Another wave focusing the same targets in Jordan:

The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) has commended the cooperation of the people and military forces of Jordan in revealing the location of the US forces in this country.

The IRGC’s Public Relations Department issued a statement early Monday, thanking Jordanian people and troops that helped the precise targeting of US assets in bases in Jordan.

“Honorable people and (troops) of Jordan, thank you for your sincere cooperation and accurate information that led to the accurate targeting of (US forces) by the warriors of Islam and the destruction of 20 shelters where the child-killing American army forces were stationed in the Al-Azraq (air base) and the killing of dozens of American terrorist forces,” the statement said.

It noted that in the 21st wave of Operation Nasr-2 (Victory02), dedicated to the martyred girls of the Third Imposed War on Iran, “with your help, the fighters of the IRGC Aerospace Force targeted the large C17 transport planes and P8 command and control planes of the invading American army at Aqaba Airport with ballistic missiles and caused heavy damage to a number of them.”

The statement added, “The aggressive American military forces, who have attacked more than ten Islamic countries in the past few decades and killed millions of Muslims, and is the main supporter of the child-murdering Zionist regime in the massive massacre of the people of Gaza and the destruction of the West Bank, (deserve to be killed) from a religious perspective, and every Muslim, wherever they can, must kill these savage murderers.”

It went on to say, “Thank you again for your efforts and cooperation, which by fulfilling your religious duty, pave the way for the liberation of Holy al-Quds.”

Kuwait:

"The land of Kuwait must not be a safe haven for a terrorist army that over recent decades has attacked at least ten Islamic countries and killed millions of Muslims," the IRGC said, adding that the U.S. military is "mahdur al-dam" under fatwas of scholars of all Islamic sects and that it is the duty of every Muslim to destroy them by any means possible.

The IRGC called on Kuwaitis to "rise to this religious duty and restore the dignity of Islamic lands."

There are at least a few serious hits taken by whatever that stuff may have been.

Reporting is a lot quieter than before; no personal introductions to new missiles, fewer rhetorical statements about tactics. Just something that looks like a daily rinse and repeat:

Phase One: Targeted drone maintenance and repair hangars used by US units stationed at Al-Sakhir Air Base in Bahrain, destroying the facilities.

Phase Two: Struck preparation hangars for Task Force 59 (TF59) vessels at Salman Port in Bahrain, destroying the structures and causing heavy damage to the vessels.

Phase Three: Targeted and set ablaze the facilities used to station, support, and equip US special naval commando forces at Camp Arifjan in Kuwait, destroying them completely, the IRGC Navy added.

The small amount of imagery shows that a hit is a bit more thorough than some previous ones.





What was called the "headquarters" in Jordan has no visible remains.

Although America is doing something, it seems to be getting lighter, as the latest pass at Shiraz reports "no casualties", which is unusual for someone, who, apparently, prefers to kill human beings than accomplish any strategic purpose.

Interesting way to defy the Senate Resolution.

Perhaps because the real story here is stock market insider trading. That's the closest thing I've seen to the truth on the western side.


Saudi Arabia may have to extricate itself:

The spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced the implementation of a maritime embargo against the Saudi regime in accordance with “siege for siege” principle.

Will the west really take over Asia with standoff weapons? Seems unlikely. But they will certainly make us all pay for them having the idea.

What we DON'T know is what were Iran's demands to even consider a 10-day pause.

BREAKING

A special letter from Leader Mojtaba Khamenei to the Pakistani leadership has been hand delivered by one of his special advisors today in Islamabad.

The key takeaway: Iran will consider a 10-day pause for discussing a longer pause, maybe 60-90 days.

That's the Iranian answer to Trump's repeated phone calls to Field Marshal Asim Munir.

Mediators propose 10-day pause to revive Iran-US MoU, source tells Reuters
9 hours ago

Iran’s parliament speaker said the United States was continuing to send military equipment to the region despite saying it wanted to end the war, adding that the Islamic Republic was prepared for further US moves on Monday.

“The Americans continue to bring new military equipment into the region and say they are seeking to stop the war. They have judged our intelligence by their own limited IQ,” Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf wrote on X.

Ghalibaf, who is leading Iran’s negotiating team, said Iranian officials had become highly experienced in assessing US tactics and had prepared accordingly.

“We have reached the level of full mastery in recognising these American tactics, and we have prepared on that basis,” Ghalibaf said.

Ghalibaf wrote Washington’s conduct would determine whether its public statements were credible.

“Actions must support those statements, not contradict them,” he said

🔺 Iran confirms it has received ceasefire proposals from mediators

Iran has received proposals from mediators aimed at halting its war with the United States, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Monday, without giving details.

“Ideas have been conveyed to us by certain mediators,” Baghaei told reporters in Tehran, adding that Iran “will spare no effort to stop US crimes.” He said diplomacy was operating alongside the military response.

Qatari mediators passed Tehran a proposal for a 10-day ceasefire that would require Iran to halt its attacks on shipping and permit traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, in exchange for a pause in U.S. strikes, according to Reuters.

A senior Iranian source said the 10 days would be used to find ways to revive the interim deal signed last month.

Asked directly about the Qatari proposal, Baghaei declined to address the specifics. He also said Iran had never been the first to breach the Islamabad memorandum, describing its position as “commitment for commitment”.

Trump says Benjamin Netanyahu “will not be arrested, in any way, shape, or form” while in the United States.

The Israeli PM is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) under an arrest warrant issued on November 21, 2024 for the war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare and intentionally directing attacks against civilians, alongside the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts.

Trump defended the Israeli prime minister by citing Iran’s alleged killings of protesters and U.S. soldiers. Trump claimed Iran “recently killed 52,000 innocent protesters,” nearly 17 times Iran’s official toll of 3,117 deaths.

Independent estimates range from Iran’s count to 7,000 deaths. No credible tally supports Trump’s 52,000 figure

IRAN HAS LAUNCHED SEJJIL TOWARD AQABAH JORDAN!

The Sejjil is one of Iran’s most advanced domestically produced ballistic missiles. It is a two-stage, solid-fuel medium-range ballistic missile with an estimated range of approximately 2,000 kilometers, allowing it to reach targets across the Middle East with little launch preparation time.

Total destruction ahead

Bahrain:

The IRGC hit and destroyed the central data infrastructure of U.S. company Amazon in Bahrain with cruise missiles on Tuesday, in retaliation for a U.S. strike on the under-construction Darkhovin nuclear power plant.

The IRGC announced its aerospace forces struck U.S. radar and air defence installations across Bahrain on Tuesday, saying the strikes were aimed at clearing the way for a larger operation.

Iran's IRGC said they destroyed a U.S. air defence system and a radar in Muharraq, Bahrain, and struck and destroyed a Patriot air defence battery in Riffa in a combined missile and drone attack on Tuesday.

The IRGC's public relations office said the strikes, the 24th wave of "Operation Nasr 2," were launched to "punish the child-killing American army for disrupting the security of the Strait of Hormuz and attacking parts of our dear homeland."

The IRGC said the destruction of the radar and air defence systems was designed to "pave the way for a larger future operation and remove obstacles to the precise targeting of objectives."

Kuwait:

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it destroyed a U.S. long-range radar site, a telecommunications centre, satellite receiving systems and a missile defence radar in Kuwait on Tuesday, and struck an MQ-9 drone hangar at the Ali al-Salem airbase.

Jordan:

The IRGC said the war US war secretary had portrayed the dead as heroes and claimed a toll "far below the real figure."

"Let it be known that in the lexicon of no nation are cowardly soldiers who use advanced weapons to kill innocent children called heroes," the statement said. "The freedom-seekers of the world will soon bring these war criminals to justice."

Rukban, a remote site near the Syria-Jordan border, has been repeatedly targeted by Iranian missile and drone strikes in recent operations against U.S. positions across the region.

Translated from Arabic
Iran's Foreign Minister, Mr. Abbas Araghchi, relays the conversation that took place between him and a Gulf ruler—most likely Prince Mohammed bin Salman—and it appears that the date of this conversation was July 8, 2025, in Mecca, the Honorable, that is, two weeks after the end of the 12-Day War.

Araghchi stopped in Saudi Arabia on his way back from the BRICS summit in Brazil.
During this visit, he met with the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan, and Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman, and this conversation took place:

Mr. Abbas Araghchi said:

When I met with one of the region's leaders, he spoke from a very arrogant position and with a joy that you could feel inside him... He said: Be certain that they will attack you... They will destroy your nuclear facilities, eliminate your missile capabilities, and destroy your oil facilities... And do not respond because they will strike you personally; they will strike your leadership.

Presenter: Who said this?
Iran's Foreign Minister: One of the region's leaders.

Presenter: Saudi Arabia, then?
Iran's Foreign Minister: Now let's not get into details; after all, we have work to do with them.

Presenter: This style of speaking resembles bin Salman's style.

Iran's Foreign Minister: Now let's not get into names—no, it applies to all of them... Let's do our work. No, their morale was all like that; they were all waiting for this event, but they were afraid. I told him there...

Presenter: Meaning, they thought the matter was over?
Iran's Foreign Minister: Yes, I told him that the issue is not as easy as you make it out to be. If they strike any point of ours, we will strike the corresponding point. If they strike our nuclear facilities, we will strike their nuclear facilities. If they strike our military capabilities, we will strike Israel's military capabilities.

And if America gets involved, we will be forced to strike the American bases in the region, because our missiles cannot reach American territory, but they can reach their bases in the region. And if they strike our oil facilities and we cannot sell oil, then no one in the region will be able to sell oil. I said this sentence verbatim.

And of course, this made the other side a bit angry, and he said: No one can threaten us; if anyone threatens us, all of Europe and all of America will stand against them. Even China will stand against them because we have very extensive trade relations with China. The flow of oil in the world is in our hands, the distribution chain and so on is in our hands, and such talk.

So I laughed and said: Sir, God forbid, we do not want to strike you. We will strike the American bases that, unfortunately, are located on your territory.

Later, we heard analyses from American and Zionist institutions, and some told us that they went to the region's countries and incited them, saying: Hold out for a maximum of one more month, and this story will end forever. Yes, Iran will strike, it will launch missiles and do this and that, but if we hold out for one month, everything will be fixed. And they prepared them to endure for a month, and it will be over.

Iran does not appear serious about a negotiated solution, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, adding that Washington remains open to diplomacy but will continue protecting commercial vessels and degrading Tehran's ability to target global shipping. Speaking at an ASEAN meeting in Manila on Wednesday, Rubio said other countries should join the effort — "we don't need them to, but they should, because they're more impacted by it than we are."

https://x.com/IranIntl_En/status/2079935040260038855

Iran International English

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio rejected Iran's interpretation of the Islamabad memorandum of understanding, saying it did not authorize Tehran to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

"The MOU does not give them the right to launch drones and missiles against commercial shipping vessels," Rubio told reporters on the sidelines of the ASEAN summit.

"It doesn't say you're allowed to launch missiles and drones against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. They chose to violate that."

His comments came after Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf cited the memorandum's provision that Iran would use its "best efforts" to ensure the safe passage of commercial vessels, saying "the era of one-sided deals is over."

Iran is facing runaway inflation and high food costs after two decades of spending "every penny" on sponsoring terrorist groups and building missiles and drones rather than on its own country, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday at the ASEAN meeting in Manila, Philippines.
Rubio said Iran's military infrastructure had suffered tremendous damage and its missile and drone capability was now "greatly diminished," describing the arsenal as a conventional shield Tehran had intended to hide behind while pursuing a nuclear program.

Another poke in the eye:

Amazon Web Services' data infrastructure in Bahrain in a retaliatory operation, describing the facility as digital eye of US Central Command (CENTCOM) and a key hub for military data analysis.

This may refer to a previous accomplishment:

...a massive enemy data center in the UAE was destroyed.”

“This center had been established in the UAE over the course of 20 years, with the assistance and investments of the Europeans, the Zionist entity, and the United States, for the purpose of controlling the region. All of the United States’ investments over the past five decades in the region went up in smoke with the destruction of its bases.”

And currently, the battering of Jordan:

25th wave of Operation Nasr 2 targeted the US King Faisal and Prince Hassan bases in Jordan with missile and drone strikes.

According to the IRGC’s Public Relations Office, the operation was carried out in response to recent US attacks on Iranian military and civilian sites. The operation, launched under the code name “Ya Hassan ibn Ali,” was dedicated to the victims of the Shajareh Tayyebeh School in Minab.

The statement said a hangar used to prepare F-15 fighter jets was struck, along with a drone maintenance facility. The IRGC said eight new MQ-9 drones were destroyed before entering service, while two additional MQ-9 drones sustained heavy damage.

The statement also said two US heavy-lift helicopters suffered significant damage after a helicopter hangar was hit. In addition, the IRGC said a strike on a US troop accommodation facility resulted in an unspecified number of American personnel being killed or wounded.

This seems to be a form of retreat, Jordan and Israel being considered farther away than Gulf bases, is supposed to be more secure.

Time is on Iran's side, while the aggressive antics are little more than a spectacle so that a party can win some elections and profit in the stock market.

Grind it up.
