🌎 Iran has just struck 2 "hostile" targets in the Strait of Hormuz, with the likely targets being the oil tankers "NISSOS KEA" and "NISSOS KEROS" that were transiting via the southern Omani U.S-backed corridor under U.S escort and AIS switched off in the past hour. The US is running ship escorts through the southern corridor while Trump simultaneously claims he is close to a deal that will open the Strait. 2 Likes |

🌎 Washington Buys No Saudi Crude in July for First Full Month Since 1985.

🌎 President Donald Trump says "to the victor belong the spoils" to justify the United States' seizure and control of Venezuelan oil. He boasted that the initial conflict lasted only 48 minutes and that the U.S. has already recouped its wartime expenses "many, many, many times" over. The U.S. government has seized and generated more than $13 billion from the sale of Venezuelan crude oil since taking control of the country's exports in January 2026, per FT. Only about $300 million has been officially and publicly traced as returned back to Caracas. The funds are being kept in a dedicated U.S. Treasury account. According to statements made by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the money moves through a Citibank account and is audited by the accounting firm KPMG. Congressional Democrats, led by House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Robert Garcia, escalated an investigation into the administration. They are demanding a full, transparent accounting of the $13+ billion, calling the lack of congressional oversight a "black box." 1 Like |

🌎⚽ UEFA has stated that they intend to continue their boycott of FIFA competitions. FIFA's Rabat meeting in which Gianni Infantino was backed by some senior FIFA leadership members has not changed this. “UEFA’s associations were very clear about the conditions attached to the non participation in FIFA competitions. "First, the proposals to sell off the major competitions had to be withdrawn and secondly, assurances have to be made that such attempts to disfigure the game in this way will never be made again. "These conditions have not been met. In addition, UEFA made it abundantly clear in it’s statement on Saturday that it has lost confidence in Gianni Infantino’s presidency. That position holds. "Yesterday’s announcement that some people employed by the FIFA President (and whose careers depend on his favour) agree with him changes nothing." 3 Likes |

🌎 Iran's Parliament and National Security Commission is reviewing a formal draft bill on management of the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf to severely tighten transit rules, per Fars. Under this draft: 1. US, Israeli, and all other "hostile" country vessels will be permanently banned from transiting the Strait of Hormuz. 2. Israeli cargo (military or civilian) will not be allowed to transit through the region. 3. Vessels or cargo that played a role in actions against the "Axis of Resistance" will also be banned. 4. Countries and individuals that have caused damage to Iran will not be granted permission to transit through the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf until the damage is compensated. 5. The entry of vessels will be managed by Iran, while the exit will be managed jointly by Iran and Oman, with fees charged on every vessel. 6. Heavy penalties of up to 20% of cargo value for violators. 7. Iran's government + armed forces will be obligated to assume navigation guidance, monitoring vessel traffic, and protecting the security and environment of the Persian Gulf. 4 Likes |

🌎 Fars news reports that the proposed Iran-Oman Strait of Hormuz agreement would prohibit U.S, Israeli, and other “hostile” vessels from transiting the strategic waterway. Under the reported proposal, all shipping would eventually shift to a central corridor, with Iran managing inbound traffic and Iran and Oman jointly overseeing outbound traffic. Transit charges would reportedly be based on maritime services rather than a fixed percentage of cargo value. Separately, Reuters reports that Iran is expected to seek transit fees of 5%–7% of a ship’s cargo value for entry into the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz, while Oman is expected to request an additional 3%. 1 Like |

🌎 The Board of Peace has issued its first construction contract in Gaza to build a rudimentary 150-person military outpost to house Moroccan troops. The contract, which has not yet been finalized, was awarded to Arkel International, a Louisiana-based company that has previously carried out work with the U.S. government in countries such as Iraq. The base is 100 meters by 120 meters and is intended to house a contingent of Moroccan troops, who would rotate from a base in Israel. |

🌎 Trump may have just offered his clearest signal yet about who he wants to carry the MAGA mantle after his presidency. Private comments to donors suggest Trump is leaning toward Vice President JD Vance in 2028 after reportedly saying, "At the end of the day, we need to elect JD." While sources say the remark isn't a formal endorsement, it's the strongest indication yet of where Trump's thinking may be headed. Trump has continued to praise both Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, calling Vance's work on fighting fraud "great" while previously hailing Rubio as potentially "the greatest secretary of state in history." He's also previously touted a potential Vance-Rubio ticket as "unstoppable," though he's stopped short of saying who should top the ticket. |
