๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโšก๏ธ โ€” Iran shot down the U.S. F-15E over southern Iran in April using a shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile after adapting tactics observed in the Ukraine war, NYT reports.

U.S. military officials say Iran deployed a drone swarm in an area penetrated by American fighters, allowing Iranian forces to determine the F-15Eโ€™s location, speed, and direction before engaging it. The aircraftโ€™s defensive systems gave its crew only about half a second of warning before impact.

Both crew members ejected. The pilot was recovered quickly, while the weapons systems officer evaded Iranian forces for nearly two days before being rescued by U.S. Special Operations forces.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ดโšก๏ธ โ€” Iran overwhelmed U.S. air defenses during five days of sustained missile and drone attacks against three American bases in Jordan last month, using advanced maneuvering missiles and saturation tactics to deplete Patriot interceptors, NYT reports.

During one day of the attacks in Jordan alone, U.S. forces launched around 50 Patriot interceptors, each costing roughly $4 million.

On the fifth day, an Iranian missile penetrated the defenses and struck prefabricated housing at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base on July 17, killing three U.S. soldiers and wounding more than 100, while other attacks damaged several aircraft.

The Pentagon has fired more than 1,500 Patriot interceptors during the war, leaving fewer than 1,700 in its inventory. The U.S. only produced about 600 interceptors in all of 2025.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโšก๏ธ โ€” The Pentagon plans to dramatically increase purchases of PAC-3 MSE and THAAD interceptor missiles in fiscal 2027, seeking roughly 10 times more than in 2026, according to Army budget documents reviewed by Fox News.

The Army is seeking 3,655 interceptors as the US moves to rapidly expand its missile-defense stockpiles and production capacity after years of relatively limited procurement.

PAC-3 MSE purchases declined from 328 missiles in 2022 to 214 in 2025 before rising to 320 in the 2026 request. THAAD procurement was even lower, with just 11 interceptors purchased in 2024 and 12 in 2025, rising to a planned 37 in 2026.

The Army has also more than quadrupled its overall PAC-3 MSE acquisition objective, increasing it from 3,376 to 13,773 missiles.

Ukraine has presented proposals to the United States to compel Russia to end the war.

America can help our defense, primarily with air defense, and put pressure on Russia to have different plans, to prepare for the end of the war, and not to delay it.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฆโšก๏ธ โ€” U.S. Central Command:
Earlier today, CENTCOM forces disabled the steering gear of Panama-flagged M/V Vela Nova as the cargo vessel attempted to transit the Gulf of Oman and violate the U.S. blockade against Iran by sailing toward an Iranian port.

A U.S. Navy MH-60 helicopter fired two hellfire missiles into the Vela Novaโ€™s engine room after the shipโ€™s civilian crew ignored repeated warnings from American forces.

The ship is no longer transiting to Iran in violation of the U.S. blockade, which remains in full effect.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโšก๏ธ โ€” Raรบl Castroโ€™s grandson, Raรบl G. Rodrรญguez Castro, has emerged as a key Cuban intermediary in talks with the Trump administration and has been discussed as a potential future leader of Cuba, according to NYT.

The 42-year-old Interior Ministry colonel, once best known as his grandfatherโ€™s bodyguard and personal aide, has recently met separately with CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as Havana and Washington conduct secret negotiations.

His growing political role comes despite allegations that he previously helped protect a major smuggling network operating between Cuba, Mexico, and the U.S. Individuals convicted in the case accused Rodrรญguez Castro of facilitating the movement of illicit goods and receiving luxury items in exchange. He has never been charged, and senior Cuban officials have dismissed the allegations as โ€œslander.โ€

People who have spoken with Rodrรญguez Castro say he has made little secret of his ambition to eventually become Cubaโ€™s president, although it remains unclear whether he has sufficient support within the countryโ€™s leadership.

It also renewed its warning to Yemenis fighting alongside Saudi-backed forces, urging them to withdraw "before it is too late."

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บโšก๏ธ โ€” British defence officials are facing calls to "reboot" lines of communication amid fears of an "unintended escalation" with Moscowโ€™s troops, The Times reports.

The UK and Russian military chiefs have not spoken directly since September 2022, with subsequent British attempts to contact Russiaโ€™s Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov last year rejected or unanswered.

Pressure to reopen senior-level channels has increased following several encounters, including a Russian warship firing warning shots near a British yacht in the English Channel and a Russian maritime patrol aircraft making what Britain described as unsafe approaches toward HMS Prince of Wales in the Norwegian Sea.

๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ผโšก๏ธ โ€” At least 15 people were killed and 27 remain missing after an overcrowded ferry capsized on Zimbabweโ€™s Lake Kariba earlier today.

Authorities said 77 people were rescued. Records showed at least 114 adult passengers and five crew members were aboard the vessel, which had a maximum capacity of 90.

The actual number may have been higher because children below ticketing age were not included in the passenger count.

๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโšก๏ธ โ€” The UAE has transformed itself from a source of suspicion in Washington into one of Americaโ€™s closest Middle Eastern partners through decades of lobbying, investment, and strategic diplomacy, FT writes.

Abu Dhabi has spent more than $270 million in Washington over the past decade, while directing money toward major think tanks, cultivating relationships across both parties, and investing heavily in strategically important U.S. industries. Ambassador Yousef al-Otaiba has played a central role in building those relationships.

The UAEโ€™s 2020 normalization agreement with Israel further strengthened its position in Washington, while its growing investments in U.S. technology and AI have made the economic relationship increasingly important. Emirati-linked companies now have significant partnerships or investments involving major American technology firms.

The relationship has also attracted criticism. Some U.S. lawmakers argue that Abu Dhabiโ€™s political influence and investments have helped shield it from scrutiny over its ties with China, support for Sudanโ€™s RSF, and its role in networks linked to sanctioned Iranian entities.

The Iran war has also prompted the UAE to further deepen its military and strategic relationships with Washington and Israel.
