A small Iranian oil tanker was hit by four US missiles near the island of Kharg, in the Persian Gulf. Iranian media reported this after explosions were heard in the area.

Donald Trump has issued a warning to Tehran, declaring that if they are "not smart" they will end up with a "Strait of Hormuz that will no longer be needed". According to Trump, new pipelines are being created that could lead to bypassing the Strait, through which until a few months ago a fifth of global oil and gas passed. Tehran: "Wherever we perceive a threat, we will conduct preventive operations"

The British government must act "more decisively" in response to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband said this in a video published on Instagram. The situation in the Strip is "horrific," he said, reporting that he had spoken to people who had been or were currently in the Palestinian enclave and who told him of "blocked medicines" and "children dying waiting for life-saving treatment." “We, as the UK Government, must act, and act more decisively than we have done so far,” the Foreign Office chief said.

South Korea should not consider intervening in the war in the Strait of Hormuz: this is the warning issued by a senior Iranian security and political official, quoted by the Fars agency. “South Korea should not sacrifice its interests and credibility for the destabilizing and aggressive policies of the United States,” the official said. “We warn South Korea that Tehran will consider any contribution by this country against Iran in the Strait of Hormuz as military participation in the war,” he added. South Korea said Friday it is considering a possible contribution to U.S. operations in the Strait of Hormuz.

At dawn the Israeli army launched an incursion into the towns of Nazla al-Sharqiya and Qaffin, north of Tulkarem, in the West Bank. The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported this, citing local sources, specifying that several military vehicles patrolled the streets, carrying out searches and searches. However, no arrests were reported. According to Quds News, during the night the IDF raided the dormitories of the Arab-American University of Jenin, in the north of the West Bank, in Tammun and Wadi al-Far'a, both south of Tubas, in the village of Beitin, near Ramallah, and in the Qalandiya refugee camp, on the northern outskirts of Jerusalem.

After six months of war, Iran has become more confident in its ability to attack targets in the Middle East and appears determined to continue the conflict to exasperate the United States. This was reported by a US intelligence report reported by the New York Times. According to the American secret services, Iran is unlikely to accept an agreement soon. Indeed, he is happy to give President Donald Trump a hard time ahead of the mid-term elections. In the coming weeks, Iran could return to attacking American military bases in the Middle East or carry out hybrid warfare. The 007s believe Iranian-linked hackers were most likely responsible for cyberattacks on more than 100 water systems across the United States in late July. And now they would aim to hit oil infrastructure.

The leader of the democratic sanatoriums, Chuck Schimer, harshly criticized President Donald Trump who yesterday had defined the war in Iran as "stupid", using the American expression 'small potatoes'. “'Small stuff.' That's how Donald Trump feels about the war he started in Iran. Go tell that to the families of the 18 soldiers we lost, the hundreds of wounded service members, and the Americans who suffer every single day from record prices,” wrote X. “There's nothing small about this,” he stressed.
