Iran

  • U.S., Iran pause strikes: The U.S. ceased its two-week-long campaign of strikes on Iran on Friday evening, with no strikes announced or confirmed by the U.S. on Saturday or Sunday.
    • U.S. Central Command said on Saturday that its blockade of Iran remains in full effect, with 12 commercial vessels redirected, two disabled and two boarded as of July 25. The blockade was reimposed on July 14.
    • Iran said Sunday it had stopped its retaliatory attacks across the region after the U.S. refrained from striking Iran for a second consecutive night and third day.
    • “Over the past two nights the Americans have stopped their attacks,” army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia said, adding that because Iran’s strategy was “essentially retaliatory,” it had halted its own operations in turn.
    • A senior Iranian source told Reuters that Tehran would keep holding its fire as long as Washington maintained the pause, however, the source said Iran remained skeptical of U.S. intentions, with the prevailing view that the halt was “tactical rather than genuine.”
    • Mike Walz, the U.S. ambassador to the UN, told Fox News on Sunday that Trump had paused the strikes to open “some space” for diplomacy.
    • Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said Monday that Tehran has not requested a resumption of negotiations with the U.S. Speaking at a press conference in Tehran, Baghaei also rejected U.S. involvement in managing the conflict, saying, “This is not war management. Repeated war crimes and boasting about them are merely attempts to escape a disaster they created under the influence of the Zionist regime, and they will inevitably pay the price.”
  • NYT: Trump to avoid major escalation in Iran, for now: Trump has temporarily abandoned his plans for a major escalation of the U.S. war against Iran after advisers warned it could dangerously drain depleted Patriot interceptor stocks and trigger a wider regional war, the New York Times reported on Saturday.
    • According to the Times, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Dan Caine reportedly told Trump that renewed large-scale combat was possible but would severely reduce CENTCOM’s remaining air defenses. The Pentagon has used more than 1,200 Patriot missiles, costing over $4 million each.
    • Officials also cited threats to Gulf allies, rising energy prices and doubts that heavier strikes would force Iran back to negotiations.
    • CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper advised ending the U.S. bombing campaign around the Strait of Hormuz, saying it had reached the limit of its effectiveness and most designated targets were exhausted, according to a separate report on Sunday from Axios.
  • Iran, Ukraine accuse each other of involvement in each other’s wars: Iran’s Foreign Ministry accused Ukraine on Saturday of attacking an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea, saying an explosion killed one sailor and wounded another, according to a statement carried by Iranian state media.
    • The Ministry called the strike a violation of the UN Charter and “an act of aggression,” and said responsibility for the consequences would lie with Ukraine “and its supporters and instigators.”
    • Iran’s accusation followed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s announcement on Saturday that Ukraine had struck Russian warships and cargo vessels in the Caspian that it said were transporting military cargo between Russia and Iran.
    • Ukraine’s Security Service, quoted by RFE/RL and United24, named two ships, the Port Olya 2 and the Begey, both under Western sanctions, and said it also hit a Lukoil offshore oil platform and a Russian missile boat. Neither government’s account could be independently verified.
    • Zelenskyy separately alleged, in comments on X, that Russia has been passing satellite imagery of Gulf states and U.S. military bases to Iran, claiming a correlation between Russian surveillance and Iranian strikes on four air bases in Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait on July 19 and 20.
    • Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi spoke by phone with EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas on Saturday about the attack, and called for a firm response from the UN Security Council, the European Union and the wider international community.
  • Ship explodes in the Strait: An oil tanker exploded in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday after striking a naval mine, according to Iranian state-affiliated media, which said the vessel had strayed from the shipping route designated by Tehran. No details about the vessel were immediately available.
  • Iran claims full control over Hormuz: Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps said on Sunday that its navy had consolidated complete control over the Strait of Hormuz, claiming no vessel can now pass without accepting Iranian-imposed rules, according to a statement carried by the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim news agency.
    • The group also reported that it had forced six ships to drop anchor and accept Iranian instructions after receiving warnings on Saturday.
    • Iran’s Baghaei said Monday that the “vital waterway for global energy supplies and maritime shipping” remains closed by Iran.
    • Iran and Oman held several rounds of talks in Tehran between their deputy foreign ministers on Friday and Saturday over managing safe traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, Baghaei told Tasnim. Baghaei called the talks productive and said technical discussions were ongoing.
  • Pentagon removes four U.S. troop deaths from official Iran war casualty tally: The Pentagon removed four U.S. soldiers killed during the recent fighting with Iran from its official Iran war casualty count, instead listing them under a newly created “Overseas Operations” category, according to the Associated Press, raising questions about the true human cost on American soldiers.
    • The Pentagon’s Defense Casualty Analysis System also removed dozens of wounded troops from the tally. The new category lists the four Army personnel by name along with 207 wounded service members, although it is unclear whether all of those injuries are linked to the Iran conflict.
  • Saudi Arabia says Iran-backed groups in Iraq launched drones at oil facilities: Saudi Arabia said several drones were launched from Iraq targeting its oil facilities in the country’s Eastern Province and the Riyadh region, accusing “militias affiliated with Iran in Iraq” of carrying out the attack, according to a statement from its Defense Ministry.
  • Netanyahu to meet Trump: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will travel to Washington on Monday and meet President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday, Israeli Army Radio reported. Netanyahu said he would discuss “all the issues on the agenda, first and foremost, Iran.”

Yemen

  • Ansarallah launches strikes deep inside Saudi Arabia: A senior Ansarallah media official said the group launched an intensified wave of missile and drone strikes deep inside Saudi Arabia overnight Friday, posting footage he said showed fires burning in the kingdom’s south.
    • Strikes were reported on an Aramco facility in Jizan, as well as on Yanbu, Dhahran, Khamis Mushait airbase and areas near an airport. Saudi authorities have not confirmed the attacks.
    • The barrage came hours after Saudi airstrikes on Yemen’s Hodeidah province and Kamaran Island.
    • A senior negotiator for the group, Hamid Assem, said on Saturday that Ansarallah’s attacks on Saudi Arabia would continue as long as the kingdom maintains its blockade of Yemen, in an interview with the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim news agency in Sanaa.
    • Ansarallah announced further attacks targeting oil infrastructure in Saudi Arabia on Monday, with military spokesperson Yahya Saree saying the group targeted “sensitive facilities and points” along the crude oil supply and transport route from eastern Saudi Arabia to Yanbu on the Red Sea coast.
  • Saudi strikes hit Ansarallah positions: Attacks were reported on Ansarallah positions in the Marib and Al-Jawf provinces on Saturday, according to Yemen TV, the broadcaster of the Saudi-backed government.
    • The channel did not identify the source of the strikes but said they destroyed missile launchers, a Katyusha rocket-launching site and weapons depots in the al-Jubah, al-Safra and Majzar districts. It claimed several Ansarallah members were killed.
    • An Ansarallah official reported that Saudi strikes on Saturday targeted two pharmaceutical factories in the country.
    • Later on Saturday, clashes between Saudi-backed Yemeni groups and Ansarallah forces were reported in Al-Jawf.
  • Yemen’s transportation minister tallies damage from strikes: Ansarallah’s Transport and Public Works Minister Mohammed Qahim said on Sunday that Saudi airstrikes destroyed cranes and docks at Hodeidah Port, and threats against ships and blockade restrictions had reduced annual imports into the country from six million tons to one million.
    • Qahim said no container ships had entered for nearly five years, some goods have been banned for 12 years. He estimated the total loss to the country at $12 billion since the Saudi blockade began in 2015.
    • Hodeidah now receives only 400 to 500 containers, compared with more than 300,000 annually before the blockade.
    • Ansarallah announced a blockade on Saudi shipping through Bab Al-Mandab last Monday, as part of a “siege for siege” policy.

Palestine

  • Netanyahu threatens further West Bank escalation: Israeli forces imposed sweeping arrests and movement restrictions across the occupied West Bank after settlers killed four Palestinians in the town of Tal on Friday. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is prepared to expand military operations across the occupied West Bank, telling a cabinet meeting Sunday that troops had been ordered to “enter villages, search them, seize weapons, and make arrests,” and that Israel would “act more broadly against terrorist strongholds,” per the Times of Israel.
    • Israeli settlers set up an outpost in Tal less than 24 hours after the attack on the town, with a UK-sanctioned contractor uprooting hundreds of olive trees in the area. Settlers claimed, as they recorded the construction, that “the retaliation [against] the murderous people’s village has begun.” Read a breakdown of the first 24 hours following the attack from Drop Site contributor Younis Tirawi here.
    • Israel ordered military gates and checkpoints leading toward Nablus and Ramallah to be closed on Saturday evening.
    • One Israeli checkpoint delayed an ambulance carrying a Palestinian woman who was six months pregnant and suffering from heavy bleeding, according to WAFA. Soldiers held the ambulance for more than 30 minutes at Nablus, searched the woman despite her condition, and ordered the crew to switch off the vehicle’s engine, shutting down its medical equipment. The woman survived after reaching hospital, but lost her baby.
    • Israeli settlers were filmed on Saturday smashing Palestinian vehicles near the entrance to Al-Nashash, south of Bethlehem, Al Jazeera reported. Settlers also reportedly attacked a Palestinian resident from Deir Jarir and vandalized his truck near the Silwad–Ein Yabrud road.
    • Israeli forces fired tear gas canisters and set fire to Palestinian property in Kafr Malik on Saturday, northeast of Ramallah, as part of an ongoing raid.
    • Israeli settlers attacked the northern West Bank town of Qusra on Saturday evening, setting fire to a mosque and spray-painting racist slogans on its walls. On Sunday, another group of settlers set fire to a mosque in the Tulkarem area. Drop Site spoke with residents of Qusra about the attack in a video report available here.
    • Israeli forces arrested more than 120 Palestinians in Nablus, Tulkarm and Hebron over two days as part of a systematic campaign of collective punishment, the Palestinian Center for Prisoners Advocacy said.
    • Israeli forces also demolished nine homes and two other structures across the occupied West Bank on Monday alone, including in Jerusalem, Ramallah and Jenin.
  • Killed and wounded in Gaza: Over the past 24 hours, three Palestinians were killed—two in new attacks and one due to wounds sustained in earlier attacks—and 12 were injured in Israeli attacks across Gaza, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. One body was also recovered from under the rubble.
    • The total recorded death toll since October 7, 2023 has risen to 73,329 killed, with 174,009 injured. Since October 11, the first full day of the so-called ceasefire, Israel has killed at least 1,203 Palestinians in Gaza and wounded 3,900, while 803 bodies have been recovered from under the rubble.

    • Israeli attacks on Gaza on Saturday killed at least nine and wounded at least 36 others.
    • Israeli forces fired on the Nuseirat refugee camp, wounding a Palestinian woman in the head.
    • Israeli forces also carried out demolitions east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Three explosions and multiple strikes were reported in the area earlier, with at least two killed in the incident.

    • Footage captured by Drop Site contributor Mohamed Ahmed shows the bloody aftermath of the attack.
    • “We were sitting here because we believed this was a safe place in front of a hospital,” one journalist said. “There is no safe place in the Gaza Strip.”
  • Israel kills Gaza police chief on Saturday, internal security officer on Sunday: Israeli forces targeted and killed Col. Abdel Nasser Al-Maqadmeh, 54, director of police for the North Gaza governorate, in a Saturday airstrike on Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, according to Gaza’s Interior Ministry. Several others were reportedly wounded.
    • Israel killed Col. Wael al-Ladawi, the head of Gaza’s internal security service in central Gaza, and a second officer as they drove through Deir Al-Balah on Sunday, according to Gaza’s Interior Ministry.
    • The UN human rights office has documented at least a dozen Israeli attacks on Palestinian police in 2026, including officers directing traffic and patrolling markets. “The pattern of attacks raises concerns that Israeli forces apply no distinction between police personnel and fighters,” it said.
  • Israel greenlights multinational force in Gaza: Israel’s security cabinet approved the entry of a multinational force into Gaza on Sunday as part of Trump’s “Board of Peace” plan.
    • The International Stabilization Force, roughly 200 personnel at this stage from what an Israeli official called “friendly countries” such as Uganda and Morocco, will operate only in areas outside Israeli military control and “in full coordination” with the Israeli army.
    • The cabinet ruled that only Israel will approve which countries take part.

Lebanon

  • Israeli attacks are blocking residents’ return to devastated southern town: Residents began returning to Zawtar Al-Gharbiyeh in southern Lebanon on Friday to find more than half the town destroyed, after Israeli troops withdrew and the Lebanese army deployed under a U.S.-brokered framework, Reuters reported. At least four bodies were recovered from the town as rescue operations continue.
    • The town is one of three “pilot zones” under the deal, which requires Hezbollah to disarm in designated areas as Israel withdraws in phases. On Sunday, the Lebanese army said Israel was obstructing the handover through “systematic destruction and bulldozing of homes, bombardment and sweeps with automatic weapons in several southern areas.”
    • Lebanon’s Army said Israeli soldiers were “opening fire near army positions in Kfar Tibnit, Nabatieh Fawqa and Zawtar Al-Gharbiyeh, which hinders the implementation of its missions.”
    • Israeli forces still occupy a strip up to 10 km inside Lebanon, where they continue to systematically raze villages in violation of the agreement and international law.
    • Israeli attacks continued on Monday with artillery shelling reported near the outskirts of Tallousa and Markaba, sparking fires in the area, while Israeli forces demolished buildings in Markaba, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency.
