Iran-Israel-U.S. developments - video: 2nd ship sunk by Houthi's (10-Jul-2025) (updated)
"You have not begun to appreciate the real depth of our guilt. We are intruders. We are disturbers. We are subverters. We have taken your natural world, your ideals, your destiny, and played havoc with them. We have been at the bottom not merely of the latest great war but of nearly all your wars, not only of the Russian but of every other major revolution in your history. We have brought discord and confusion and frustration into your personal and public life. We are still doing it. No one can tell how long we shall go on doing it." -- Marcus Eli Ravage, A Real Case Against the Jews, The Century Magazine, Jan. 1928, p.346-350 (source)

U.S. Military Launches MASSIVE Drills to Prepare for WAR with China
The U.S. launched massive military drills focused on war with China in the Pacific theater this week, involving 12,000 personnel from the Air Force and Space Force, and more than 350 aircraft, with the Secretary of the Air Force noting that this exercise is "the first of its kind since the Cold War."
KJ Noh, a geopolitical analyst and Co-Host of 'The China Report' on Breakthrough News, noted that these drills send an ominous warning to the world, as the U.S. prepares for war with China, and the Trump Admin threatens to impose tariffs across Southeast Asia, based on which countries are complying with Washington's geopolitical plans.

In Video: Houthi Missiles Sink Another Ship Near YemenSouth Front
The Houthis (Ansar Allah) have released video footage documenting the July 7 deadly attack on the Liberian-flagged, Greek-owned bulk carrier ship Eternity C in the Red Sea off the shores of Yemen's Hodeidah.
In a statement claiming responsibility for the attack, Houthi military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree revealed that the ship was targeted with a drone both in addition to six ballistic and cruise missiles.
"The targeting of the aforementioned vessel came after the company it belongs to and the vessel itself resumed operations with the port of Umm al-Rashrash [Eilat], in clear violation of the ban on operations with the aforementioned port. It also came after the vessel refused calls and warnings from the Yemeni naval forces,"
"The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm their continued blockade of Israeli shipping in the Red and Arabian Seas. They reiterate their warning to all companies dealing with the ports of occupied Palestine that their ships and crews will be targeted in any area within the reach of the armed forces, regardless of the destination of those ships," the spokesman continued.
"This stance aims to compel the Zionist enemy and those behind it to lift the siege on our brothers in Gaza, stop the aggression against them, and end the ongoing war of extermination against them in full view of the entire world," he added.

UPDATE 1:
Memo to Iran: The Only Thing That Will Stop Bibi Is A Nuclear Bomb, by Mike Whitney - The Unz Review
Iranian leaders still oppose the development of nukes for religious reasons. They think that any weapon that unavoidably kills millions of innocent people cannot be morally justified. But this is not the right way to look at the issue. The reason Iran needs nukes is to save lives not to end them. Iran is not looking to expand its borders or invade other countries, but to ensure the safety of its people and the continuation of its civilization. With that in mind, it needs an arsenal that will deter foreign aggressors who use their access to nuclear weapons to advance their own foreign policy objectives.
Iran's parliament speaker: US must compensate for aggression against Iran
Iran's parliament speaker, Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf, asserts that the cessation of Israel's recent military aggression was due to the regime's failures rather than any restraint on its part.
In a live interview addressing the 12-day war by the US-Israeli alliance against Iran, Ghalibaf said that the actual Israeli casualties were significantly higher than official reports suggested.
He referenced scientific models indicating that the reported 3,500 injuries should equate to at least 500 deaths, stating, "3,500 injured should imply at least 500 dead."
Ghalibaf said that Iran contended not just with Israel, but with NATO and Western powers under US command.
He emphasized that Iran's dominance in land and air contributed to the failure of the Zionist regime, declaring, "We have disabled Israel's military and defense centers."
He noted that Iranian missile strikes during the final days of the confrontation were over 90% accurate, effectively incapacitating key Israeli military and air defense systems.
Ghalibaf claimed that Iran had unrestricted access to targets across the occupied territories, which compelled Israel to seek a truce.
[...]
"First, America must explain why it attacked us during negotiations," he questioned. "Two key issues must be clarified in these negotiations: establishing stable security in the region and ensuring Iran's economic interests."
Ghalibaf described the US as a "garbage dump" that undertakes the dirty work of Western powers.
[...]
On June 13, Israel launched a blatant and unprovoked act of aggression against Iran, assassinating many high-ranking military commanders and nuclear scientists.
On June 22, the United States officially joined Israel's war of aggression against Iran by launching attacks on three nuclear facilities in the country in violation of the United Nations Charter and the NPT.
On June 24, the Israeli regime, isolated and abandoned, declared a unilateral halt to its aggression, announced on its behalf by US President Donald Trump.

"She was only getting treatment in a medical facility. Why did they kill them?" she said, with other bodies laid out around her at a nearby hospital.

Ansarullah leaders warning to Israel: Reopening Eilat port impossible
Yemen's Ansarullah leader has declared that reopening the port of Eilat (Umm al-Rashrash) is impossible, affirming Yemen's firm stance and ongoing decision to enforce maritime sanctions against the Israeli occupation regime in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Arabian Sea.
In a televised speech on Thursday, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi emphasized that the recent events in the Red Sea serve as a clear warning to all shipping companies operating for the Israeli regime, stressing that any vessels affiliated with Israel will face decisive responses.
He was referring to the Yemeni navy's strike on the vessel ETERNITY C bound for the port of Eilat in occupied Palestine after the crew repeatedly disregarded naval warnings.

Yemeni Armed Forces target Israel's Ben Gurion airport in support of Gaza
Yemeni Armed Forces have launched a missile strike on Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport in support of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip amid Israel's genocidal war on the besieged territory.
In a statement released on Thursday, the Yemeni forces said they used a Zulfiqar ballistic missile in the operation.
The Yemeni missile attack "successfully achieved its goal" and triggered air raid sirens in more than 300 towns and cities across the Israeli-occupied territories, it added.
The operation sent millions of Zionists to shelters and halted air traffic at the Ben Gurion airport.
Also in their statement, the Yemeni forces vowed to keep developing their military capabilities and step up their battle in solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people.

Israeli soldier commits suicide after being summoned from Gaza for investigation - SabaNet
Israeli media reported Thursday that a soldier from the Golani Brigade committed suicide this week by shooting himself at the Sde Teiman military base.
The Israeli Enemy newspaper Haaretz reported that the soldier committed suicide after being questioned by the Military Investigation Police.
The newspaper added that the soldier had left the Gaza Strip to attend a refresher course, and that Military Police investigators were awaiting him in connection with a previous investigation.
The newspaper noted that the soldier's commanders decided to confiscate his weapon following the investigation. Hours later, he took his comrade's weapon and shot himself.
This is the third suicide in the ranks of the Israeli army since the beginning of July. A soldier who had fought in Gaza committed suicide as a result of suffering from what is known as "post-war disorder." Another soldier set himself on fire in his car as a result of suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after participating in fighting in Gaza and Lebanon.

Israeli Airstrike Kills Children Waiting for Food in Gaza, Al-Aqsa Hospital Says - World news - Tasnim News Agency

Amid Gaza genocide, 73 Palestinians dead under torture in Israeli prisons
Since the start of the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza, 73 Palestinians have died under torture inside Israel's notorious prisons and detention centers.
Most of the deaths occurred amid torture, medical negligence, starvation, and systematic violence since far-right Israeli politician Itamar Ben-Gvir took over the regime's so-called security ministry.
Israel enforcing Gaza evacuations with grenade-firing drones
The Israeli military has weaponized a fleet of Chinese-manufactured commercial drones to attack Palestinians in parts of Gaza that it seeks to depopulate, an investigation by +972 Magazine and Local Call can reveal. According to interviews with seven soldiers and officers who served in the Strip, these drones are operated manually by troops on the ground, and are frequently used to bomb Palestinian civilians - including children - in an effort to force them to leave their homes or prevent them from returning to evacuated areas.
Soldiers most commonly use EVO drones, produced by the Chinese company Autel, which are primarily intended for photography and cost around NIS 10,000 (approximately $3,000) on Amazon. However, with a military-issued attachment known internally as an "iron ball," a hand grenade can be affixed to the drone and dropped with the push of a button to detonate on the ground. Today, the majority of Israeli military companies in Gaza use these drones.

Iranian Enriched Uranium Is Under Rubber Of Targeted Nuclear Sites - ReportSouth Front
Israeli intelligence believe that Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium had not been removed from the Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites before they were struck by the United States last month amid Israel's 12-day war with the Islamic Republic, Reuters reported on July 10, citing a senior Israeli official.
12bytes: So all those trucks spotted going to and from the Fordo site 2 days prior to the bombing were transporting stuffed animals i guess.
The stockpiles of some 400 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent had not moved since the strikes also, the unnamed official told Reuters.
12bytes: And this "unnamed official" knows this how? Terra cards?

Israel "want[s] that necessary component to be under control too," he said, adding that "I think the Iranians understand that what the US and Israel did once we could do twice, and thrice."
12bytes: And what was it the U.S. and Israel did exactly? The psychopathic genocidal criminal ought to remember that, what Iran has done to Israel, they can do twice and thrice, and let's hope they do.
'Concentration camp': Israel's planned new city in Rafah, explained | Middle East Eye
Israel Katz is calling it a "humanitarian city", from which Palestinians will be encouraged to "voluntarily emigrate" out of Gaza.
But analysts believe the Israeli defence minister, who unveiled plans this week to confine over two million Palestinians into a small area in southern Gaza, is using distorted language.
Experts in genocide and international law say the "humanitarian city" is more akin to a concentration camp. And any talk of "voluntary emigration", they told Middle East Eye, should actually be read as forcible displacement.
The proposals are not fringe discussions. They were revealed by Katz, and appear to have the backing of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Here, we break down what we know about the plan, how it relates to months-long US and Israeli rhetoric of ejecting Palestinians from Gaza, and what the international legal implications are.
