Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has said any Israelis found entering the country will be immediately deported, as authorities investigate reports that Israelis used dual citizenship documents to enter the southern state of Johor.
“We are investigating. We do not allow it. If there is, action must be taken. Because we do not recognize them (Israel), they will be deported immediately,” Ibrahim said on Wednesday.
He made the remarks following reports that an Israeli holding dual passports had managed to enter Johor.
The PM said relevant government agencies were investigating reports of Israelis entering Malaysia by using dual citizenship documents.
The Johor government urged the Home Ministry and relevant agencies to investigate the operation of Network School in Forest City, which was alleged to involve Israelis.
Malaysia, a staunch supporter of the Palestinian cause, does not recognize Israel and bars Israeli passport holders from entering the country.
A number of countries, including Indonesia, Pakistan, Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and others, do not recognize Israel and maintain no diplomatic relations with the regime.

Israeli occupation forces cut and uprooted dozens of olive trees on Wednesday during a new land‑clearing operation in the village of Zububa, west of Jenin in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.
The bulldozers invaded agricultural areas located near Palestinian homes and destroyed roughly two dunams of farmland, uprooting around 40 long‑standing olive trees.
Zaki Jaradat, head of the Zububa village council, said the uprooted trees belong to citizens Ibrahim Abdul-Qader Jaradat and Munir Ahmad Yousef Jarradat.
He stressed that the area had not received any prior demolition or clearing notices, and that the bulldozing took place directly adjacent to residential homes.
Jaradat added that Israeli forces have destroyed nearly 3,000 trees in Zububa since the beginning of the year, as part of continuous invasions and land‑clearing operations that have expanded across the village. … Full article

WEST BANK – The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Wednesday morning began demolishing Palestinian-owned structures in the southern areas of Jenin Governorate, as part of a broader campaign of destruction across the West Bank.
According to local sources, IOF troops, accompanied by military bulldozers, demolished a residential apartment and commercial storage units along the Anza Road, south of the city of Jenin.
Israeli bulldozers also demolished a factory specializing in metal fabrication, decorative ironwork, and the production of mounting structures for solar panels in the Al-Mikhed area, west of Beit Ula, northwest of al-Khalil.
The factory, which covered more than 800 square meters, was jointly owned by Ishaq Mohammad Al-Atrash and Rajai Al-Amleh. … Full article

Israeli airstrikes and drone attacks killed a Palestinian family of three and several other civilians across the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, as bombardment intensified in multiple residential areas amid ongoing Israeli military violations.
In Gaza City, a Palestinian man was killed, and others were wounded, when an Israeli drone fired a missile at a group of civilians near the Khalil al‑Wazir Mosque in the Sheikh Ejleen neighborhood southwest of the city.
he Shuja’iyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City, was also struck by renewed artillery fire, with residents reporting continuous explosions and extensive damage to homes and civilian infrastructure.
In central Gaza, four members of one family were killed at dawn in Deir al‑Balah when Israeli helicopter gunships bombed their home. … continue

Here is the bottom line: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has no intention of leaving Gaza, either before Israel’s general elections—likely to be held in October—or after. Conceding an inch from the roughly 70 percent of the territory his army currently occupies in Gaza will be considered a weakness by the majority of Israeli voters and would result in an open revolt within his extremist coalition.
He has made his intentions clear time and again. Recent statements by Israel’s political leadership have only reinforced that reality, with officials insisting that Israel must maintain indefinite military dominance over the Strip and explicitly rejecting any framework that requires a full withdrawal of troops. To Netanyahu, the military footprint in Gaza is a permanent fixture, not a temporary bargaining chip.
Some may argue that Netanyahu’s statements are merely political fodder aimed at prolonging his career and avoiding the disastrous outcomes awaiting him—in terms of state investigations and court trials—should he be ejected from power. However, his extremist policies throughout his entire career at the helm of Israeli politics say otherwise. … continue

For decades, the slogan of “restricting arms to the state” has been presented as a universal principle of sovereignty and state-building. Yet a closer geopolitical examination reveals a striking inconsistency: the doctrine is aggressively promoted in countries like Lebanon and Iraq, while it is largely absent from discussions in surrounding countries such as Syria, Libya, or other fragmented states where multiple armed actors continue to exist.
This selective application raises an uncomfortable question: Is the objective truly the consolidation of state authority, or is the slogan primarily employed where armed movements challenge Israeli military superiority and American hegemony?
Political philosopher Carl Schmitt argues that sovereignty ultimately belongs to whoever decides the exception.
Modern geopolitical practice appears to confirm his observation. The international order invokes legal principles selectively, depending on whether they reinforce or undermine prevailing strategic interests. The debate over arms, therefore, is not merely legal; it is profoundly political.
The Lebanese case illustrates this contradiction with exceptional clarity. … continue

Washington is “seriously pushing” and escalating its efforts to dismantle the Iraqi resistance factions that supported Gaza during the genocide, according to sources cited by the New Arab on 14 July.
Political sources and people close to Baghdad said the US is “seriously pushing a plan to strip Iran-backed Iraqi armed factions of drones and advanced long-range missiles with no extension.”
The report confirms that US President Donald Trump’s administration has “hardened its stance” on the Iraqi resistance, which not only has backed Gaza and Lebanon during Israel’s wars but also inflicted heavy losses on US assets during the 40 days of war imposed on Iran in late February.
The US “will not accept any weapons that are not registered with the Iraqi state,” it goes on to say.
The report coincides with the new Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s visit to Washington. […]
Over the past few years, Iraq has held talks with Washington on the potential withdrawal of US forces from the country. While the US military has reduced its presence, it has not signaled a willingness to fully withdraw, and has insisted on a transition toward an “advisory” role.
Iraqi resistance factions demand full US withdrawal before full disarmament can be discussed. – Full article

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman says the country has no plans to return to negotiations with the United States as long as Washington violates its commitments under the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between the two countries last month.
Esmaeil Baghaei said on Wednesday that Iran is currently focused on repelling and retaliating against US attacks on its territory.
“We currently have no plans for negotiations and are focused on defense,” Baghaei said in response to claims by the US that its ongoing attacks on Iran would force Tehran back to the negotiating table.
The spokesman said Iran no longer considers itself bound by the terms of the MoU signed with the United States on June 17, citing Washington’s repeated violations of its commitments under the agreement. … continue
Senate blocked defense bill Monday amid frustration with administration’s return to war and lack of transparency
By Blaise Malley | Responsible Statecraft | July 15, 2026
Congress returned to Washington DC this week after its July 4 recess. With President Donald Trump having recently declared the memorandum of understanding with Iran “over” and with the two countries exchanging attacks, the war has predictably taken center stage.
Congressional Democrats have been mostly unified against the war, but this week has presented opportunities for members to use new vehicles to express their opposition via the power of the purse. On Tuesday, every present Democratic Senator voted to block debate over the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which authorizes the appropriation of Pentagon funds. The bill, which needed 60 votes to advance, failed by a 50-46 tally.
The NDAA typically proceeds in a relatively bipartisan manner, but the warning signs were apparent in June when nine Democrats voted against advancing the bill out of the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC). Several Democrats framed their opposition as, in part, a rejection of the war in Iran. … continue

… Neither the Trump administration nor congressional Republicans have a plan to “pay for” the Iran War, either through a commensurate increase in taxes or reduction in spending.
Apparently, they don’t believe they ought to. “War is never paid for when you fight it,” House Appropriations Committee Chair Tom Cole (R-OK) said in a March interview. “We didn’t pay for World War II or Korea or World War I … so I don’t think [the cost of the Iran war] should be offset.”
Rep. Cole is wrong. Taxes were levied in 1914, 1916, 1917, and 1919 to fund World War I; in 1940, 1941, 1942, and 1944 for World War II; and in 1950 and 1951 for the Korean War. Cutting taxes during major conflicts and financing them with the national debt is a post-9/11 contrivance, unique to the US wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and now Iran. “How do you pay for it?” is a question imposed on many policies, but war is not one of them.
Interest on the national debt is an example of the Iran War’s indirect costs, which cover broader budgetary and economic costs like veterans care and inflation. … Full article

Baghaei said Washington continues to reveal “a new aspect of its hatred toward Iran with each passing day,” stressing that the United States is committing repeated violations of international law during its war on the Islamic Republic.

MOSCOW – Russia will continue to seek a list of the alleged victims of the Bucha provocation from the next UN secretary-general, Russian Permanent Representative to the United Nations Vassily Nebenzia, stated.
Earlier in July, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said current UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres had avoided answering questions about the list of those allegedly killed in Bucha.
“We will keep raising the issue until we get an answer. What we have been told so far is a sham,” Nebenzia said when asked whether Russia would continue pressing for the list after the UN secretary-general changes.
In April 2022, the Russian Defense Ministry said that photographs and videos published by Kiev, which purported to show alleged crimes committed by Russian troops in the town of Bucha in the Kiev region, were another Ukrainian provocation. According to the ministry, no local residents were harmed by any violent acts while the town was under Russian control. … Full article

A French court is set to hold a hearing on the case of Anna Novikova this Wednesday—the founder of the humanitarian group SOS Donbass, who has now spent more than six months behind bars in France.
Novikova’s ordeal, according to Russia’s human rights commissioner Yana Lantratova, began with “an absolutely absurd denunciation” lodged by the Union of Ukrainians in France.
The charges stem solely from Novikova’s charitable work — collecting food, medicine, and clothing for residents of Donbass. She is vice-president of the association and has repeatedly traveled to Donetsk and Lugansk as a volunteer.
Lantratova condemned France’s actions as a “cynical double standard” — noting that Paris has no qualms about sending long-range missiles to Ukraine, yet prosecutes a woman collecting baby diapers for shelling victims as if she were a dangerous spy.
Novikova and her French colleagues — who have also been arrested — were trying to open Europeans’ eyes to the crimes of the Kiev regime in Donbass, calling on Europeans to pay attention to them, Russian correspondent Yevgeny Poddubny said. … Full article

The criminal case against SOS Donbass organizer Anna Novikova is part of France and EU’s broader policy of “intimidating dissenters and neutralizing them to suppress domestic opposition to the official hostility to Russia,” independent French geopolitical analyst Come Carpentier de Gourdon told Sputnik.
“In fact any support of Russia, even by quoting or circulating news reports, opinions or comments from Russian (state) media is considered in France as connivence with the enemy and therefore potentially treasonous,” with Russia deemed “de facto an enemy country,” the observer pointed out.
But the prosecution may face problems, because the law “is far from clear” regarding humanitarian aid, “and any trial can become very controversial as the accused may object the French Government’s position: Ukraine is not an ally of France or a NATO member, France has not declared war on Russia.”
“Therefore objections can be raised to the claim that assistance to the Donbass and denunciation of Ukrainian actions there is tantamount to supporting Russia’s military campaign.”
Nevertheless, “other EU countries” should be “expected to adopt similar measures or laws,” the analyst fears. … continue

A district judge in Payette County, Idaho, today revoked the bond for 23-year-old Andrea Shaw, the Idaho mother charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her 18-month-old twins.
Bail was initially set at $2 million. But today’s decision means that Shaw will not be eligible for release on any amount of bail.
Shaw was indicted by a grand jury and arrested on June 30 on allegations that she deliberately suffocated her twins, who died on May 1, 2025. Prosecutors allege the children were killed while sharing a bed in their home.
Shaw, who pleaded not guilty, has consistently denied the allegations. She alleges that her twins’ deaths were caused by the vaccines they received at a routine doctor’s appointment just over a week before they died. The toddlers both had documented adverse reactions to the shots.
In a motion filed Monday, defense attorney Joseph Filicetti argued that the $2 million bond is excessive and should be reduced to $100,000 with reasonable release conditions.
Prosecutors opposed any bond reduction, arguing that the evidence supports the murder charges and that Shaw should remain in custody.
Prosecutors said the court had been generous in granting the bond, which, in the state’s opinion, Shaw is not entitled to.
Bond is discretionary in capital cases, the prosecution said, and they suggested that she should not be allowed near her new infant. … continue

French investigators pulled Pavel Durov back into a Paris courtroom last week for a fourth round of questioning, holding the Telegram founder for more than six hours in a case that has run for nearly two years without producing evidence of a crime.
Durov’s legal team told AFP that “almost two years after the indictment of Pavel Durov, there is still no evidence to establish the validity of the charges.” They have filed appeals in France and before European courts, and they intend to keep contesting how the case has been run.
France is not prosecuting Durov for anything he wrote or posted. Prosecutors accuse him of complicity in crimes that other people committed on Telegram, tying the charges to what they call weak moderation and a reluctance to hand over user data on demand. The theory makes the builder of a communications tool answerable for the private messages that pass through it. … continue

Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil filed a federal lawsuit on Tuesday against the Heritage Foundation, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and others, accusing them of participating in a coordinated effort to retaliate against him for his advocacy on Palestinian rights, Anadolu reports.
Khalil said the case was brought under the Ku Klux Klan Act, a Reconstruction-era civil rights law designed to combat conspiracies to deprive individuals of their constitutional rights.
“Today, I sued the Heritage Foundation, Stephen Miller, a Columbia affiliate, and others under the KKK Act,” he said, adding that this lawsuit is about “accountability and justice.”
Khalil, a lawful US resident and a former Columbia University graduate student, was detained last March without a warrant by immigration officers in New York City and transferred to a detention facility in Louisiana, where he was held for months.
In January, a US federal appeals court ruled that a judge had no jurisdiction to order the release of Khalil. … Full article

Hamas’ decision to dissolve its committee governing the Gaza Strip was not a trick or simple gesture; the movement has long sought to hand over control of the territory’s civil administration. While the Zionists have claimed that Hamas governing the territory has long been the key impediment to “peace”, nothing could be further from the truth.
Despite the Israeli-US refusal to implement the agreed-upon terms of the Gaza ceasefire, never entering into the second phase of the agreement and remaining in limbo instead, Hamas recently took a measure that aimed to show the international community that it was willing to take the initiative in good faith. Immediately, the Israelis and their defenders began to invent narratives arguing that Hamas had engaged in some kind of trick, while asserting that the Palestinian group needed to disarm for the second phase of the agreement to begin. … continue

Israeli Defence Minister Yisrael Katz defended the widespread destruction in the Gaza Strip during a visit to northern Gaza on Sunday, describing it as “the result of a well-thought-out policy” and announcing plans to establish three military outposts inside the territory.
In an interview broadcast Monday by Israel’s Channel 14, Katz was asked how he felt about the destruction in Gaza. He replied: “It feels good, doesn’t it?” adding that “all of this (destruction) is the result of a well-thought-out policy aimed at eliminating threats.”
Katz said Israel had shifted from what he described as a strategy of temporary military raids to a more permanent presence.
“Instead of the raid method—entering and exiting—the Israeli army is inside, the terrorists are outside, and the houses are destroyed,” he said.
According to Channel 14, Katz also outlined a new strategic objective of establishing a permanent Israeli presence in northern Gaza. … Full article

At least 11 Palestinians, including the director of the police station in Jabalia refugee camp, and several police officers, were killed Tuesday in a series of Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian officials.
The strikes came amid continued Israeli violations of the ceasefire that took effect on Oct. 10, 2025.
The bodies of seven Palestinians, including a woman, were taken to Al-Shifa Medical Complex and the American field hospital after an Israeli strike near Shadia School in the Al-Falouja area west of Jabalia refugee camp, a medical source told Anadolu.
In a statement, the Gaza Interior Ministry said those killed included Col. Mohammed Marwan Salem, director of the Jabalia refugee camp police station, along with several police officers and personnel, after an Israeli strike targeted a police post in the area.
An Israeli drone struck the police post in an area crowded with tents sheltering displaced Palestinians and temporary evacuation centers, witnesses told Anadolu.
Two Palestinians were also killed in Israeli shelling of a tent southwest of Gaza City, a medical source said.
In a separate incident earlier Tuesday, one Palestinian was killed and three others were wounded when an Israeli drone struck a tent housing displaced people near the Tayba Towers area west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, the source added.
The identity of the person killed in that strike was not immediately available, and the conditions of the wounded were unknown.

Israeli forces demolished two Palestinian-owned homes in Hebron, in addition to demolishing residential and agricultural structures in Qalqilia, and filling three water wells in Tubas. Another citizen was compelled to demolish his commercial shop in the Al-Jalazone refugee camp, north of Ramallah.
According to Osama Makhamra, a local media activist reported that Israeli forces demolished the home of the citizen Osama Issa Musaf and filled a water well, in the village of Al-Deirat, south of Hebron in the southern West Bank. He added that the home was shelter to two families, consisting of 12 citizens, and measuring an area of 230 square meters.
The army also filled in a water well with a capacity of 200 cubic meters which supplied homes in the area.
Makhamra stated that occupation forces assaulted the citizens that were present, noting that a number of citizens suffered inhalation injuries as a result of pepper spray.
Meanwhile, occupation forces demolished a citizen’s home in the village of Umm al-Khair in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron.
According to Palestinian activist Ahmad Al-Hathalin, soldiers demolished the home of the citizen Ammar Al-Hathalin, which was shelter for 8 family members and measured an area of 60 square meters.

The remarks were carried by the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation on Monday evening. The unnamed settler, who belongs to the Pioneers of Bashan movement, spoke from inside Syrian territory.
The settler claimed that the Bashan region “belongs to the people of Israel according to the Holy Torah”.

Have you ever noticed how so many Zionist social media influencers often post the exact same messaging, at the exact same time?
It turns out, according to a new investigation in Time Magazine, that these messages are part of a coordinated Israeli influence campaign targeting Americans.
The investigation profiled Brad Parscale, the former Trump campaign manager and current registered Israeli agent, whose firm, Clock Tower X, was hired last year “to conduct a digital campaign on behalf of the State of Israel”.
Parscale was paid by the Israeli government to “produce 100 original pieces of content each month, with at least 80% aimed at Gen Z audiences across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and podcasts” and to “amplify the campaign across social media and through ‘integration of narrative messaging into Salem Media Network properties and aligned distribution channels,’ referring to the Christian conservative broadcasting and publishing company where he serves as Chief Strategy Officer” and to “produce at least 50 million digital impressions per month, as well as influence how AI tools such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude, and Google’s Gemini characterized Israel and the war”.
Brad Parscale admitted to Time that “the operation was intended to prevent young conservatives from drifting away from Israel”.

State Legislator Israel Caucus to Distribute Pro-Zionist “Model Legislation” for State Representatives

In addition to controlling the Pentagon and US foreign policy, the Zionist state, through a newly created proxy, the nonprofit State Legislator Israel Caucus (SLIC), will influence state houses around the country. “Documents obtained by Drop Site News under the Florida Sunshine Law outline SLIC’s aim: to set up a system to distribute pro-Israel ‘model legislation’ to state lawmakers around the country.”
According to Drop Site News, there is little public information about the group that emerged from an Israeli government-funded junket for American politicians. The cofounder of SLIC is Michael Gottlieb, a Democratic state legislator in Florida, and a booster for Israel (he passed HB 187, updating the legal definition for antisemitism, and sponsored HB 8045, a bill to designate February 29, 2024, as “Israel Day at the Capitol”). … continue

For more than three decades, from the halls of the South Carolina statehouse to the upper echelons of the United States Senate, Graham was a defining figure of the Republican Party establishment.
More than just a politician, he was the Senate’s most durable neoconservative hawk—a man who embodied the “invade the world, invite the world” political order. His career was characterized by a relentless drive to project American military power abroad, an unyielding devotion to Zionist causes, and a long-standing willingness to champion mass migration, even as Republican voters began to gravitate toward populism. … continue

Omani Foreign Minister Badr Al-Busaidi said on 13 July that the most dangerous threats in the region come not from Iran but from Israel, while lambasting the “myth” of the policy of “containment” that has for years targeted the Islamic Republic.
“The gravest threats to Gulf security do not originate within the region itself. Rather, they stem from decisions taken outside it – above all, in Tel Aviv. That conclusion is now difficult to dispute,” the foreign minister wrote in an opinion piece released by Le Monde on Monday.
Al-Busaidi added that Tehran “did not constitute an existential threat.”
He criticized the expansion of the US military presence across the region, saying it did not provide protection or benefit the countries of the Gulf.
“The enormous military expenditures across the region, the expansion of US military bases in the Gulf, and the maintenance of an extensive US military presence – intended to provide protection from afar – were all built and sustained at tremendous cost, yet without providing any real benefit,” the top Omani diplomat went on to say.
He added that the latest war proved that the US, Israeli, and Arab “policy of containment was little more than a myth – a fact that is now acknowledged even by those who, until recently, believed that more than 45 years of costly containment represented a necessary evil.” … continue

US forces had targeted four locations in the southern province of Bushehr, marking the third consecutive night of US military action against the Islamic Republic, Iranian television reported on Tuesday.
A security official in Bushehr province said that based on initial assessments, there were no human casualties from the strikes. The official added that the situation in Bushehr remained calm and that relief, service, and security agencies were on standby.
The reports came after Iran’s Fars News Agency said explosions had been heard in the cities of Bushehr and Jaghadak in the south of the country.

… CENTCOM claims that its objective in using force against Iran in the Strait of Hormuz is to degrade Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping, employing precision munitions against Iranian coastal defense systems, missile and drone sites, and maritime capabilities. Here’s the next problem… Iran is firing from more than 1,000 locations along the 171-mile coast stretching from Bandar e Lengeh in the north to Sirik in the south. If CENTCOM could destroy all missile and drone sites along the coast, it still leaves untouched the missile and drone launch sites in the interior of Iran that can reach the Strait.
In other words, the US does not have enough Tomahawk and JASSMs in inventory to degrade Iran’s ability to attack non-compliant ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
I also want you to focus on the fact that Iran has a much easier task in retaliating against the US attacks. The US is carrying out air and missile operations from less than 10 bases — i.e. two in Jordan, one in Kuwait, one in Bahrain, one in Qatar, one in the UAE and one in Oman. All Iran has to do every time it is attacked is to pummel those same seven bases repeatedly until they are no longer capable of supporting US military operations. Instead of trying to hit 1,000 targets — many which are protected by caves or underground sites — Iran only has to focus on the limited number of bases hosting US forces and operations. This is why Trump’s latest war is doomed to failure. – Full article

It also defended the force’s regional role, saying its contributions to regional peace, security, and human dignity, particularly through its fight against the Daesh Takfiri terror group, were evident to all. … continue

“We’re not part of a coalition pushing for continued financial and military aid to Ukraine,” Radev told bTV during a press conference in France on Tuesday.
“We don’t provide aid of that kind, because I believe the way to resolve this conflict is through a strong diplomatic effort to end the escalation rather than by prolonging it by military means,” he added. … continue
The anti-ballistic coalition cobbled together by Europe and Ukraine may not be a formal alliance, but in reality, it is conceived as such, Swedish air defense expert Mikael Valtersson tells Sputnik.
Hence, if one country is attacked with ballistic missiles, “the combined ABM capacity will be utilized to defend member states,” the pundit notes.
In his opinion, this initiative is a blatant attempt by pro-Ukraine hawks to “sneak” new members into a united European defense structure, and “thereby bypass possible vetoes against Ukraine joining NATO.”
The project also seeks to:
- push EU closer to a centralized European superstate
- funnel billions to Europe’s defense giants
European leaders talk big on local ballistic missile defense when they rely on US Patriots and Israeli Arrow 3s for their shield, and homegrown high-end interceptors are at least a decade away, notes the analyst.
As for Ukraine’s so-called “battlefield experience,” so hyped by Europe, it’s the result of Kiev’s “calculated information warfare” peddling misleading bravado about allegedly downing Russia’s ballistic missiles when their own Western interceptor stocks have run dry, argues the expert.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has called the “coalition of the willing” a coalition of warmongers, adding that it was a group of countries that did not want peace.
“This is a coalition of warmongers, this is the group of countries that does not want peace, wants to continue the war,” Peskov told reporters.

Germany will fund the purchase of 50,000 attack drones for the Ukrainian military, Reuters has reported, citing informed sources.
Ukraine has intensified its drone attacks on energy infrastructure and residential areas inside Russia in recent months amid continued setbacks on the front line, targeting the country with several hundred UAVs per day on average. Among other things, there has been an increase in incidents where FPV drones, including AI-guided models, have hit passenger buses and private vehicles.
On Wednesday, at least 11 civilians were killed and a dozen others wounded in drone strikes across Russia, according to local authorities. Moscow has responded to these attacks by launching large-scale missile and UAV raids against military-related targets in Ukraine.
The drone order made by the German government involves low-cost Shrike first-person-view UAVs, Reuters said in an article on Sunday.
The quadcopters in question are produced by Ukrainian manufacturer SkyFall and rely on software from US firm Auterion. They are designed to autonomously track and engage moving targets in the final phase of the flight, it explained. … Full article

On 8 July 2026, the leaders of thirty-two nations signed a communiqué in Ankara committing their countries to spend five percent of GDP on defence. They announced forty billion dollars in counter-drone procurement in a single forum. They declared that Europe would now shoulder its own security, that the era of American protection was over, and the era of European rearmament had begun. The ceremony was filmed. The handshakes were photographed. The press releases were drafted in advance.
What was not filmed, not photographed, and not in any press release was the answer to a simple question: by whom?
Because the architecture required to service that demand was not assembled in Ankara. It was not assembled in the weeks before the summit, or in the months of diplomatic preparation that preceded it. It was assembled quietly, contract by contract, factory by factory, advance payment by advance payment, over three years, while a war was running, while a court was issuing warrants, and while the governments committing to that architecture were telling their publics, with straight faces, that they had grave concerns about possible human rights violations.
This is an investigation into that architecture.
What it involves: a former Rafael Advanced Defense Systems sales executive who now chairs Germany’s parliamentary subcommittee on arms-export control. A joint venture in Brandenburg, founded by veterans of Rafael, Israel Aerospace Industries and Elbit Systems, already producing Israeli autonomous counter-drone systems since April. A German government that imposed an arms embargo on Israel, then lifted it three months later to sign a two-billion-euro missile deal through an entity it could call German. A seven-billion-euro financial commitment to Israel’s state arms manufacturer that predates by three years the signed letter of intent for Rafael to, according to Hasepost, acquire the Osnabrück plant outright, not as a production partner, but as its owner, placing more than 2,300 German workers inside a facility owned by Israel’s state arms manufacturer. We will also address the legal dimension no one has yet put to either government, asking whether the deal requires Washington’s active approval under US export-control law, and what happens if the answer is yes.
Nobody announced that decision. Nobody debated it. Nobody voted on it. It was made the way the most consequential decisions in modern governance are made, and that is in procurement files, in subsidiary registrations, in letters of intent, in cooling-off periods that do not exist, in advance payments that bind governments before parliaments have spoken, all this at the speed of bureaucracy, which is faster than journalism and slower than memory.
The script running through every German newspaper about Volkswagen’s empty plant in Osnabrück goes like this: an Israeli arms company wants the factory, Qatar is offended, jobs are on the line, someone needs to fix it before Lower Saxony loses another thousand workers to the crisis eating through German industry. Sympathetic frame. Clean villain. No further questions asked, because no further questions are welcome.
The story those newspapers are not telling is the one you are about to read. … continue
Ashes of Acacia | July 13, 2026
Since breaking ground on a multi-billion dollar luxury resort in Albania, the Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump-led project has done more to reveal a corrupt Zionist pay-for-play scheme than it has to shed light on one of the jewels of the Earth that had gone unnoticed until it fell into the hands of the pair of real estate scions, at least as their recounting of the tale of how it came into their purview would have others believe. After protests initially overran the construction sites of the development across Albania’s Adriatic coast, that civil unrest against the project amplified to such an extent that over 100,000 Albanians took to the streets of their nation’s capital, Tirana, as part of a civilian-initiated referendum against the resort. The movement, which has become known as the “Flamingo Revolution” due to the protected wildlife on Sazan Island and the adjacent Albanian mainland coast jeopardized by the Kushner-backed project, has led the country’s largest protests since the fall of communism in Albania during the early 1990s. After that civil unrest proved to be enough to effectuate an investigation led by Albania’s anti-corruption task force; the early revelations from that inquiry have already put the project’s future into doubt, a development that threatens to turn the development from a luxury resort idealized as a city upon a hill into a castle made of sand being swept into the sea.
Albania’s anti-corruption investigators have turned their attention to Miami-based businessman Artur Shehu as their probe has gone underway. Investigators have zeroed in on Shehu, who sold property that he owned on Albania’s Adriatic coast to the Kushner-led company Atlantic Incubation Partners LLC, and his associates due to links they allege exist between them and an international drug trafficking ring and suspicions that the real estate empire Shehu amassed that he was able to profit from through his sale to Kushner was built through forged property records. Although Shehu’s lawyer, Kujtim Cakrani, issued a statement on behalf of his client denying all of the accusations made against him by Albania’s Special Structure Against Corruption and Organized Crime (”SPAK”), Cakrani also acknowledged that the country’s anti-corruption agency has issued a warrant for Shehu’s arrest on charges that he has laundered money for drug gangs. … continue

The British government announced Monday that it will designate Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps under new national security powers, deepening already strained relations between London and Tehran, The Guardian reported.
Rather than formally proscribing the IRGC under the “Terrorism Act”, the government will classify the Iranian military body as an organization involved in “foreign power threat activity.” The new mechanism carries consequences comparable to “terrorist proscription” and would criminalize certain forms of support or assistance once approved by Parliament.
The designation marks a significant shift in Britain’s position after previous Conservative governments declined calls to formally ban the IRGC, partly because it is an official component of the Iranian state and armed forces. … continue

Fergie Chambers, a communist philanthropist and heir to the Cox family fortune, has been jailed in Ibiza, Spain, on the orders of the US Department of Justice. According to a sealed indictment seen by The Grayzone, Chambers now awaits extradition to Washington on dubious federal charges of “international money laundering… with the intent to provide material support to and resources to foreign terrorist organizations.” If deported to the US, he faces up to 30 years in prison.
On July 10, six Spanish police vehicles surrounded Chambers’ car while he drove through Ibiza with his family, before detaining him. Since his arrest, he has been denied bail and contact with the outside world. Chambers’ detention marks the first time an individual has faced extradition to the US from Spain for supporting the Palestinian cause. … continue
Palestinian Information Center – July 13, 2026
GAZA – Two Palestinian civilians were killed in new Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip on Monday, while a third was pronounced dead after succumbing to previously sustained injuries.
A medical source said that Osama Shamlakh was killed in an Israeli strike on a motorcycle this afternoon in Gaza City’s Tel al‑Hawa neighborhood.
Another citizen was killed in an Israeli drone strike on a home in al‑Maghazi refugee camp, central Gaza.
Meanwhile, medical sources announced the death of a citizen, identified as Tariq Qishta, after succumbing to injuries sustained a few days ago in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Yunis, south of Gaza.
Several people were also injured in an Israeli attack in the al‑Tawam area, northwest of Gaza City, while a young citizen was critically wounded by Israeli gunfire on Salahuddin road in central Gaza.

The family of imprisoned prominent Palestinian political leader Marwan Barghouthi confirmed that he was injured after Israeli prison guards fired a rubber‑coated metal bullet at his leg, causing bleeding and significant pain.
The incident represents a new escalation in the pattern of physical assaults and punitive measures imposed on him inside Israeli prisons, according to his family and multiple Palestinian media outlets.
His wife, Fadwa Barghouthi, stated that the attack occurred as the Israeli Prison Service circulated what she described as an incitement‑driven internal report targeting Marwan.
She said the timing coincides with the growing international momentum of the “Freedom for Marwan, Freedom for Palestine” campaign, which has recently gained support from political figures, parliamentarians, and public personalities across several countries. … continue

The Palestine Red Crescent Society said its crews responded to a Palestinian who had been fatally shot by Israeli forces near the separation barrier in the town of Bir Nabala.
A local source told Anadolu Agency that Israeli troops shot the 19-year-old near the barrier erected on land belonging to the town, hitting him in the abdomen. … Full article

WEST BANK – The Israeli occupation army razed a Palestinian house, delivered stop-work and demolition notices against other homes and structures, and carried out bulldozing operations in different areas of the West Bank on Monday.
In Salfit, Israeli forces demolished the home of Amir Naji in the town of Kafr ad‑Deek, displacing his family of seven.
In Jenin, the Israeli army delivered stop-work and evacuation notices targeting more than 10 homes, some inhabited, in the village of Deir Abu Da’if.
Similar orders also targeted swaths of cultivated land in the village, ordering owners to evacuate their lands and restore them to their previous conditions. … continue

Israel Katz, Israel’s Defense Minister, has been repeatedly making admissions that Israel has been carrying out war crimes and ethnic cleansing in South Lebanon.
In a recent interview on an Israeli podcast, Katz admitted :
I said that Southern Lebanon would become Gaza. We would apply the Rafah model.
We would destroy everything there. We would deal with them in exactly that way.
And that is what we did.
The infrastructure has been destroyed. Homes in 24 villages along the border—villages that had existed for hundreds of years and were used by Hezbollah as military outposts against Israel—have been demolished.
The army systematically flattened the villages with bulldozers and explosives. Ninety percent of the houses are gone. Between 15,000 and 20,000 homes have been destroyed.
This is far from the first open admission of war crimes that Israel Katz has made.
In an interview with Israel Hayom, Katz boasted that the goal from the beginning of Israel’s operations in Lebanon, dubbed “Operation Silver Plow,” was to ethnically cleanse and destroy Shia Muslim villages in the South of Lebanon. … Full article
Press TV – July 13, 2026
The Israeli military has demolished and burned homes in southern Lebanon, as part of its daily violations of a US-mediated framework agreement signed between the occupying regime and the Lebanese authorities in Washington.
Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported on Monday that Israeli forces were demolishing and burning homes in the southern neighborhoods of the town of Hadatha.
Israeli shelling and intermittent artillery fire were also underway between the towns of Nabatieh al-Fawqa and Kfar Tebnit in southern Lebanon.
On Sunday, Israeli forces carried out a large explosion in the southern city of Bint Jbeil. In recent weeks, Israeli forces have targeted civilian infrastructure, bombed residential areas and blown up bridges across southern Lebanon.
The latest developments came despite a ceasefire in effect since November 2024 and the US-mediated framework agreement signed on June 26, 2026.
Israel has continued its attacks despite a “ceasefire” and ongoing talks between the Lebanese authorities and the Israeli occupying regime.
The Hezbollah resistance movement has already rejected the framework, viewing it as an attempt to extract political concessions while keeping Israel’s military presence and aggression intact. … Full article

An Iranian aircraft carrying several medical patients and stranded citizens, accompanied by the official delegation of the Republic of Yemen from Tehran, landed at Hodeidah Airport in Yemen, despite Saudi aggression on the country.
Today’s aircraft is the second of its kind, following the successful landing of an Iranian civilian plane at Sanaa International Airport on July 3, breaking the blockade after transporting more than 200 Yemeni citizens, including patients and passengers stranded abroad, along with the official Yemeni delegation returning from Tehran after participating in the funeral of martyred Iranian Leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei.
Commenting on the situation, Ansar Allah movement spokesperson Mohammad Abdul Salam said Saudi Arabia’s bombing of Sanaa International Airport was a flagrant violation of Yemen’s sovereignty and a breach of the 2022 truce. He held the Saudi government fully responsible for the attack and warned that it would face consequences.
“The Saudi attack on a sovereign facility is a continuation of its previous aggression, which began with targeting the same facility in 2015,” Abdul Salam stressed.
He added, “The Saudi aggression exposes its true intentions and shows that it is behind the blockade imposed on Yemen.” … Full article

Donald Trump is not negotiating with Iran. He is negotiating with the humiliation of having failed to break it.
Beneath the ceasefires, memoranda, podium theatrics and sanctimonious appeals to “stability” lies a fact Washington cannot admit: the United States entered this confrontation expecting submission and emerged confronting its own limits.
It wanted Iran isolated, disarmed and politically obedient. It wanted its deterrence shattered, its regional influence dismantled and its sovereignty reduced to a flag, an anthem and nothing more. It failed. … continue
Proposals to move US troops from the Gulf to Israel would empower Israeli aggression and keep the U.S. entangled in pointless war
By Harrison Mann | Zeteo | July 10, 2026
You may have heard that Congress is on track to approve an alarming Pentagon funding bill that would merge U.S. and Israeli military R&D, giving the Israeli government leverage over critical defense supply chains, access to military secrets, and extra sway over the innumerable members of Congress with a soft spot for the military-industrial complex. But the Trump administration could be preparing to tether the United States to Israel’s runaway war machine in an even more dangerous way: establishing massive U.S. military bases inside Israel.
With the evacuation and partial destruction of major bases, including the regional U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force headquarters – located in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar, respectively, all fewer than 200 miles from Iran – the Pentagon is exploring safer options further west, including in Israel. Plus, the Trump-chaired “Board of Peace” is planning a 350-acre base in Gaza and has nearly completed a logistics base in Israel near the borders with Egypt and Gaza for the largely hypothetical International Stabilization Force for Gaza. And there are already hundreds of U.S. troops, including combat units, permanently based in Israel, on top of the thousands sent for the Iran war. … continue

For all practical purposes, the U.S.-Iran Memorandum of (Mis)Understanding is over. The dispute over how to manage the Strait of Hormuz in the interim has pushed the two sides back into open war. But to what end?
There is little reason to believe another round of fighting can alter the fundamentals enough to change the reality from which the two sides must ultimately negotiate. If they are fortunate, the MOU’s collapse may yield another round of talks in which the allure of reshaping facts on the ground through force has finally faded. … continue
WASHINGTON – The United States is reinstating the blockade of Iranian ports, US President Donald Trump said on Monday.
“The Hormuz Strait is OPEN, and will remain OPEN, with or without Iran. We are reinstating the THE IRANIAN BLOCKADE, so named because it is only stopping Iran’s ships or customers from entering or leaving. All other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait,” Trump said on Truth Social.
Trump also said that the United States will become a “guardian” of the Strait of Hormuz and receive a reimbursement equal to 20% of cargo shipped through the waterway.
“All other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait. The U.S.A. will be, from this point forward, known as ‘THE GUARDIAN OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT,’ but as such, and as a matter of FAIRNESS, will be reimbursed, at the rate of 20% on all cargo shipped, for any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security to this very volatile section of the World. The process and formation will begin immediately,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced the successful targeting of fuel depots and ammunition storage facilities at Jordan’s Prince Hassan Air Base, setting them ablaze in a precise retaliatory operation against US military infrastructure in the region.
The Public Relations Department of the IRGC stated on Monday morning that its Aerospace Force struck key targets at the US base, which serves as a critical hub for American forces. The operation resulted in fires raging through fuel storage areas and ammunition facilities, dealing a significant blow to US logistical capabilities and operational readiness in West Asia.
The statement said that the operation was carried out in direct response to US aggression against Iranian coastal bases.
This action forms part of the first phase of Iran’s coordinated response to recent US aggressions, including airstrikes on Iranian coastal bases and telecommunications infrastructure in the south. … Full article

TEHRAN – Iran will not allow Washington to interfere in the governance of the Strait of Hormuz, the Khatam Al-Anbiya central headquarters of the Iranian military command said on Monday.
“We will not allow the United States to interfere in the governance of the Strait of Hormuz under any circumstances,” the command said in a statement, as quoted by Iran’s state broadcaster.
US interference in shipping in the Strait of Hormuz will threaten the security of global gas and oil supplies, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesman Hossein Mohebbi said. … continue

The United States has struck two water pumping stations in Iran’s southwestern Khuzestan and southern Bushehr provinces, temporarily disrupting water supply to Kharg Island, Iranian officials say.
One person was killed and four others injured after a US projectile struck an agricultural water pumping station in Mahshahr, Khuzestan province, according to a provincial official on Monday.
Abbas Sadrianfar, managing director of the Khuzestan Water and Electricity Organization, said the RMD drainage pumping station in Hendijan, located between the cities of Mahshahr and Hendijan, was targeted by “the American-Zionist enemy” in the early hours of Monday.
Shaker Mohseni, an employee of the Zohreh and Jarrahi irrigation network operation company, was killed in the attack, Sadrianfar said. Another worker was wounded and is receiving medical treatment, he added.
The facility plays a key role in managing and draining agricultural wastewater in the region, and its continued operation is essential for maintaining the efficiency of irrigation and drainage networks, the official said.
A senior Iranian water industry official condemned the U.S. strike on the pumping station as a “clear example of a war crime.” … continue

The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) has destroyed long-range radar systems in Oman, among other US military assets and installations, as part of the fifth phase of its retaliatory operations.
In a statement published on Monday, the IRGC said that its naval forces carried out missile and drone strikes targeting an FPS long-range early warning radar and a ship-detection radar in Oman, destroying both systems. Concurrently, IRGC forces struck US military installations in the Al-Juffair area of Bahrain, where fires remain active.
“The decisive and powerful operations carried out by the Iranian armed forces have rendered the American military, which we have described as the aggressor, incapable,” the IRGC Public Relations Department stated. … continue
