    JD Vance, the Vice President of the United States, denied reports about receiving a message from the Islamic Republic accusing Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner of exploiting negotiations and profiting from confidential information, stating that he has never received such a message.

    This reaction came after a report claimed that the Islamic Republic, following negotiations in Switzerland, accused Witkoff and Kushner of profiting $9 billion from market fluctuations and demanded that half of this amount, equivalent to $4.5 billion, be allocated to the Iranian government.

    Vance called these allegations "completely unfounded" and stated that Witkoff and Kushner are trusted members of Donald Trump's team, the President of the United States, and that the claim of their exploitation of confidential information is "ridiculous."

    A senior U.S. official told the Wall Street Journal that the U.S. military targeted several bridges in Iran to cut off supply routes leading to Bandar Abbas and the naval base located in the Strait of Hormuz.

    The U.S. claims that the Islamic Republic uses that naval base to attack ships and demonstrate power. Iranian state television also reported that several attacks have been carried out on bridges in Bandar Abbas and its surrounding areas, and highways leading to Bandar Abbas from neighboring provinces have been declared blocked.

    The President of the United States, on Tuesday, July 14, stated in an interview with Fox News that the scope of U.S. attacks on the Islamic Republic will expand in the coming days. Donald Trump added that heavy attacks will continue, and if the Islamic Republic does not engage in negotiations, next week its power plants and bridges will be targeted. He emphasized, "We will disable all their power plants and all their bridges unless they come to the negotiating table." Trump also stressed in that interview that U.S. military operations against the Islamic Republic will continue and these attacks "will not stop until I say they are enough."

    Youssef Raji, Lebanon's Foreign Minister, says the decision to end Hezbollah's military role in the country was a sovereign and independent decision by Lebanon, made prior to the recent principled agreement with Israel.

    Mr. Raji stated on Thursday, July 25, that this decision paved the way for an agreement reached last month through U.S. mediation between Lebanon and Israel.

    Emphasizing that Lebanon has "made its decision," he said there will be no return to "the duality of sovereignty," and there is no place for weapons outside the framework of the state's legitimacy or decision-making outside the country's official institutions.

    Raji also mentioned that the deployment of the Lebanese army throughout the country is an inseparable issue from the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from all occupied areas of Lebanon.

    Hezbollah, which is supported by the Islamic Republic of Iran, is recognized as a terrorist organization by the U.S., but the European Union only considers its military wing to be terrorist.

    The Wall Street Journal reported, citing several U.S. officials, that Donald Trump has become inclined to expand U.S. military operations in Iran after several briefing sessions with his senior aides.

    According to these unnamed officials, the options discussed include increasing airstrikes, deploying ground troops to seize Iranian islands near the Strait of Hormuz, and bombing a fortified and secret nuclear facility.

    The newspaper wrote that Donald Trump hosted a meeting in the White House Situation Room on Tuesday afternoon, U.S. time, to discuss the potential seizure of Kharg Island and other areas along the Strait of Hormuz using American forces, as well as the possible bombing of a tunnel complex in Mount Kolang Gazla, also known as Peikaks or Mount Kolang.

    Mount Kolang Gazla is the site of a deep and secret Iranian nuclear facility near Natanz that has not yet been targeted by U.S. attacks. The Wall Street Journal states that the expansion of airstrikes against more targets in Iran, including power plants, remains likely.
