The German government has refused to clarify whether it received warnings ahead of the Nord Stream sabotage, Ostdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung (OAZ) reported on Friday, citing a written response to an opposition lawmaker.
Anna Rathert, an MP from the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, asked the chancellor’s office whether it received any information from foreign intelligence agencies before the twin pipelines, which were built to deliver Russian gas to Germany via the Baltic Sea, were bombed in September 2022. She also asked why the government had not taken any precautions.
In the document, which was obtained by the outlet, the government said the issue “touches on the national interest to a particularly high degree” and could jeopardize “the trusting cooperation” between Germany and its allies. The document added that the response should be treated as “neither confirming nor denying” the matter.
According to OAZ, the chancellery refused to provide the information through a special parliamentary procedure that allows classified data to be shared with MPs under strict security protocols. Rathert told the outlet that she considers the response a sign that Berlin is concealing information. … Full article
Israel has run a decade-long covert campaign against the ICC to block the prosecution of Israeli officials and military officers
The Cradle | July 25, 2026
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar played an active role in efforts to oust Karim Khan, the former head prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), i24 News reported on 25 July.
Guy Azriel, the diplomatic correspondent for the Israeli news outlet, cited a government official as saying, “Saar oversaw a dedicated task force and employed intensive diplomatic efforts aimed at securing Khan’s removal from office.”
The revelation comes after member States of the ICC dismissed Khan following disciplinary proceedings related to allegations of sexual misconduct.
The vote took place at an emergency session at UN Headquarters in New York on Friday. […]
This is not the first time Israel has targeted ICC prosecutors.
In May 2024, The Guardian reported that Mossad director Yossi Cohen had been personally involved in a secret plot to pressure Khan’s predecessor, chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda, to drop an investigation into Israeli war crimes in the occupied Palestinian West Bank and Gaza.
An Israeli source said that “the Mossad’s objective was to compromise the prosecutor or enlist her as someone who would cooperate with Israel’s demands.”
Cohen’s efforts included threatening her family. “You should help us and let us take care of you. You don’t want to be getting into things that could compromise your security or that of your family,” the Mossad chief reportedly told her. … Full article

Israel is reportedly moving away from relying primarily on traditional US-based lobbying organizations such as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and instead hiring foreign agents and public relations firms to expand its influence operations in the United States.
According to a new report by the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, authored by Nick Cleveland-Stout, a research associate in the institute’s Democratizing Foreign Policy program, Israel has spent more than $1 billion on global public diplomacy efforts since 2023.
The amount, the report said, includes more than $100 million on influence activities in the United States disclosed under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
The report added 17 new firms registered under FARA to represent Israeli interests in 2024 and 2025.
Among them is Clock Tower X, the consulting firm founded by former Donald Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale, which secured a $46.5 million contract—the largest disclosed agreement.
The report said Clock Tower X disclosed efforts to promote pro-Israel narratives in the training data used by large language models through a network of websites designed to influence AI chatbots, including ChatGPT.
The report also states that Israel spent millions of dollars on social media campaigns and influencer partnerships.
According to FARA filings reviewed by the Quincy Institute, influencer Yoav Davis, who manages the Instagram account @jews_of_ny, received $161,000, while public affairs firm Bridges Partners was paid $900,000 to compensate more than a dozen influencers, none of whom have registered as foreign agents. … Full article
The reconstruction of Gaza will cost at least seven times more than every previous attempt to rebuild the devastated coastal enclave combined and will not succeed without Palestinian leadership, the UK charity Oxfam warned on Thursday.
Oxfam, together with Palestinian NGOs have presented world leaders with a plan for Gaza’s recovery “that puts Palestinian ownership and accountability for Israel’s genocide at its core”, the charity said in a statement.
It estimated the total cost of rebuilding Gaza at a staggering $71.4 billion, pointing out that this was seven times combined the cost of rebuilding the devastated territory after previous Israeli wars, such as the ones in 2008-9, 2014, and 2021.
Richard Hawkes, the chief executive of Oxfam’s UK branch, said “The [UK] government must take the lead in ensuring Palestinians are the primary decision-makers in rebuilding the Gaza Strip and should no longer suffer the devastating consequences of the Israeli Government’s ongoing genocide and aid blockade in Gaza.” … continue

Israeli media revealed new details about a wide assassination program Israel is carrying out in the Gaza Strip, targeting Palestinians it claims were involved in the events of October 7, 2023.
According to these reports, Israel’s security establishment has compiled a list of individuals it intends to pursue, stating that “none of them will be beyond reach.”
The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the Israeli Security Agency (Shin Bet) established a special operations room less than two weeks after October 7, 2023.
The unit, named “Nili”—an acronym drawn from a biblical phrase translated in Israeli discourse as “The Eternal One of Israel does not lie”—includes intelligence and operations personnel tasked with tracking and killing Palestinians Israel accuses of involvement in the attack on Israeli colonies around Gaza, or in the killing, capture, or holding of Israelis inside the Strip. … Full article

An Israeli airstrike has killed Brigadier General Abdel-Nasser Al-Maqadma, the head of the police force in the northern Gaza Strip, according to Gaza’s Interior Ministry and local medics.
The Interior Ministry said Al-Maqadma, who also served as governor of northern Gaza, was killed in an airstrike targeting the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, north of Gaza City, on Saturday.
In separate strikes, medics reported that a Palestinian paramedic was killed in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, while a police officer who had been wounded in an Israeli strike last week later succumbed to his injuries.
Israel has targeted numerous members of the police force in recent months, including senior officials, alleging many were affiliated with Hamas’ military wing and posed security threats to Israeli forces in Gaza.
Hamas, however, says the strikes are aimed at undermining law enforcement, spreading instability, and violating the US-brokered ceasefire that came into effect in October.
Since the ceasefire that took effect on October 10, 2025, the Israeli occupation regime has killed 1,191 Palestinians and wounded 3,853 others in Gaza.
Despite the ceasefire, Israeli strikes have continued almost daily. During the same period, four Israeli soldiers have been killed in attacks by Palestinian resistance fighters inside Gaza. … Full article

In the occupied West Bank, the story often starts too late.
It starts when an Israeli settler is killed, injured, or frightened. It starts when Israeli officials speak, when the army enters Palestinian villages, and when headlines describe a “clash” or a “terror attack”. Suddenly, the settler becomes the victim, the Palestinian village becomes the threat, and the occupation disappears from the story.
But Nablus cannot be understood from the middle of the story. … continue

Announcing the measures with immediate effect, the Chinese Commerce Ministry called the bloc’s conduct “egregious” and demanded the EU “immediately correct its wrongdoing, eliminate the egregious impact, and safeguard the overall interests of China–EU relations with concrete actions.”
The restrictions cover dual-use items, goods, software, and technology with both civilian and military applications, including rare earth elements used to build drones and chips. … continue

Striking civilian populations is the method used by terrorists, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik on Saturday, commenting on Ukrainian attacks on tourist camps in the Zaporozhye Region.
“Striking civilians is the method used by terrorists,” Zakharova said.
Eight people, including two children, have been killed and 14 were wounded in an overnight Ukrainian attack on tourist camps in Zaporozhye Region, Governor Yevgeny Balitsky said.
Emergency services are working at the scene, and search and rescue operations are ongoing.
A criminal case on terrorism charges has been opened following Ukrainian drone strikes on holiday camps in the Zaporozhye Region, Russian Investigative Committee spokeswoman Svetlana Petrenko told Sputnik.

Asked about “blowing up civilian power plants and bridges” and whether that would be considered a war crime, US President Donald Trump refused to answer.
“I won’t respond to that question,” Trump said.
The exchange comes as the US continues its strikes on Iran, with attacks on civilian infrastructure, including bridges, residential areas and power-related facilities, causing civilian casualties.
Asked about his “exit strategy” on Iran, Trump said the US could either keep bombing, escalate further or negotiate.
“We can even make it a heavier dose, and it’s knocking out everything they have,” Trump said.
Once again, Trump claimed that talks with Iran are underway — a claim Tehran has not confirmed.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has dismissed European Union claims of concern for human rights in Iran as “sheer hypocrisy,” criticizing remarks by EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas regarding what she described as “human rights concerns” in the country.
Baghaei questioned how the EU’s professed commitment to human rights could be reconciled with its provision of logistical and technical support for deadly attacks “deliberately targeting the Iranian people, including civilians and vital national infrastructure,” according to the statement.
The spokesman noted that the EU has refrained from condemning “the most obvious war crimes” and has not expressed any sympathy for Iranian children killed by US and Israeli bombs and missiles, “the execution of which has been made possible by European logistical and technical support.”
Baghaei concluded by saying that this stance “is not just a loss of credibility, but a trivialization of evil and the most obvious form of hypocrisy.” … continue

Iran has formally lodged a complaint with the United Nations over a deliberate US attack on two Iranian maritime search-and-rescue vessels, saying the incident constituted “a grave and manifest violation of international humanitarian law” and amounts to a “war crime.”
Gholamhossein Darzi, Iran’s deputy permanent representative to the UN, issued the complaint in a letter dated Friday to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the president of the UN Security Council, International Maritime Organization (IMO) Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez, and the president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
The diplomat said the United States attacked the vessels Naji (Rescuer)-15 and Naji-16 in the early hours of Thursday, while they were operating in Iran’s territorial waters in Hormozgan Province. According to the letter, the vessels were engaged exclusively in humanitarian search-and-rescue missions and sustained significant damage in the attack.
“The deliberate targeting of vessels exclusively assigned to maritime search-and-rescue operations constitutes a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and the international law of the sea,” Darzi wrote, adding that the vessels’ “sole mission is to save the lives of persons in distress at sea.”
He further stated that the vessels “were not engaged in any military activity or direct participation in hostilities at the time of the attack,” adding that “their deliberate targeting, therefore, constitutes a serious and manifest violation of international humanitarian law and amounts to a war crime.”
Referring to Article 27 of the 1949 Second Geneva Convention, Darzi said vessels employed for maritime rescue operations are entitled to special protection under international law.
The official also described the incident as part of a broader pattern, stating that since “the commencement of the military aggression by the United States and the Israeli regime against the Islamic Republic of Iran on February 28, 2026,” Iranian search-and-rescue vessels and marine ambulances engaged in humanitarian missions “have repeatedly been targeted.” … Full article

The Yemeni Armed Forces carried out two top-tier operations in response to the “blatant and criminal Saudi aggression,” YAF spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced in a statement on Saturday.
In detail, the first operation targeted sensitive facilities affiliated with Aramco in Jizan using dozens of ballistic missiles and drones, while the second targeted Aramco-affiliated facilities in Yanbu with ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as drones, as per the spokesperson.
Saree said both operations successfully achieved their objectives, delivering accurate and direct strikes on their intended targets.
Response to aggression
The Yemeni Armed Forces spokesperson noted that the operations were in response to the aggression on the country, explaining that Saudi airstrikes targeted the city and port of Hodeidah and Kamaran Island overnight. Saree described the aggression as a violation of Yemen’s sovereignty, with material and incorporeal damage reported.
In the statement, he revealed that Yemeni air defenses engaged a formation of Saudi warplanes after they invaded Yemeni airspace, preventing them from carrying out “further crimes against this great nation.”
The Yemeni Brigadier General further stated that the latest aggression demonstrated Saudi Arabia’s determination to continue its blockade of Yemen and its violation of the country’s sovereignty. … continue

CBS News reported recently that Pentagon officials were exploring the possibility of military action against Cuba.
“Military planners have in recent weeks examined a range of options for possible action against the island, including an Army-led air assault involving thousands of U.S. soldiers to be carried out by the 101st Airborne Division, the only unit trained for such a task,” according to the report.
Only days later, the State Department released a 100-page report describing Cuba as a “unique threat” to U.S. national security, claiming Havana sought to “turn America against itself” and even “conquer” the United States. Some analysts and commentators interpreted the report as an effort to lay the political groundwork for possible military action.
President Donald Trump has also repeatedly declared that he intends to overthrow Cuba’s government, at one point saying that he might “stop by” the island after he was “finished” with the war in Iran.
Experts who spoke with Responsible Statecraft cautioned that reports of military planning should not necessarily be interpreted as evidence that an intervention is imminent. Several said the recent rhetoric and reported contingency planning could just as easily reflect an effort to increase pressure on Havana. Should Washington ultimately decide to use force, they warned, any operation aimed at toppling the Cuban government would confront far greater military, political, and humanitarian risks than the administration’s rhetoric suggests. … Full article

The UK has canceled a major army exercise in Kenya after the two countries failed to resolve a dispute over Nairobi’s powers to prosecute British soldiers accused of committing crimes in the East African nation.
The planned Exercise Haraka Storm, involving the 1st Battalion and The Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment, was reportedly scheduled to begin in September in central Kenya’s Laikipia County. It will instead be held outside Kenya, the British Ministry of Defence said on Thursday, according to The Guardian. Kenya’s Standard newspaper reported that the training would be moved to neighboring Tanzania.
“It is with regret that the necessary licences required to allow training to take place in Laikipia later this year have not been forthcoming,” a Ministry of Defence spokesperson said.
The African state hosts a permanent British Army training support unit, known as BATUK, in Nanyuki, about 200km (125 miles) north of the capital, Nairobi. British troops have trained there since Kenya’s independence in 1963, conducting infantry exercises, as well as engineering and medical deployments under a bilateral defense cooperation agreement.
Kenyan lawmakers have, however, withheld approval for a renewed bilateral defense agreement amid demands for greater jurisdiction over serious offenses committed by British troops. Funding for BATUK is also reportedly under negotiation.
The unit has faced widespread allegations of misconduct, including murder, rape, and environmental pollution. … continue

Latvia’s parliament has approved a ban on a wide range of Russian and Belarusian consumer goods, citing support for Ukraine and concerns over alleged propaganda.
The decision comes amid accusations from Moscow that Latvia and its Baltic neighbors are pursuing extreme Russophobia and systematically targeting Russian culture, language, and people under the guise of national security.
The restrictions, which were approved on Thursday, apply to books, newspapers, toys, video games, clothing, footwear, and sporting goods produced in Russia and Belarus. They will apply to both direct shipments and goods routed through third countries and remain in force until July 1, 2027. The government has yet to finalize the list.

A cross-party group of Irish politicians has called on Dublin to send observers to the high-security trial of pro-Palestine activists in Germany and to raise concerns over the detention conditions of the Irish defendant when the German chancellor visits next week, The Guardian reported.
Mairéad Farrell of Sinn Féin, one of seven members of the delegation, said she and her colleagues attended Wednesday’s hearing in Stuttgart involving the Ulm 5 activists, who are facing charges linked to an alleged attack on an Israeli arms company.
Farrell and two other members of the delegation also visited Daniel Tatlow-Devally, the Irish defendant being tried as part of the group, in prison. She said she was deeply concerned by the conditions of his detention.

Israeli far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir on Friday called for applying the destructive military approach used in Gaza’s Beit Hanoun to Palestinian cities and villages in the occupied West Bank, Anadolu reports.
The cities and villages of Palestinians who carry out attacks against Israelis in the West Bank should be treated “as Beit Hanoun in Gaza was treated,” Ben-Gvir said in a post on the US social media platform X.
“I will demand that the Israeli army issue orders to destroy the homes” of Palestinians involved in such incidents and their supporters, the extremist minister said.
“For every Jew killed, the enemy must bear the loss of land and homes,” Ben-Gvir added.
The statement came after a security incident earlier Friday in which four Palestinians were killed in an attack by Israeli forces and occupiers in the town of Tell, southwest of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
Israeli media reported that one occupier was killed and three others injured in a shooting near the illegal Havat Gilad settlement.
In a statement Friday, the Palestinian Health Ministry said 86 Palestinians had been killed in the West Bank by Israeli forces and occupiers since the beginning of 2026, including 21 killed by occupiers.

GAZA – A Palestinian woman was killed and several others were injured early Friday in Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip as Israeli occupation forces continued violating the ceasefire agreement.
Local sources said the woman succumbed to wounds she sustained in an Israeli strike that targeted a residential apartment on Al-Jalaa Street in Gaza City.
Several Palestinians were also injured after Israeli warplanes struck an industrial facility near Salah al-Din Mosque in the Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.
Others were wounded in an airstrike targeting a residential building near the Al-Zaharna area, close to Al-Jalaa Street.
Israeli warplanes also bombed a house in the Beit Lahia housing project in northern Gaza and another home near the Jabalia refugee camp police station.
In central Gaza, Israeli aircraft carried out a strike on Al-Bureij refugee camp, while Israeli occupation forces demolished Al-Nour Mosque and the surrounding area in Block 9, southeast of the camp.
Another strike targeted a house adjacent to Al-Salah Medical Association in Al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza.
According to media sources, Israeli airstrikes destroyed five homes, a mosque, and a commercial facility across various parts of the Gaza Strip overnight.

Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement has dismissed claims of the closure of Bab al-Mandab, stressing that only Saudi vessels are banned from transiting the waterway.
Mohammed Abdul-Salam, the spokesman for Ansarullah, emphasized on Friday that Yemen has not yet closed the Bab al-Mandab Strait.
Citing the Yemeni armed forces’ statements, he said the naval blockade only targets Saudi vessels in response to the siege imposed by the kingdom against Yemen, noting that Riyadh is unwilling to explore solutions that guarantee Yemen’s security, sovereignty, and independence. […]
Separately, Yemen’s Foreign Ministry slammed the UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy to Yemen for expressing concern over the blockade imposed by Yemen on Saudi Arabia, while remaining silent on the 12-year Saudi blockade of Yemen.
“Perhaps the UN envoy forgot he is an envoy to Yemen, not Saudi Arabia, to express concern over the blockade of its ports,” the ministry said in a press release.
The ministry slammed such “unacceptable” stances, noting that they embolden the Saudi regime to continue its crimes against the Yemeni nation.
The statement noted that these positions constitute a disregard for the suffering of the Yemeni people.
Reiterating that Sana’a has the full and legitimate right to take all necessary measures to lift the unjust blockade imposed on Yemen, the ministry noted that the Yemeni army’s actions are backed by the Yemeni people who have taken part in massive pro-government demonstrations. … Full article

The United States has presented its new nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia as a gift: reactors, technology, investment, prestige, and the radiant promise of a peaceful atomic future. Washington is forever giving gifts of this kind. Curiously, they tend to arrive fitted with surveillance equipment, political conditions, and a discreetly concealed choke chain.
This is not merely a civil nuclear agreement. It is a disciplinary instrument aimed at Mohammed bin Salman — a strategic summons issued to a crown prince who has recently behaved less like an obedient client and more like the ruler of an indispensable state.
Its message is simple: Saudi Arabia may diversify its economy, its diplomatic partners, and even its wardrobe of alliances, but it may not diversify the source of its ultimate protection. That franchise still belongs to Washington.
The agreement therefore concerns nuclear energy only in the same sense that a prison contract concerns architecture. Its deeper purpose is to reconstruct American authority over a kingdom that has begun imagining life beyond the imperial security nursery.
Riyadh has committed three increasingly intolerable offenses. … continue

The excitement over the US-Saudi nuclear deal has proved to be short-lived. Apparently, the US President Donald Trump himself poured cold water into it by adding a caveat on Thursday that in order for the deal to be advanced, Saudi Arabia must first join the Abraham Accords. That is, as things stand, may seem like asking for the moon.
However, it’s all but certain that Trump allowed the Saudi deal to be signed after consulting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a last throw of dice to pin down Saudi Arabia as a participant / collaborator alongside Israel (and the UAE) for an all-out war against Iran that might at some point entail ground operations, which is not possible without first getting Riyadh on his side firmly, irrevocably.
If Saudi Arabia dissociates from Tump’s upcoming war and disallows the US to use the Saudi bases or work out the logistics accordingly, Pentagon generals will be hard-pressed to conduct the war. In political terms too, the Saudi stance will influence other regional oligarchies in the Persian Gulf in their own attitudes towards Iran, which is astride the Arab street like a colossus. The timing of the July 15 meeting of Trump with the visit of the pro-American prime minister of Iraq Ali al-Zaidi also needs to be factored in here. Simply put, Iraq has become a frontline in the US-Iran conflict. … continue

Kiev is targeting civilian infrastructure in Russia in an attempt to provoke Moscow into responding in kind so that Ukraine can “play the victim,” knowing Western media will largely ignore attacks on Russian civilians, former Pentagon senior security policy analyst Michael Maloof has told RT.
Thursday marked the third Ukrainian strike on warehouses belonging to Russia’s largest e-commerce retailer, Wildberries in an escalation of Kiev’s campaign against Russian civilian infrastructure. Ukraine has claimed the company supports Russian military logistics, an allegation denied by both Moscow and Wildberries itself. In a separate attack the same day, Ukrainian forces also struck storage facilities at a poultry farm near St. Petersburg.
Speaking to RT on Friday, Maloof described the attacks as a deliberate “terrorist” strategy.
“They’re doing it purposely in order to lure Russia to start hitting civilian targets… thereby knowing that the Western press will take that information and run with it,” he said.
“And that’s all that you’ll ever hear. You never hear about the attacks in Russia on civilian targets… And so I think the Ukrainians are just trying to play victim once again.” … continue
Ukrainian forces have hit Wildberries warehouses in multiple Russian cities for several day. Ukraine’s official line says the facilities were used to store dual-use goods: body armor, military uniforms, fiber optics.
Plausible? Hardly.
The very same items are freely sold on Amazon, Temu, AliExpress, and other Western and Chinese platforms across Europe. Neither the EU, nor NATO, nor Ukraine itself treats those sales as legitimate military targets.
So what’s really going on?
Striking Wildberries’ warehouses means hitting ordinary local workers: people unloading trucks, stacking shelves, earning a paycheck. That’s not a military operation, but terrorist attack aimed at civilians.
This isn’t just about Russia, either. The marketplace supports hundreds of thousands of sellers from Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan. They use Wildberries’ infrastructure to move goods across borders: clothing from Kazakhstan to Armenia, for example. These strikes don’t just hurt Russians, but hit entrepreneurs and businesses across a dozen countries.
What do these warehouses really hold? Mostly clothes, shoes, home goods, and beauty products, which are bought primarily by women with children.
This isn’t an ammunition depot and surely not a big-tech data center. Ukraine’s rhetoric is wearing thin: and the pretext is getting harder to sell.
Conveniently, though, it fits the narrative of Ukraine’s new commander-in-chief, Mykhailo Drapaty, who recently told an interviewer that Russians “have no right to exist as a nation.”

German prosecutors have linked the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage to Ukrainian state agencies, according to Nicola Canestrini, an attorney representing one of the suspects. He said the indictment argues there are sufficient grounds to believe the operation was ordered and directed by Ukrainian authorities.
“Russia does not supply gas to Europe, while the United States supplies liquefied gas to Europe and makes excessive profits from it. Who benefits? The United States,” former SBU Lieutenant Colonel Vasily Prozorov told Sputnik.
He added that the US had both the motive and the operational capability to carry out such an attack, adding that divers trained for missions at that depth “can be counted on one hand.”
These claims were previously made by Pulitzer Prize-winning American journalist Seymour Hersh, who alleged in 2023 that US Navy divers planted explosives under the pipelines in June 2022, hidden during Baltops exercises, with Norwegian support and authorization from then-President Joe Biden. … continue

A couple of weeks ago, in Ankara, the capital of Turkey, there was a NATO conference that sought yet more rearmament and militarization, steps that must inevitably lead to a new Great War. As an answer to this NATO conference, 200 ministers, members of parliament, ambassadors, politicians, activists, journalists, retired generals, academics, diplomats, military personnel and experts from many countries gathered in Ankara last weekend to prevent NATO’s new Great War. Among them were a few of our fellows, Unz Review writers, notably Larry Johnson and Scott Ritter.
The Alliance to Prevent the Great War concluded that the threats that could lead to a Great War originate from the United States, the EU and Israel. The US and Israeli attacks on Iran, NATO’s build-up of military power in Ukraine and the deployment of proxy forces against Russia, Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the attacks on Lebanon — these are regional wars that carry the risk of triggering a Great War. … continue

UN experts have called for an independent investigation into the bombing of a primary school in the southern Iranian city of Minab that killed 168 children and teachers, saying the attack highlights serious violations of international law during war of aggression by the United States and Israel.
In a statement released on Friday, the experts said the school was struck twice during school hours on Feb. 28, 2026, and that there was no indication it was being used for military purposes.
“The school was clearly identifiable as a civilian educational facility and that they had received no information indicating it was being used for military purposes,” the statement read.

The rush to bypass Hormuz leads back to the same problem: Every alternative route remains hostage to war, rival chokepoints, or political disputes.
By Hussein Askary | The Cradle | July 23, 2026
“The only alternative to the Strait of Hormuz is the Strait of Hormuz.”
This blunt assessment, offered by an Iraqi expert in a recent interview, captures the central weakness in the rush to revive old pipeline schemes and promote new ones across West Asia. Since Iran effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz after Israel and the US launched their second war against it in February 2026, the region has been flooded with proposals for alternative oil-export routes.
Washington has encouraged these plans, while several governments have presented dormant or unfinished pipelines as strategic solutions. Yet the closer one looks at geography, markets, costs, capacity, and security, the clearer it becomes that most of these projects cannot substitute for Hormuz.
Even if oil bypasses the strait, it still faces the rival chokepoint of Bab al-Mandab, where the Ansarallah-aligned armed forces have declared a maritime blockade against Saudi Arabia and attacked Saudi tankers.
These expensive detours will remain exposed unless security in the Persian Gulf itself improves. Until the war on Iran ends and an inclusive regional security architecture is established, Iranian and Yemeni missiles and drones can reach the pipelines and loading terminals built to evade them. … continue

The head of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission has warned the United Kingdom over its support for US military operations against Iran, specifically referencing the strategic role of the UK-controlled Diego Garcia military base in the Indian Ocean.
In a post on X, Iranian lawmaker Ebrahim Azizi said the “era of Sykes–Picot is long over,” adding that “the day is not far when you will lose Diego Garcia, like your other colonies.”
Azizi also warned London to “reflect on the fragility of its own borders” and said Iran’s capabilities “extend far beyond military options.”
The remarks came amid heightened tensions between Tehran and Western powers, with the United Kingdom facing scrutiny over its military cooperation with Washington.
Diego Garcia, a UK-administered territory in the Indian Ocean, hosts a major US military facility under a long-standing agreement between London and Washington. The base has historically served as a strategic hub for US long-range aviation, logistics, and naval operations across the West Asia and Indo-Pacific.
The facility has previously been used to support US military aggression in the region, including in Afghanistan and Iraq.
During the current war on Iran the base has been identified as a key location supporting the deployment of American strategic bombers, including B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, which have the range and payload capacity to conduct long-distance strikes against heavily defended targets. … Full article

Former Indian Foreign Secretary Kanwal Sibal says the US attack on the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena near Sri Lanka demonstrated Washington’s disregard for India’s sensitivities, warning that the war with Iran has expanded beyond West Asia into India’s immediate maritime neighborhood.
“The sinking of the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena by a US submarine in the Indian Ocean has brought the widening conflict with Iran into India’s immediate maritime neighborhood. This is no longer a distant West Asian crisis,” Sibal wrote on X on Friday.
Sibal said the circumstances gave the incident both moral and diplomatic significance for New Delhi.
“That fact gives the episode a moral and diplomatic dimension that cannot simply be ignored. The United States has shown scant regard for Indian sensitivities in carrying out this action so close to our shores,” he said.
Warning that the consequences extend beyond the immediate attack, Sibal said the war between major powers will inevitably spread beyond West Asia into regions vital to India’s interests.
“The larger issue is the progressive spread of the conflict beyond West Asia. Escalation between major powers does not remain geographically contained. It inevitably spills into regions that are vital to India’s security and economic interests,” he wrote.
He added: “Stability in the Indian Ocean, freedom of navigation, and uninterrupted energy flows are not abstract concerns for India. They are core national interests. Any sustained disruption in these waters will have direct and serious consequences for us.” … continue

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) announced on Friday that its forces have destroyed the remaining building of an Amazon company data center and a large ammunition depot at a US base, as part of ongoing operations against American military assets in the region.
In a statement, the IRGC said its fighters, in the 27th wave of Operation Nasr 2, targeted the remaining structure of an Amazon data center, which plays a primary role in completing intelligence for the US military.
“The fighters of Islam, in the 27th wave of Operation Nasr 2, in completion of their previous operation against the data intelligence center of the American company Amazon, which plays the main role in completing the intelligence of the US child-killing army, targeted and destroyed the remaining building of this center,” the IRGC said in a statement. … continue

The United States Army has been forced by Iran’s resolute resistance to procure outdated PAC-2 Patriot missiles for the first time in decades, as its vaunted air defense stockpiles were severely depleted during its war of aggression against Tehran.
Raytheon RTX received a $441.6 million contract modification on April 30 for the production of Patriot Guidance Enhanced Missile-Tactical (GEM-T) interceptors, essentially upgraded versions of the older PAC-2 series, to support what Washington called Operation Epic Fury, twz.com reported on Thursday.
The rush order, funded by special fiscal 2026 appropriations outside normal budgeting, demands completion by September 30 and marks the first domestic US purchase of these missiles in over 30 years. Work is underway solely at Raytheon’s Chambersburg, Pennsylvania facility, the only US production line for the system.
The move comes after American forces expended an estimated 1,060 to 1,430 Patriot interceptors between late February and early April 2026 in a desperate attempt to counter Iran’s precision missile and drone strikes. … continue
In his heyday, the former CIA director was among America’s loudest voices pressing for military intervention abroad
By Jim Lobe | Responsible Statecraft | July 23, 2026
R. James “Jim” Woolsey, a major Iraq and GWOT promoter and neoconservative Democrat, passed away Tuesday at 84.
Woolsey served briefly as CIA director but rose to much greater prominence as a consistent promoter on television and in the Wall Street Journal’s op-ed pages of both the Iraq War and the broader Global War on Terror, which he sometimes referred to as “World War IV.”
Indeed, immediately after the 9/11 attacks, Woolsey was ubiquitous in arguing that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein not only was linked to al-Qaeda but may very well have approved or helped plan the plot himself. … continue

The administration of US President Donald Trump has collected billions of dollars in Venezuelan oil revenues while withholding control of the funds from the crisis-hit country, according to a report.
An investigation published by the Financial Times on Wednesday estimated that Washington has collected more than $13 billion from Venezuelan oil exports since taking control of the country’s oil sales in January, following the abduction of President Nicolás Maduro Moros.
The report said the revenues were expected to provide a major boost to Venezuela’s economy, where oil accounts for roughly one-quarter of national output.
However, despite the sharp rise in oil income, Venezuela’s economic recovery has remained weak, raising questions over Washington’s control of the revenues and whether the funds have reached the Venezuelan economy.
The report highlighted that only one transfer of $300 million has been publicly recorded on a Venezuelan government website created to monitor the US-controlled oil revenues.
It also highlighted conflicting statements from Washington regarding who controls the funds and how they are being managed.
A January executive order described the US role as merely holding the money in a custodial capacity, yet Trump later boasted that Washington was “making a lot of money” from Venezuelan oil.
He cited oil revenues as one of the benefits of the US aggression against Venezuela, saying, “48 minutes to win that war,” and claiming, “We brought millions of barrels of oil out,” after taking control of the country’s oil exports.
A senior State Department official, Michael Kozak told Congress in April that roughly $3 billion had been transferred to Venezuela. However, lawmakers later said they had received no further disclosures regarding the funds. … Full article

Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office has accused the former head of a defense industry factory of selling plant machinery for scrap while amassing a fleet of luxury cars.
Investigators have accused the former acting director of the Kiev-based Burevestnik plant, Aleksandr Plotnikov, and three employees of organizing the destruction of the state enterprise while it was awaiting privatization.
Equipment was allegedly dismantled, cut up, loaded onto trucks, and taken to scrap yards, costing the state millions.
Since the Ukraine conflict escalated in 2022, Plotnikov allegedly became the effective owner of six undeclared vehicles, including a Lamborghini Murcielago, BMW M8, Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, and Audi RS7, worth well over $400,000.
The cars were registered to relatives and associates but were allegedly owned and used by Plotnikov, investigators said. His financial declarations for 2024 and 2025 reportedly omitted assets and income worth almost 25 million hryvnia ($550,000).
Plotnikov and the plant’s chief engineer had previously been accused of taking bribes to hand over warehouse space without official rental agreements, allegedly costing the company another 5.7 million hryvnia ($127,000).
The case is the latest in a string of wartime corruption scandals involving Ukrainian state and defense enterprises. … Full article

Ukrainian forces systematically hunted the Russian-speaking civilians of the Donbass town of Konstantinovka, killing families peeking out of their shelters for water or to attempt to evacuate, officials heard at a session of an international tribunal in Moscow on Wednesday.
The town, located on the southernmost tip of the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration, was briefly under the control of the Donetsk People’s Republic forces in 2014 before being recaptured by Ukraine. It was liberated by Russian troops in early June.
At a hearing of the International Public Tribunal on Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis in Moscow on Wednesday, witnesses and survivors from the town said that Ukrainian troops hunted them, their relatives, and their neighbors with drones.
One witness recounted soldiers setting a house on fire, watching to see how locals would react via a reconnaissance UAV and attacking them with kamikaze drones when they attempted to take belongings out of the burning building. Another witness said his son was killed by a Ukrainian missile strike. … Full article

The Metropolitan Police has withdrawn its decision not to investigate allegations that British nationals committed war crimes while serving with the Israeli army in Gaza, following a legal challenge brought by a British-Palestinian human rights campaigner.
The reversal means that the force’s previous decision no longer stands and its War Crimes Team will conduct a fresh assessment of the evidence relating to four identifiable British nationals.
British-Palestinian campaigner Lubna Speitan challenged the decision with the assistance of the Public Interest Law Centre (PILC). Lawyers sent the Metropolitan Police a detailed letter before action threatening judicial-review proceedings over its handling of the case.
The original referral was submitted by PILC and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) on April, 2025. It alleged that ten British nationals had committed war crimes and crimes against humanity while taking part in Israeli military operations in Gaza.
After reviewing the evidence, the Metropolitan Police narrowed its focus to four identifiable British nationals. However, on 27 April, 2026, the War Crimes Team informed the organisations that it would not open a criminal investigation, claiming that the available evidence was insufficient.
PILC challenged that conclusion, arguing that the police had failed to consider the full range of investigative avenues available to them and had effectively demanded evidence capable of securing a conviction before opening an investigation.
The force has now formally withdrawn its decision and agreed to carry out a fresh scoping exercise. Such an exercise allows the War Crimes Team, which sits within the Metropolitan Police’s Counter Terrorism Command, SO15, to determine whether the evidence justifies a full criminal investigation. … Full article

Israeli settlers seized a Palestinian family’s home in the village of Jalud, south of Nablus in the occupied northern West Bank, on Wednesday after forcing the family to leave, while the Israeli army continued raids across the territory, according to Palestinian sources.

The sources said the settlers had previously set fire to the house and established a settlement outpost nearby.
Despite being cut off from water and food and living under what the family described as a siege, they had remained in the home. … Full article

GAZA – A Palestinian citizen died on Thursday after succumbing to injuries sustained in an Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza, while two others were wounded by Israeli gunfire in the south.
According to media sources, a young man, Mohamed Abu Shikyan, succumbed to wounds sustained in an Israeli airstrike that targeted the al‑Faluja area of Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza on Wednesday morning.
Two citizens were reportedly injured when Israeli forces opened fire towards al-Burj displacement camp in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Yunis, south of Gaza.
Israeli armored vehicles also opened machinegun fire towards tents sheltering displaced families in the al-Kanees area of Khan Yunis, with no reported casualties.
Gunfire from a helicopter and gunboats was reported in separate areas of Gaza, amid other attacks, including artillery shelling.

DAMASCUS – Israeli occupation forces carried out a new incursion on Wednesday evening into the Al-Mantara Dam area in the northern countryside of Quneitra, southwestern Syria, amid repeated violations in the region since the fall of Bashar Al-Assad’s regime on December 8, 2024.
Israeli incursions have become an almost daily pattern, accompanied by raids, detentions, checkpoints and harassment of local residents in Quneitra and its countryside.
The Rights Record Center said in a report issued Wednesday that it had documented at least 57 Israeli violations in the governorates of Quneitra, Daraa and Rural Damascus between July 15 and 21.
Quneitra recorded the largest share, with 43 violations, including four shelling incidents, six detentions, five checkpoints, two raids, four overflights, 19 incursions and three other violations. … Full article

Sputnik – 23.07.2026
Global oil prices are rising, with the price of a barrel of Brent crude reaching above $99 for the first time since May22, trading data showed on Thursday.
As of 11:59 GMT, the price of September Brent crude futures was up 5.26% to $99.02 per barrel. Minutes earlier, the figure exceeded the $99 mark for the first time since June 22.
September WTI futures were up 4.87% to $91.06 per barrel.
The rising prices come amid heightened tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, with US Central Command striking Iran for 12 consecutive days, prompting a strong response from Tehran and affecting the entire region.
US President Donald Trump continued to exacerbate tensions, saying that “any time the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, whether it be by Missile, Rocket, Drone, or any other device or weapon, the United States will bomb and destroy one bridge or power plant, including those located next to, or in, the capital city of Tehran.”
The United States benefits from oil supply disruptions caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Craig Murray, a Scottish political activist and former UK ambassador to Uzbekistan, told Sputnik.
“The Americans are not unhappy with the disruption of oil supplies. They actually like the disruption of oil supplies because it benefits their own oil producers,” Murray said.
The blockade of the strait is not a big problem for the US, a net oil exporter, as the Americans do not get much oil from the Strait of Hormuz, the ex-diplomat said. It is a problem for China and India, which the US sees as competitors.
“So if they are damaged, that is good from the American perspective,” he added.
Murray compared the Hormuz blockade with the 2022 bombing of the Nord Stream pipeline, which carried Russian natural gas to Germany and on to other EU countries.
“It did huge damage to Germany and European economies, and the Americans were quite happy. For them, closing the Strait of Hormuz is like blowing up Nord Stream: it damages industrial competitors and energy-exporting competitors,” Murray said.
The US has renewed strikes against Iran since July 8, claiming they are in response to Iran interfering with commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. US President Donald Trump suggested on July 13 that the US could become a “guardian” of the strait in exchange for a 20% fee on cargo shipped through the waterway.

Yemen’s Houthis said they struck two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea in the first attack of the kind since the Iranian-backed militant group declared a naval blockade of the kingdom.
Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said on Wednesday that the group targeted the Saudi-flagged vessels Encelia and Layla with missiles and drones. He added that around ten ships changed course since the blockade was formally imposed on Monday.
According to the UK Maritime Trade Operations coordination center, a vessel reported that it caught fire after being struck by an unidentified projectile around 130 km from Al Shuqaiq, Saudi Arabia. There were no reports of casualties.
A video posted on social media appears to show a large fire aboard a ship.
The Saudi Press Agency (SPA) later cited a source at the kingdom’s Transport General Authority as confirming that the Encelia caught fire after being struck. The source said all crew members were safe.
In a statement on Wednesday, Saree said the group would continue to enforce what he described as a policy of “a siege for a siege,” which Riyadh considers illegal under international law.
The Houthis imposed the blockade a week after forces loyal to Yemen’s Saudi-backed government bombed Sanaa International Airport in an attempt to prevent an Iranian plane carrying a Houthi delegation from Tehran from landing. The group has regularly launched missiles and drones at Israel since the start of the Gaza war, before reaching a ceasefire with the US in May 2025.
Netanyahu called Section 219 of the NDAA, which fuses US and Israeli military elements, ‘my plan’ in a letter last month
The Cradle | July 23, 2026
The US House of Representatives on 22 July passed the $1.1 trillion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which includes Section 219 integrating US military intelligence and the defense industrial base with the Israeli military.
The measure passed with a vote of 216-212.
It was overwhelmingly supported by Republican representatives in Congress, with only seven voting no.
House Democrats overwhelmingly opposed the bill, but six voted yes, allowing it to pass. All six received substantial funding from the Israel lobby.
The bill will now go to the Senate for a vote for final approval.
The bill creates a Pentagon official tasked with facilitating US–Israel military technology cooperation, including joint R&D, testing, co-production, data sharing, and moving jointly developed technology into procurement. […]

Iran’s foreign ministry has strongly condemned the British government’s decision to allow the US to use UK military bases and facilities to prepare and facilitate military strikes against Iran, declaring the move a violation of the UN Charter and international law.
“British policymakers, fully aware that US military strikes against Iran – which began with the participation of the Zionist regime and are still ongoing – constitute a clear act of aggression and a gross violation of the fundamental principles of the UN Charter and peremptory norms of international law, have decided to join these actions,” the ministry said in a statement Thursday.
The decision, the ministry said, is “clearly contrary to the fundamental principles and rules of the Charter of the United Nations and international law” and, under paragraph (f) of Article 3 of UN General Assembly Resolution 3314 on the Definition of Aggression, “constitutes an act of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran”.
The foreign ministry sharply criticized Britain’s role as a permanent member of the UN Security Council.
“The UK government, both as a state and as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, instead of fulfilling its legal and moral responsibilities to condemn the military aggression and war crimes of the United States and the Zionist regime against Iran, has stepped onto the path of aligning with the aggressors and has degraded its position to that of an accomplice in their war against the Iranian nation.”
“This decision,” the ministry added, “further undermines London’s claims about supporting the rule of law, human rights, and international peace and security.” … continue

New satellite imagery has surfaced showing the aftermath of Iranian retaliatory strikes on US military installations in Kuwait and Jordan, as Tehran continues its response to the US war on Iran.
The images show a direct impact at Kuwait’s Ahmad Al-Jaber Air Base, corroborating an Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) statement issued on Tuesday detailing the destruction of key US military infrastructure at the site.
The IRGC said its forces destroyed the AN/FPS-117 early-warning radar, a Patriot air defense system, and a US military satellite communications system supporting American air operations at the base.
The Corps said the strike would further degrade Washington’s defensive posture in the region and warned the United States to “prepare for more decisive and more powerful attacks” from Iranian missile and drone forces. … Full article
