    ILNA news agency has reported on the ongoing water crisis in Zahedan and some areas of Sistan and Baluchestan province, stating that a number of citizens in certain neighborhoods of the city are facing water cuts for three to four consecutive days.

    According to the report published on Thursday, July 23, many families are forced to buy water from private tankers to meet their needs, paying between one to one and a half million tomans each time they fill their home tank.

    ILNA also quoted citizens as saying that some families, due to their inability to afford the cost of purchasing water from private tankers, have to get by for several days with just a few jugs of water.

    Mohammad Reza Koochakzai, a member of the Islamic Council of Zahedan, also confirmed the water crisis in an interview with ILNA, stating that the city is facing a shortage of about one thousand liters of water per second, which is nearly one-third of its water needs.

    A number of candidates for the master's degree entrance exam in the towns of Bastak and Bandar Khamir in Hormozgan province have been unable to attend the exam session due to the destruction of bridges and the closure of communication routes following U.S. attacks. According to them, despite officials being aware of the situation in the region, no alternative solutions were provided for conducting the exam or transferring the candidates.

    The Telegram channel "United Students" reported that on the evening of July 17, 2026, coinciding with the master's exam, the bridges on the Bastak–Bandar Khamir–Bandar Abbas route were targeted in CENTCOM drone attacks, completely blocking the communication route between these two towns and Bandar Abbas.

    While the exam centers for candidates from these areas were designated in Bandar Abbas, the closure of the roads meant that none of them could reach the exam venue.

    According to these candidates, they contacted the Road Maintenance and other responsible agencies multiple times until the last hours before the exam, but no solutions were considered for transferring or changing the exam center.

    These students say they had been preparing for months to take the exam, but ultimately lost the opportunity to participate in the entrance exam due to the war conditions and the lack of foresight from officials.

    The U.S. Secretary of State, on the sidelines of the ASEAN meeting in Manila, reiterated his previous statements about Iran's "unreadiness for an agreement," saying, "They will pay the price for this."

    Marco Rubio said on Thursday, July 23, "The cost for Iran increases every night until they wake up," adding, "Despite Iran's bravado, they are in severe distress, and this suffering will continue."

    The U.S. Secretary of State also expressed hope that the Iranian government would "likely be ready for an agreement soon," but emphasized that they are clearly not ready for an agreement at this time, "at least not one they would be willing to accept."

    In response to a question about Donald Trump's recent statements regarding Iran paying a price for the deaths of American soldiers and attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, Rubio said Trump's policy is "an eye for an eye, and Iran will pay a heavy price."

    The U.S. Secretary of State also expressed hope for a cessation of attacks by the Houthis in Yemen, stating, "I hope they de-escalate; Iran has deceived them."

    Mehran Navab-Safavi, imprisoned in Dashtgerd Prison in Isfahan, has been sentenced to death by the fifth branch of the Revolutionary Court of Isfahan, presided over by Judge Hemmati-Nejad, on charges of "moharebeh" (waging war against God).

    His case includes accusations such as "moharebeh through participation in the destruction of public property," "propaganda against the regime," "gathering and colluding against national security," and "encouraging people to kill each other."

    At the same time, the 10-year prison sentence for Ali Sanei, a 22-year-old computer science student, has been confirmed by the appeals court.

    Sanei was arrested in Esfand 2024 in Malard and transferred to Greater Tehran Prison.

    Axios: The U.S. deployed the B-1 bomber as attacks on Iran intensified

    U.S. officials said the U.S. military used a long-range B-1 bomber on Tuesday to strike targets belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Iran.

    Why it matters: This was the first time since the resumption of hostilities with Iran 12 days ago that the U.S. conducted a mission with the B-1 bomber.

    The use of B-1 bombers, which can carry 24 2,000-pound bombs or dozens of cruise missiles, signifies a significant escalation and expansion of the U.S. military campaign.

    The B-1 can fly at low altitudes at speeds greater than the speed of sound and carries the largest bomb payload among all types of bombers.

    As the U.S. military presence in the region continues to grow, President Trump is still considering a return to large-scale combat operations against Iran. U.S. and Israeli officials say this could happen within days.

    The gist of the news: The B-1 bomber began its mission from a base in Britain and was tracked on online flight tracking websites.

    U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) did not mention the B-1 mission in its statement on Tuesday regarding that day's attacks.

    The statement read: "CENTCOM assets targeted Iranian military operation centers, naval capabilities, aircraft hangars, drone maintenance facilities, and military logistics infrastructure to further degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz."

    It is unclear what target the B-1 attacked and whether this significant mission was more effective than other attacks in recent days.

    During Operation "Epic Fury," the U.S. conducted several missions with the B-1, targeting missile bases, command centers, weapon maintenance facilities, and air defense systems.

    Current situation: Despite the escalation of U.S. attacks, it does not appear that the Iranian government has changed its stance regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Iran continues to carry out attacks against U.S. bases in the region.

    Some U.S. defense officials say Iran's military capability around the Strait of Hormuz is "almost gone," but others say Iran is still capable of attacking ships in the area.

    President Trump threatened on Wednesday that if Iran conducts further attacks against ships in the Strait of Hormuz, he would bomb bridges and power plants, including facilities in Tehran. In response, Iran threatened the infrastructure of U.S. Gulf ally countries.

    Wider context: Also on Wednesday, Houthi rebels attacked Saudi ships for the first time since the announcement of the blockade of Saudi ports.

    A U.S. defense official said the Houthi attacks, after months of being almost completely away from the war, may have been provoked by Iran.

    This official said Iran wants to use the Houthis to create a new front in the Red Sea, in addition to the Gulf, and to exert pressure on another vital international oil transport route.

    On Wednesday, several commercial ships were seen changing their routes in the Red Sea to avoid passing through the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait due to fears of Houthi attacks.

    What to watch: U.S. officials said Qatari mediators are still in talks with U.S., Iranian, and Omani officials to reach a new agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and halt hostilities; this was reported by informed sources.

    A regional source said Iran has rejected the latest proposal put forward by the mediators.

    It is unclear how long Trump will allow diplomatic efforts to continue. On Wednesday night, Trump said in a speech in Georgia: "They are under heavy pressure and want to make a deal."

    "But I say they are not ready to make a deal because every time they make a deal, they want to change it and change everything. They are not ready. They will be ready very soon."

    The official Saudi news agency (WAS) confirmed that the ship "Ancilia," belonging to one of the Saudi companies, was targeted in the Red Sea. According to WAS, following this attack, a fire broke out in the front section of the ship, but all crew members are safe.

    A source in the Saudi Transport Organization also stated that the responsible authorities have taken necessary measures to ensure the security of the "Ancilia" ship. Previously, Houthi forces supported by the Islamic Republic had announced that they targeted two Saudi oil tankers.

    CENTCOM's latest attacks against Iran have concluded

    Tampa, Florida — The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) concluded another round of attacks against Iran at 10:30 PM Eastern Time [6 AM Tehran Time] on July 22, marking the twelfth consecutive night of operations.

    U.S. forces targeted Iranian military objectives, including naval capabilities, missile and drone maintenance facilities, coastal surveillance centers, and air defense equipment. These attacks further weaken Iran's ability to threaten civilian mariners and commercial vessels.

    This month, U.S. forces have targeted dozens of Iranian military sites on land while simultaneously resuming a maritime blockade against Iran. To date, CENTCOM has altered the routes of 9 commercial vessels to prevent them from entering or exiting Iranian ports and has disabled one ship.

    Over 50,000 U.S. military personnel are active across the Middle East, remaining at the highest levels of alert, focused, lethal, and ready.

    In this statement, the Guard emphasized that it controls the Strait of Hormuz and that no ship can pass through this strait. Meanwhile, the U.S. military states that the Strait of Hormuz is open, and in recent weeks, 900 ships have passed through it.

    Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, stated that the memorandum with the Islamic Republic was based on adherence to commitments, but Tehran violated it, and as a result, this agreement is no longer valid.

    He added that the memorandum included the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and guarantees for freedom of navigation, and the Islamic Republic was supposed to issue a statement about this about a week and a half ago, but on the same day, a ship was attacked.

    The U.S. Secretary of State also mentioned that Washington continues to support diplomacy and a negotiated solution, but it seems that the Islamic Republic is currently not serious about this.

    Rubio added that China also opposes the actions of the Islamic Republic in the Strait of Hormuz and the imposition of fees on the passage of ships.

    According to Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, the Islamic Republic is facing serious economic problems, and the citizens of Iran are dealing with high inflation and a sharp increase in food prices.

    Trump's speech in Georgia, parts related to Iran, machine translation:
    ...
    But millions and millions of barrels of oil are on the way, and Venezuela is performing better than ever. Big oil companies are coming in and signing contracts. Chris Wright is working on it, Doug Burgum is also working on it, Scott is working with them, and it has really been amazing. They have huge oil reserves there.

    In fact, if you count the U.S. and Venezuela together, we control about 62% of the world's oil market. So we don't need the straits; we don't need anything. We don't need the Strait of Hormuz, but we get involved because we have to; because we cannot allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons.

    We are also winning against the Islamic Republic of Iran and ensuring that they can never, ever do to us what they have done to many. You know, they have killed over 52,000 protesters. People who were protesting have been killed; 52,000 in the last four months. No one wants to talk about it. The fake media never mentions it.

    [ + Sentences related to the ceremony for fallen American soldiers that are in the video but don't fit in the post.]

    The stock market has hit record highs; and this is while this little conflict is going on. I call it a "little conflict." This little conflict we have with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

    The reason I call it that is because, let me say, they are being targeted so hard and they want to negotiate. But I say they are not ready to negotiate yet, because every time they make a deal, they want to change it and add other things.

    They are not ready yet. They will be ready soon. Even though this situation continues, the stock market has hit record highs.

    Oil will also come down; its price will crash.

    Three weeks ago, they thought we had a deal. I said, "I don't think we will have a deal with these people. They violate every deal they make."

    But the people and the geniuses on Wall Street thought otherwise. The price of oil went down a lot, then it went up a bit, but it will go down again; maybe even lower than when we started. Just give me a little time.

    I always say, "Just give me a little time." I told the farmers too: "Give me a little time and see how things go for the farmers and the farms. This country is moving forward with strength."

    In just 18 months, we have transformed this country in a way that no one has seen before. Think about it: our border is secure, employment is up, inflation has come down significantly, and factories are opening.

    Investment is pouring into our country. I said: $19.2 trillion. Our military is more powerful than ever by a long shot. You see? Venezuela, Iran.

    America is back. It is stronger than ever, and I tell you it is only moving in one direction: upward.

    As long as we maintain this mindset and this current system, we will go up. If you go another way, nothing succeeds.

    I once said, "In communism, everything turns to crap."

    Alright? It's true. It's a terrible thing.

    Axios: The new head of Mossad met with the CIA chief about Iran

    According to two informed sources, Roman Gofman, the new head of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency, traveled to Washington two weeks ago to discuss the war in Iran and Iran's nuclear program.

    Why it matters: Gofman is one of the closest advisors to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This was his first trip to Washington since taking office in June.

    The main news: The Mossad chief's visit came just before escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and the resumption of hostilities.

    An Israeli source said one of Gofman's goals for the trip was to coordinate with the White House regarding negotiations with Iran to reach a nuclear agreement.

    Behind the scenes: Sources said Gofman met with CIA Director John Ratcliffe, as well as White House officials.

    Within Trump's inner circle, Ratcliffe was one of the more skeptical voices regarding the memorandum of understanding with Iran.

    He had warned before the signing of this memorandum that Iran would interpret the agreement, including provisions related to the Strait, differently than the U.S.

    The CIA and Mossad declined to comment.

    Trump: We are going to pay our respects to our heroes; and they truly are great heroes. Really. They said, and they all said it with conviction: "We cannot allow Iran to have nuclear weapons." They will not have nuclear weapons.

    So we want to honor them. This is one of the hardest things a president has to do, but it must be done. I think, as we go to pay our respects to these soldiers...

    Reporter: Do you have any new information regarding the investigations that clarify [how they were killed in Jordan]?

    Reporter: [It is said that Iran targeted the barracks].

    Reporter: Surely among the families of these soldiers, there are those who oppose this war. What do you say to them?
    Trump: Well, Americans are not against the war. A poll... a poll has just been released. Americans do not want high gas prices, but they are not against the war. This was very clear in that poll.

    No one wants Iran to have nuclear weapons. Do you want Iran to have nuclear weapons? Do you think that’s good? Go ahead.

    Reporter: [Unintelligible]; how do you respond to that?
    Trump: The only thing I will say is: "We love you. We love your child." And they are just that for their families; they are their children. There is no game here, nothing. He is their child. And the only thing you can do is give them everything you have in your heart.
    Thank you. Thank you very much.

    Reporter: So what is the point of negotiating with them in the midst of war?

    Trump's post:
    From this point forward, any time the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, whether it be by Missile, Rocket, Drone, or any other device or weapon, the United States will bomb and destroy ONE BRIDGE OR POWER PLANT, including those located next to, or in, the Capital City of Tehran. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
