Iran’s retaliatory operation against US military positions across the region has inflicted damage on several strategic facilities, with satellite imagery privately acquired and later published by multiple OSINT accounts on X showing impacts at major US bases in Qatar, Bahrain, and Jordan following a wave of ballistic missile and drone strikes.
The strikes, launched in response to renewed US aggression against Iran and escalating military activity in the region, targeted key nodes of the US military presence, including air bases, naval infrastructure, radar facilities, and drone operations centers. … continue

AL-KHALIL – A horde of armed Jewish settlers assaulted the family of Ibrahim al‑Jabour in the Huwara area of Yatta, south of al-Khalil, beating them and attacking them with pepper spray.
According to local sources, several members of the family sustained injuries in the settler attack, while Israeli forces prevented an ambulance from entering the area to provide medical assistance for the wounded.
Eyewitnesses said that the Israeli occupation forces protected the settlers during their attack on the family.
This incident is part of the daily settler attacks against Palestinians and their property in the West Bank.

WEST BANK – The Israeli occupation forces assaulted a Palestinian citizen and kidnapped others during raids in the West Bank on Saturday evening.
In the northern West Bank, a 25‑year‑old man was injured after Israeli forces assaulted him at the al‑Jalamah checkpoint north of Jenin.
He was later handed over to a Red Crescent ambulance crew, who provided him with first aid and transferred him to the hospital.
In Qalqilya, Israeli forces kidnapped four young men during their presence near the al‑Marj area, which is encircled by the separation wall on the eastern side of the city.
In Ramallah, Israeli forces raided the western villages of Kafr Ni’ma, Bil’in, Deir Ibzi, Ein Arik, and Khirbet Bani Harith, as well as Ajoul and Arura in the northwest of the governorate, and the town of Abwein and village of Jiljilyya to the north. No arrests were reported.

Five Palestinians, including a child, were killed Sunday by Israeli army fire, amid continued violations of a ceasefire in effect since last October, medics said, Anadolu reports.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said two Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike on a workshop in the Sabra district, south of Gaza City.
The bodies of the victims were torn to pieces in the attack that also injured a third Palestinian, the organization added in a statement.
Witnesses said an Israeli drone fired at least three missiles at a building housing the workshop in the Al-Rayes neighborhood in the district.
A medical source said a 9-year-old girl breathed her last from critical injuries she sustained from Israeli gunfire in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, the source said.
A Palestinian man also died of wounds he sustained from Israeli fire on Friday east of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, the source added.
Another Palestinian succumbed to injuries from an Israeli drone strike east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

MOSCOW – Four people were killed in the Ukrainian armed forces’ attack on facilities in Energodar, Russia’s Rosatom Director General Alexey Likhachev said on Sunday.
“Just two days after the meeting with the IAEA, we have had the bloodiest day in Energodar. And this is not a figure of speech, but a fact. Four people were killed – two women and two men – and four were wounded, one of whom was seriously injured. The routine nature of these murders never ceases to amaze,” Rosatom’s press service quoted Likhachev as saying.
He clarified that a bus stop was attacked in the morning. That afternoon, three people were killed when a drone struck a car, Likhachev added.
“What happened this morning is an ideal opportunity for the IAEA to demonstrate, through action and not just words, its commitment to the agreements reached just two days ago to maximally expedite informing the global community about all risks, incidents, and threats arising in the Energodar region,” Likhachev said.
Since April 27, the start of the large-scale escalation from Kiev, 11 civilians have been killed in Energodar, he added.

DEVOUTLY AND LOUDLY do various media organs of the establishment—CNN, The War Street Journal, The Hill, Politico or Israel’s Axios—dazzle you with flattering depictions of JD Vance’s foreign-policy stance, almost always based on unnamed sources, which have conveniently slithered out of dank corners, at this point of the election cycle. Experts in untruths, these media tell you that Vance, vice president in the Trump regime, has all-along roared about foreign-policy restraint.
If he has, it’s the least leonine roar ever heard in this neck of the woods.
Or, the most “private” political protest ever, as Politico would counter. “Private” is how this particular Deep-State tool dubs VP Vance’s foreign policy bent.

US Democratic Representative Ro Khanna said armed Israeli settlers prevented his delegation from leaving a Palestinian area in the occupied West Bank, an incident he said exposed the realities of Israeli occupation and settler violence.
Khanna, who is considering seeking the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028, told Reuters that settlers carrying US-manufactured M4 rifles surrounded the group’s vehicle on Wednesday near Khirbet Zanuta in the southern West Bank.
The California congressman had been touring the remains of a Palestinian community whose residents were driven out following repeated attacks by Israeli settlers.
“We were at a village that Israeli settlers had destroyed, they had destroyed the school, they had destroyed that village, and we were just looking at it,” Khanna said.
“And these hoodlums come in with machine guns – M4, an American-made machine gun – and they detain us. They block off the road. And then they call the IDF and the IDF is on their side, not on the side of the Americans,” he added. … continue

Outgoing Colombian President Gustavo Petro has accused Israeli cyber-intelligence company BlackCore of executing a massive digital disinformation campaign to manipulate the outcome of the country’s recent presidential elections, Anadolu reports.
The accusation was made on Friday following a razor-thin victory by challenger Abelardo de la Espriella, a criminal defense attorney openly endorsed by US President Donald Trump. De la Espriella won the June 21 runoff election by a margin of less than 1% over the ruling party’s candidate, Ivan Cepeda.
Petro wrote on US social media platform X that BlackCore deployed hundreds of thousands of automated accounts to distort public perception in the run-up to the vote.
“BlackCore, the Israeli company, deployed 500,000 bots—fake profiles—to manipulate the Colombian electorate with millions of lies about Ivan and me,” Petro said.
Describing the alleged interference as “the hardest blow to national sovereignty since the Spanish reconquest,” Petro announced a week ago that he would refuse to recognize “the legitimacy of the incoming government.” The outgoing leader has subsequently called on his supporters to launch a nationwide mobilization on July 20. […]
The accusations against BlackCore follow an official report issued last month by France’s disinformation watchdog, Viginum. The French cybersecurity agency formally accused BlackCore of using hundreds of coordinated proxy accounts to target pro-Palestine figures and disrupt democratic processes worldwide.
While Petro condemned the election results, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly celebrated De la Espriella’s victory, signaling a major geopolitical realignment for Colombia. … Full article

Illegal Israeli settlers have attacked Palestinian municipal workers in the central West Bank and destroyed a farm northwest of the city of Nablus, as violations by Israeli occupation forces and extremist settlers continue unabated across the occupied territories.
The official Palestinian news agency WAFA, citing local sources, reported that the settlers assaulted municipal workers from Qabalan while they were installing an electricity line in the Ain al-Qasab area on Saturday, forcing them to suspend the work.
In a separate incident northwest of Nablus, illegal settlers attacked a farm in the al-Masoudieh area, destroying an agricultural structure, according to the head of the al-Masoudieh Land Defense Committee, Diab Haji.

Iran has firmly rejected speculation that it initiated negotiations with the United States, while doubling down on its pledge to meet any American violation of commitments with immediate and reciprocal countermeasures.
Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei categorically dismissed claims of a unilateral Iranian request for dialogue with Washington during a televised interview on Friday. However, he acknowledged that Tehran did engage with a Qatari delegation in the northeastern city of Mashhad—but clarified that the meeting occurred solely at the behest of a regional mediator seeking to facilitate discussions on recent developments, not as a US-directed overture.
Reaffirming the Islamic Republic’s steadfast doctrine of “commitment for commitment,” Baqaei stressed that Iran will not implement any obligation without corresponding action from the American side. He accused Washington of serial infractions, noting that the United States has breached the recently signed memorandum of understanding multiple times within just 22 days of its endorsement.
Specifically, Baqaei cited newly announced US restrictions on Iranian oil sales and the imposition of additional sanctions as flagrant violations of the agreement’s core articles. “Iran has already activated the necessary reciprocal responses, and this approach will continue with full force,” he declared. … continue

A shorter declaration masks deeper tensions, as Washington pushes to reshape NATO’s role from Europe to West Asia and Asia-Pacific.
By Mehmet Ali Guller | The Cradle | July 11, 2026
… Washington is seeking to adapt NATO to what it frames as a new strategic phase, described here as NATO 3.0. The so-called Donroe Doctrine centers on consolidating dominance in the Western Hemisphere, shifting more responsibility onto allies in Europe and elsewhere, and encircling China in the Asia-Pacific through partnerships.
In practice, this takes three forms:
- Europe assumes primary responsibility for its own security, including taking the lead in supporting Ukraine against Russia.
- A new order is established in West Asia under Israeli hegemony, requiring normalization between NATO member Turkiye and Israel, as well as between Israel and Syria and the Gulf states, while weakening Iran as the principal obstacle.
- NATO deepens cooperation with its Asia-Pacific partners—the IP4 countries: Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand—integrating them into its arms supply chain and gradually extending NATO’s reach into Asia.

In a video interview today with The Defender, the detective, who gave only her first name, “Jennifer,” said she and her husband were detectives in the police department of a major U.S. city with a population of over 300,000 for a combined seven years, from roughly 2003 to 2010.

A new study from Iran found that two rare birth defects — atrioventricular septal defects (AVSD) and cleft palate — occurred more often in infants whose mothers received a COVID-19 vaccine during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy compared with mothers who received the vaccine later or not at all.
Unlike studies conducted in the U.S. and Europe, none of the women in the Iranian study received mRNA vaccines — however, all of the COVID-19 vaccines available in Iran contain 0.25-0.50 milligrams of aluminum adjuvant, Children’s Health Defense Senior Research Scientist Karl Jablonowski told The Defender.

Among the findings:
- Six cases of AVSD, a congenital heart defect, occurred in the first trimester, compared with none in the unvaccinated group and one in the group of women who received the vaccine after the first trimester.

Ofcom has landed on a fresh plan for collecting the £520,000 it insists 4chan owes, and here it is in all its glory: get American police to do the British censor’s dirty work.
That, more or less, is what the regulator told The Independent this week. Asked how it intends to squeeze cash out of a company with no staff, no servers, and not so much as a spare fiver anywhere in the United Kingdom, Ofcom said it had “initiated work” to chase the money and would pursue it “regardless of where the firm is based.”
For a company that keeps everything abroad, a spokesperson said, the job “can involve engaging debt recovery and financial investigation specialists in the jurisdiction where companies do have assets, as well as local law enforcement agencies and courts.”

Distribute more than twice, and the penalty climbs to 1 billion won, about $660,000.
The measure amends the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, known at home as the “fake news” law. It targets publishers with more than 100,000 subscribers or monthly views, the threshold where a voice starts to carry.

Germany’s upper house of parliament voted Friday to advance a proposal that would make it a criminal offense to publicly deny Israel’s right to exist or call for its destruction, Anadolu reports.
The measure, introduced by the western state of Hesse, would impose penalties of up to five years in prison or a fine for statements made publicly that deny Israel’s existence or urge its destruction — but only if they encourage “a willingness to commit acts of antisemitic violence or arbitrary acts.”
The legislation has drawn sharp criticism from civil rights groups and free-speech advocates, who argue it could chill legitimate criticism of Israeli government policies and erode the broad protections for freedom of expression guaranteed by Germany’s Constitution.
Following approval by the Bundesrat — which represents the country’s 16 federal states — the bill now heads to the Bundestag, the directly elected lower house of the national parliament. Lawmakers are expected to take it up after the summer recess.

UK-registered charities are promoting programs that allow participants to visit illegal Jewish settlements in occupied Palestine, train with the Israeli army, stay in settlements, and take part in Zionist education initiatives linked to migration to Israel, according to an investigation by Middle East Eye (MEE) published on 10 July.
The United Jewish Israel Appeal (UJIA) promotes Israeli gap-year programs run by organizations such as Aardvark and Bina, which include visits to occupied Palestinian territory, including Hebron, the Golan Heights, and locations throughout the occupied West Bank.
UJIA-promoted programs also connect participants with the Israeli army through the Marva course, an army-run program that allows participants to live on a military base for six to eight weeks, undergoing basic training and meeting soldiers.
The investigation examined Bnei Akiva, a religious Zionist youth movement supported by UK charities. It runs activities and gap-year programs in Israel to foster commitment to the Jewish people, Land of Israel, and Torah.
Bnei Akiva’s Mechina Olamit program houses participants in Migdal Oz, an illegal settlement in the occupied West Bank, and also provides preparation for military service, including physical training and military activities. … continue

Few organizations in the world of international humanitarian aid generate as much quiet fascination as IsraAID. Founded in 2001 and operating in over 60 countries, the Israeli NGO has pulled survivors from earthquake rubble, treated trauma survivors on the shores of Greece, and evacuated Afghan judges from Taliban-controlled territory. It has been praised by heads of state, celebrated by Hollywood, and quietly funded by some of the most powerful Jewish institutions in the world. Yet in June 2024, writer Mike Peinovich published a detailed Substack piece that stopped many readers cold, raising questions about what IsraAID truly represents and whose interests it ultimately serves.
He demonstrated that IsraAID had been quietly operating refugee centers on the Greek island of Lesbos since 2015, positioning itself at the very front door of Europe’s most consequential migration moment in modern history. Peinovich drew on YNET reporting that stated plainly, “Greek refugee aid centers are mainly operated by Israelis; in Lesbos there is an Israeli school for Syrian, Iranian, Iraqi and Afghan refugees; and it is all part of a joint plan to revolutionize the concept of Tikkun Olam and Jewish volunteering around the world.” … continue

Three Palestinian hospital workers were injured Friday when an Israeli quadcopter drone dropped a bomb in the courtyard of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, in the latest violation of the ceasefire in force since Oct. 10, 2025, Anadolu reports.
Gaza’s Health Ministry called for urgent international protection for medical facilities and health workers, saying the attack was part of Israel’s continued violations of the ceasefire agreement.

Kamal Adwan Hospital is operating on a very limited basis after Israeli forces stormed and extensively destroyed the facility during military operations in November and December 2024.

Israel has escalated its destructive attacks on south Lebanon, refusing to withdraw its occupation forces from the country, despite contradictory statements from the United States.
The occupying regime conducted a drone attack on the village of Kfar Dajjal in Southern Lebanon on Friday, leaving two people injured.
Amid systematic attacks on the civilian infrastructure in the southern regions that aim to displace their inhabitants, massive explosions rocked the town of al-Khiam and the village of al-Qantara.
More Lebanese homes were blown up by the occupation forces on Thursday in violation of the alleged ceasefire.
According to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA), Israeli forces rigged and razed multiple homes across the country’s occupied towns and villages.
“Israeli occupation forces carried out a demolition operation targeting a number of homes in the town of Hadatha, in the Bint Jbeil District,” NNA reported.
The agency also reported rigging and detonation activities in the town of Houla, as well as overnight destruction of infrastructure in Khiam.
Five massive blasts in Khiam were heard across multiple areas of South Lebanon early on Thursday.
Demolitions were also reported in the town of Taybeh overnight, while Israel was simultaneously shelling the outskirts of Deir Siryan with artillery fire.
The attacks come as Israeli officials have publicly announced that Tel Aviv will not pull its occupation troops from Lebanon, despite US statements.
“We did not ask permission from any party to enter Lebanon, and we do not need permission to remain in Lebanon,” Israeli minister of military affairs Israel Katz said on Thursday. … Full article
Volkswagen’s plans for a defence partnership with Israel’s Rafael have been vetoed by the German automaker’s Qatari investors, media reported Friday, Anadolu reports.
Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund, Volkswagen’s third-largest shareholder, rejected management’s proposal to manufacture missile components and military vehicles at the company’s Osnabruck plant, the Bild newspaper reported.
The move comes after Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume said in March that the company will stop manufacturing Volkswagen Group vehicles at Osnabruck starting in 2027 and confirmed talks with several defence firms about shifting the plant for military vehicles production. Blume provided no further details at the time.
The proposal has sparked significant controversy within Germany. Volkswagen employees, peace activists and opposition politicians have criticised the plan, arguing the automaker should focus exclusively on civilian production. The Osnabruck Peace Initiative (OFRI) has organised multiple protests in recent months urging Volkswagen to abandon any defence contracts.
Germany’s opposition Left Party called Volkswagen’s planned cooperation with Israel’s state-owned Rafael Advanced Defence Systems “unacceptable,” citing the Netanyahu government’s ongoing military campaigns across the Middle East, accusing it of war crimes and genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

Germany plans to close its military field camp near Erbil airport in northern Iraq by the end of September and withdraw most of its troops, the weekly magazine Der Spiegel reported Friday.
The Defense Ministry has notified parliament of the decision to shut down the camp, according to the report.
The base has faced repeated threats in recent months as tensions escalated following US-Israeli strikes on Iran. While German forces were not directly targeted by Iranian missile and drone attacks, their proximity to US units forced soldiers to spend many nights in bunkers, Der Spiegel said.
Defense Ministry spokeswoman Christiane Noack confirmed that the ministry had briefed parliament’s relevant committees but declined to provide further details on the timeline or other aspects of the withdrawal, citing the safety of deployed troops.
“This will be a matter of detailed planning—it is not a case of a hasty withdrawal,” Noack told a press conference in Berlin. “As you know, there is an exit strategy for every mission, and the path forward has now been mapped out in close coordination with our partners,” she said.
Noack added that a smaller team of military advisers will remain in the region to continue supporting Kurdish Peshmerga forces.

The Russian military’s strategy of combined aerial attacks, involving waves of strike drones followed up by ballistic, cruise or hypersonic missiles, has proven highly effective not only in the Ukrainian theater, but Iran’s defense against US and Israeli aggression, says Russian defense analyst Alexander Stepanov.
The tactic, almost impossible to defend against, involves:
- drones (slow-flying Geran-2s, faster Geran-4s or rocket-powered Geran-5s – which fly at speeds up to 800 km/h) which by themselves are “extremely difficult” to down using small arms and air defense means available to mobile fire teams
- “multiple wave” tactics designed to overwhelm and expend expensive and limited Patriot missile stocks and overload enemy air defenses, forcing Ukraine to disperse its Patriot launchers
- follow-up precision ballistic and quasi-ballistic missile attacks

Türkiye has sold its S-400 air defense systems to an unnamed Gulf country, with the announcement expected to be made on Friday.
Turkish newspaper, Hürriyet journalist Abdulkadir Selvi reported that an informed source told him Ankara finalized the sale of its S-400 systems after a deal was approved overnight on Friday.
He added that the speculated buyers are either the UAE or Qatar, noting that the information will remain unknown until an official statement is made.
Selvi noted that the US assets in the UAE being targeted by retaliatory Iranian strikes during the war on Iran were a cause for wanting an increased air defense presence. He added that the attacks “crippled the UAE’s tourism-based system,” adding that it “has been trying to acquire alternative defense systems” after the Iranian retaliation.
He also brought up the Israeli attack on Qatar last year as a significant reason why Doha may want new air defense systems, as Qatar’s Patriot missile system did not activate during the attack on the Hamas officials in the capital city due to “Israel” being coded as a friendly country.
“Qatar learned from this shock attack that it was unprotected against Israel,” Selvi said. … continue

Tensions between the US and Denmark over Greenland continue to rise. US President Donald Trump refuses to change his stance regarding the alleged “need” for the US to control Greenland, while the Danish government emphasizes that it will defend its territory by all possible means – even using military force, if necessary. The major issue, however, is that both countries are members of the same military alliance. Denmark believes it would be supported by its partners in a potential conflict with the US, ignoring the fact that NATO is historically led by Washington. … continue

In 2025, Donald Trump’s administration once again imposed travel restrictions on citizens of various countries, particularly in Africa, the Middle East, and the Caribbean. The measures have already produced concrete effects on international events hosted in the United States. One of the best-known cases was that of Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan, who was prevented from entering the country and, consequently, from officiating at the 2026 World Cup despite having been selected by FIFA.
Beyond their impact on sports, the restrictions raised even greater concerns at the United Nations, whose headquarters are located in New York, as they may hinder the participation of diplomats and representatives of member states in the organization’s work. Indeed, the Trump administration revoked or denied visas to Mahmoud Abbas and around 80 members of the Palestinian Authority and the PLO before the opening of the 2025 annual session of the General Assembly. Several members of the Somali delegation were also denied visas, preventing their participation in the meeting. … continue

Malian authorities announced on 9 July that militant groups with links to Al-Qaeda carrying out terror attacks in the country were trained and armed by Ukrainian specialists.
Fousseynou Ouattara, Vice President of the Defense Commission of Mali’s Transitional Council, said authorities identified militants who received training in Ukraine to carry out operations using kamikaze drones produced by Kiev.
“These young people are known, we have now added them to our lists, and we have their names,” Ouattara said.
The militants fighting the Malian government belong to a Tuareg-led separatist group, the Azawad Liberation Front (ALF), and Jamaat Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen (JNIM), an extremist group linked to Al-Qaeda.
He added that the militant groups are receiving fighters from Algeria, Mauritania, and Libya, as well as training from members of the French Foreign Legion and Ukrainian instructors. … Full article

The NATO summit held in Türkiye this week proved “humiliating” for Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday.
Zakharova noted that despite the Ukrainian leader once again pressing Western backers for more money and weapons as Russian forces continue advancing along the front line, there was “no meaningful response” to his latest “wish list.”
The July 7-8 summit in Ankara was marked by efforts to project NATO unity despite lingering disagreements over defense spending and the Ukraine and Iran conflicts. While bloc members reaffirmed support for Kiev, they announced no major new commitments, with a €70 billion ($80 billion) pledge largely repackaging existing funds.
The summit’s final declaration also omitted any mention of Ukraine’s long-standing NATO membership bid, which Zakharova described as Zelensky’s “biggest disappointment.”
“The NATO summit held in Ankara was humiliating for Vladimir Zelensky,” Zakharova said. “He once again rolled out his usual wish list, begging for missile and air defense systems… while touting Ukrainian military’s terrorist capabilities. NATO members offered no meaningful response to these appeals.” … continue

There has been a sharp escalation of Ukrainian strikes on the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, Energodar, and surrounding areas since the end of April, Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev said on Friday.
“Alexey Likhachev emphasized that since the end of April, there has been a sharp escalation in Ukrainian armed forces strikes against the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, Energodar, and surrounding areas,” Rosatom said in a statement following consultations between Russia and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Kaliningrad.
In total, since the start of escalation of Kiev’s attacks on the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant and Energodar, 7 people have been killed and 40 others have been injured, the statement said.
The Rosatom CEO once again called on the IAEA to publicly assess ongoing crimes of Kiev against the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, adding that in the absence of condemnation and criticism, Kiev is taking increasingly reckless actions against the plant and Energodar. … Full article

People suspected of taking part in an anti-draft riot in Lviv, Ukraine were apparently intimidated into apologizing on camera, according to disturbing videos shared by military-linked activists.
The unrest in the western Ukrainian city occurred Wednesday, when dozens of people attacked a draft patrol that allegedly abused a potential recruit. The footage suggests that extrajudicial measures were subsequently used to suppress discontent.
One video that went viral on Thursday shows a visibly shaken young man on the verge of tears admitting to wrongdoing and saying he would accept any punishment. It appears to have been filmed in a secluded location and was released by a serving military officer following a “disciplinary conversation” with the alleged rioter.
Another video published by a military veteran shows a group of young men being forced to shout “glory to the TCK” and apologize. … Full article/video report
