’s federal monitor, has described Barofsky’s conduct as driven by a “personal vendetta” stemming from a “political grudge” Barofsky holds.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who represents a district covering much of the Detroit area, has called on Barofsky to resign.
A full transcript of the call and more about the dispute is available in the latest from Ryan Grim for Drop Site here.
Trump Media to charge for quicker access to Truth Social posts: Trump Media & Technology Group unveiled “Truth API,” a licensed data feed set to launch August 1 that will give banks and trading firms “the fastest access” to posts from the platform’s 10 most influential accounts, including President Donald Trump’s, the company announced on Thursday.
The product is reportedly being marketed towards algorithmic trading firms and was designed, according to its interim CEO, to provide the company with a new revenue stream.
Trump has made several announcements on Truth Social that have dramatically moved the markets, including announcements about the ongoing war against Iran and the announcement of tariffs on “Liberation Day.”
White House teleprompter operator probed for insider betting on speeches: Gabriel Perez, President Trump’s teleprompter operator since 2016, is in talks with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to settle allegations that he used inside knowledge of Trump’s speeches to win more than $100,000 betting on the prediction market Kalshi, ABC News reported on Thursday.
Trump placed Perez on unpaid administrative leave after Kalshi flagged the suspicious trading activity to regulators, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
War official could profit heavily from suit against the Pentagon: Deputy Secretary of War Stephen Feinberg, who helped found the private-equity giant Cerberus, could stand to benefit tremendously from a lawsuit filed by the satellite firm Ligado Networks, which is a major recipient of Cerberus backing, against the Pentagon, according to a new investigation from The American Prospect.
Ligado Networks is suing the Department of War for $40 billion over a satellite spectrum dispute, one of the largest in American history.
Feinberg’s Cerberus holdings are in trusts controlled by his children, Sen. Elizabeth Warren has pointed out, and, in a 2026 ethics statement, Feinberg said he would continue contracting with the firm he helped found for “administrative services.”

Armed assailants seize chemical tanker off Yemen coast: Armed assailants boarded and took control of the chemical tanker Asana off Yemen’s southern coast in the Gulf of Aden on Friday, in an incident maritime security sources believe is linked to Somali piracy rather than Yemen’s Houthi militia, Reuters reported.
The vessel issued a distress call around 10 a.m. local time and had no armed security team aboard, according to British maritime security group Ambrey.
The circumstances of the takeover and the current status of the crew and the vessel were unclear as of Friday morning. The EU’s Aspides naval mission has been tasked with assisting in recovery efforts, and a South Korean warship remains in the area.
Nigeria completes evacuation of 1,490 citizens from South Africa: Nigeria’s foreign ministry said Thursday it has completed the voluntary evacuation of 1,490 citizens from South Africa following xenophobic attacks, according to Reuters.

Russian attacks on Ukraine kill 4: Russian attacks on Ukraine overnight killed four people and wounded others, the Associated Press reports, with two killed in a strike on Odesa and 10 wounded and two others killed in Zaporizhzhia, where five additional people were injured. One of the people killed in Odesa was a woman walking her children, Ukrainian officials said, noting that her children survived the attack.
Three civilians were killed and seven were injured in Russian-occupied Kherson, Russian authorities relayed.
The strikes come amid a major shakeup in Ukraine’s leadership: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced his intention to replace Mykhailo Fedorov as the country’s defense minister with Yevhen Khmara, the head of Ukraine’s security services. Fedorov’s ouster sparked protests in Kyiv on Thursday.

The military also said it recaptured the Blue Nile town of Kurmuk after intense fighting and pledged that operations would continue across all fronts “until security and stability are restored.”
U.S. approves nearly $2 billion weapons sale to Saudi Arabia: The State Department approved a potential $1.96 billion weapons sale to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, including up to 20,000 Advanced Precision Kill Weapon Systems, aimed at bolstering the kingdom’s air defenses as the U.S.-Israel war on Iran re-escalates, Al Jazeera reported.
The sale, with BAE Systems as principal contractor, comes as Saudi Arabia faces potential renewed conflict with Yemen’s Houthis, who threatened to target Saudi oil facilities if Riyadh joins what they called “comprehensive aggression” against Yemen.
China condemns UK nationalization of British Steel: China’s Ministry of Commerce said Friday that the UK’s nationalization of British Steel, formalized Thursday, “severely undermined” Chinese companies’ confidence in investing in Britain, calling the move a “forcible” takeover that disregarded former owner Jingye’s contributions.
Jingye, one of China’s biggest companies, bought British Steel for $94 million in 2020 and, by 2025, reported daily losses of $942,000 on the company.
The British government began its nationalization in response to concerns that Jingye would begin shutting down British Steel’s Scunthorpe Blast furnaces, and has promised to appoint an independent valuer to “assess whether any compensation is payable” to Jingye.
Kim Jong Un meets senior Chinese official, pledges deeper ties: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un met Thursday with Wang Huning, China’s fourth-highest-ranked official, and pledged to deepen ties with Beijing, state-run KCNA reported.
Following the visit, Wang said that China’s “firm support for the cause of Korean socialism led by Comrade General Secretary Kim Jong Un will never be changed.”
The summit follows Chinese President Xi Jinping’s June visit to Pyongyang, his first in seven years, and is seen as an effort by Beijing to reinforce its influence over North Korea.

Excellent comprehensive reporting from Drop Site. Best in the world.
great reporting - thanks as always.
the world is in as much of a turmoil as when the fascists of europe and asia decided to destroy everything and kill as many people as ever in the history of the world.....(as trump would say) :)
the only thing that humans have excelled at (since time immemorial) is war. will humans ever change?
national corrupt governments align on a quid pro quo basis....and subdue their populations into believing that governments are actually about helping people...
i had hopes the ICC would help stop the development of fascism and fascist dictators who commit war crimes...but alas, we just have more and more of them......it's become 'open-play' on killing civilians. everywhere you look, usa, israel, russia, sudan, china, south africa, chad, myanmar etc etc etc it's about killing and disrupting human beings with children, families, trying to eke out a living.....
all these horrific fascist murderers (not sure if there are any stalinist murderers left in the world) should be imprisoned in horrific discomfort in totally inaccessible terrains, and left to nature to exact vengeance on them....
the usa has no moral compass and zero ethics in any of these situations....giving billions in aid to israel to kill and murder innocent humans is immorality in the extreme.....the billions will better serve helping usa citizens to have decent healthcare, try and help famine struck areas convulsing under 1st world induced climate change, help poor nations provide clean water to it's population......and the list concerning saving lives is never ending.....
spending money on killing people and animals rather than saving them, is the core immorality of humanity.
as john and yoko said in 'imagine'
imagine no country
imagine no religion
imagine people living together in peace....
does anyone still have the strength/ability to imagine?????????????
