    from this moment on, the costs of any damages incurred to ships, cargoes, or anything related to them will be paid from the funds of Iran that are in the possession and control of the United States.
    These damages may be quite significant, but nonetheless, this is fair and just.

    Trump's speech, parts related to Iran, machine translation:

    We are doing very well against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Our performance is outstanding. They want to do something, but I say they are not ready yet. They need more of this behavior. They are still not ready. They have sinister intentions.

    We cannot allow them to have nuclear weapons. If we do all these things I’m talking about regarding them, including the work related to your data centers, isn’t that important? When they start destroying communities one after another, we cannot allow them to even think about having nuclear weapons. That is exactly what is happening. During my time, they will never have nuclear weapons.

    Moreover, this work should have been done by others. They have been saying for almost three years that it has been 47 years, but this should have been done 50 years ago by other U.S. presidents or other countries. We didn’t have to do this, but apparently, if we don’t do it, no one else will either. I will do it, and no one else has the capability to do it.

    During my first term as president, we built the largest military in the world. We are using a bit more than I thought we would, but that’s okay.

    We had Venezuela. Chris is doing an amazing job there. We have compensated for the cost of that war many times over. We are taking millions and millions of barrels of oil, and that oil goes to Houston and Louisiana. You know; you see those ships lined up.

    Again, I say, we have compensated for that cost over and over again, and we have a very good relationship with Venezuela. The people of Venezuela are now happy and cannot believe what has happened. The biggest companies and the largest oil companies in the world are entering there and doing business in ways no one ever imagined.

    We also take our share; we have to. They take their share too. It’s very interesting that they are now making more money. Chris was showing me figures. Venezuela is now making more money than ever before. We are also making a lot of money, and I think we deserve it.

    So it really was an incident that [incomprehensible]. It was a one-day war; it lasted one day. People were saying, “We are going to be stuck there forever.”

    But you know, we were in Vietnam for 20 years and lost thousands and hundreds of thousands of people; at least thousands and thousands. We were in Afghanistan for years. We were present in all these wars you have heard about for many years. These were the wars I called endless wars.

    But this time we have been involved for four months. I had a very sad day yesterday. I went to Dover. Four great American patriots were killed. That means 18 killed in two wars. Even one is too many, but the number is 18.

    While in Vietnam, we lost 200,000 people. We lost thousands and thousands of people. In Afghanistan and in every war, we lost thousands. In the Korean War, thousands were also killed. All these wars lasted for years.

    We want to finish this and we want to do it right. But we have to do what we came to do. We cannot allow these very violent people to get what they want, which is nuclear weapons.
    [...]
    So I just want to say in closing that being here is a great honor. I am now going to talk about various topics. One of them is the Iran war, which I again say we are doing very well; very, very well. I say better than anyone expected it could be done.

    We have crippled their navy and air force. We have destroyed all their radars and most of their production capabilities. Their drone capability has decreased by 84% and their missile capability by 91%.

    Then a newspaper wrote: “They are now in a stronger position than four months ago.”

    No, that is not true. It’s not right. I can’t believe they are even allowed to say such a thing. The New York Times wrote: “They are now in a stronger position.”

    They have no army. They have no navy. Their time is up. They had 159 ships, all of which are at the bottom of the sea. They had 212 planes, all of which are gone. They have no radar. They have no air defense. They have nothing; except that they are violent and smart and still have some capability.

    But four months ago, believe me, they were much, much stronger. Do you understand? I want to give you the real news.

    Update:
    The Kuwaiti army announced on Thursday night that Iranian military forces have once again targeted the territory of this country along the Persian Gulf.

    Iranian state media have reported that the target of these new attacks was the Ali Al-Salem base in Kuwait.

    In this context, the Kuwaiti army announced on social media, including X, that Iranian missiles and drones have been intercepted by the country's air defense systems.

    Host: Let's take a look at the power plants and locations that we might be able to target. Lucas, when you look at these as potential targets, where do you think we might strike first?

    Lucas: Well, I don't know if it would be the first target or not, but the Damavand power plant supplies 40% of Tehran's electricity. The Bushehr nuclear power plant is also unlikely to be targeted. The Russians built it and still provide Iran with low-enriched uranium.

    Host: Because, Lucas, we have to say that blowing up a nuclear power plant carries risks.
    Lucas: Without a doubt. The South Pars gas field is also located on the largest natural gas field in the world. Israeli forces targeted it on March 18, at the start of the war, and Iran responded by attacking the Qatari section of this natural gas field.

    Host: If we want to send a message in the same strait where they are attacking ships, isn't that a place we should look into?
    Lucas: Yes; the only question is what Iran's response will be. We've seen that Iran retaliates. The natural gas facilities in Qatar and the oil fields in the UAE are the main concerns.

    Host: So if we strike a power plant, they will respond in kind?
    Lucas: Undoubtedly. The whole situation has been about this tit-for-tat. The notable thing about the Israelis is that they give disproportionate responses. One of the reasons Israel hasn't re-entered the war might be this. Iran hasn't attacked Israel since early June.

    Host: What’s your assessment of the way we are currently operating? Do you think our response is disproportionate, or could it be more disproportionate?
    Lucas: Our response is not disproportionate. The notable point is that U.S. forces attacked Iranian bases after an American base in Jordan was targeted; that attack killed three U.S. Army soldiers.

    Host: So this is the power plant we might target. This is the most important case. Let's go to the other side of the map; here is "Pickaxe Mountain."
    Lucas: U.S. intelligence assessment is that Iran likely moved some of its enriched uranium from Fordow to Pickaxe Mountain a few days before the "Midnight Hammer" operation a year ago. This site is much deeper than other nuclear facilities. Also, this is the Zagros Mountains, and we are facing very hard dolomite rock; therefore, an airstrike on it would be very difficult. This is one of the reasons why ground forces might be used. In fact, such a mission is for the U.S. Army's special operations forces; forces like Delta, SEAL Team Six, and the 24th Special Tactics Squadron of the Air Force. The risk is that no one knows exactly what the situation is inside there. There is no technical map of the inside of Pickaxe Mountain.

    Host: That's right. That's what we are saying.
    Lucas: The International Atomic Energy Agency has never had access to this site. So we don't know for sure whether centrifuges and highly enriched uranium have been moved to Pickaxe Mountain; however, this site is under observation. We heard President Trump say that he would soon target Pickaxe Mountain. We've seen B-1 bombers flying from Britain, and of course, B-2 bombers took off from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri for that round-the-world flight we saw in the "Midnight Hammer" operation.

    Host: And Natanz has also been targeted, right?
    Lucas: Natanz has been targeted. Fordow and Isfahan have also been targeted. These were the three locations that were targeted in the "Midnight Hammer" operation a year ago. However, Pickaxe Mountain has remained untouched so far.

    [Sentences that are in the video but were not included here for brevity.]

    Host: And as far as I know, this power plant [Damavand] supplies electricity for two million people.
    Lucas: Yes.
    Host: And it's located outside of Tehran.
    Lucas: If the President wants to give a response that could be considered somewhat disproportionate, he would target the Damavand power plant. Again, I say, this power plant supplies 40% of Tehran's electricity, meaning the capital's electricity.

    The only question is whether you want to cut off the electricity for millions of Iranians who sympathize with America's ideals?

    The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed on Thursday that it considers a base in British territory, from which U.S. B-1 bombers take off, to be a "legitimate target" for attacks.

    Axios previously reported, citing U.S. government officials, that the U.S. military used a long-range B-1 bomber for the first time in a new round of attacks on Iran on Tuesday, targeting facilities belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

    Axios noted that the bomber used in this attack took off from an airbase in Britain. This news site referred to Fairford Air Base in southwestern England, where currently 18 B-1 bombers of the U.S. are stationed.

    Now, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has stated in a message: "Any base used to attack Iranian territory is a legitimate target for us."

    In its message, the Guard claimed that following the resumption of attacks, the U.S. initially attacked Iran with cruise missiles from its ships in the Indian Ocean, but after the missile stocks of these ships were depleted, it turned to using its bombers in Britain.

    Axios: Trump says he is 'close' to deciding on a 'massive attack' against Iran

    Machine translation:
    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, told Axios on Thursday that he is seriously considering resuming extensive military operations in Iran, including attacks that would be larger than the "Epic Fury" operations.

    Why it matters: In a brief interview, Trump acknowledged that such a decision would have consequences and emphasized that he has not yet made a final decision.

    Trump did not set a deadline for his decision. Two other American officials also confirmed that no decision has been made yet and no new orders have been given to the military.

    The escalation of current tensions has already caused oil prices to rise above $100 a barrel. A return to full-scale war is highly unpopular in the U.S.

    What he says: The U.S. President stated, "I am considering a massive attack; bigger than any attack that has ever been done. I am close to making a decision. We are fully prepared for it."

    Trump said Israel "will act within two minutes if I ask them," but added that they "do not need anyone" to start new operations against Iran.

    He also mentioned that Israel's involvement in these attacks would have "consequences" and implicitly referred to the possibility of Iran retaliating against Israel.

    The big picture: Trump said the Iranians "want to negotiate," but are not ready for an agreement at the moment.

    He stated, "They haven't suffered enough pain yet."

    Two regional sources familiar with mediation efforts said that Iranian leadership has rejected the latest proposal.

    One of them said, "We are trying, but the Iranians are not cooperating."

    News focus: The U.S. has intensified its attacks over the past 12 days to stop Iranian attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

    So far, Iran has shown no signs of willingness to change course and has also intensified its attacks in the region.

    Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have begun attacking Saudi ships in the Red Sea; an action that has escalated tensions in another vital oil transport route and further destabilized the global energy market.

    Trump wrote on his Truth Social account that if the Houthis fire at ships in the Red Sea again, "the United States will hold Iran responsible."

    He stated that the Houthis are Iran's proxy forces and therefore "heavy military punishment will be imposed on Iran and of course on the Houthis themselves."
    What to watch: Trump separately mentioned that Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, intends to attend a farewell ceremony for the late Senator Lindsey Graham in Washington next week.

    Trump said, "The relationship with Bibi is very good. If he is here, I will meet with him."

    Trump warned that if these actions are repeated, the United States will hold the Islamic Republic of Iran responsible as the supporter of the Houthis. He emphasized that in that case, significant military penalties would be imposed on Iran as well as the Houthis themselves; a group that, according to him, had previously acted professionally and intelligently, but their recent action is a cause for "regret."

    In this message, Trump suddenly referred to the "civilian" nature of Iran's nuclear program, stating: "The civilian nuclear agreement being negotiated between the U.S. Department of Energy and Saudi Arabia pertains only to civilian uses, similar to the programs that Iran, the United Arab Emirates, and other countries have. However, this agreement is entirely conditional on Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords."

    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.

    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.
