ICC Prosecutor Whose Netanyahu Warrant Fueled Mamdani Arrest Threat is Fired Over Sexual Abuse– gellerreport.com News Source
EXCERPT:
A female ICC legal assistant has accused the disgusting ICC prosecutor Karim Khan of sexual misconduct. Khan issued an arrest warrant against Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, so that he could divert attention from these sexual misconduct allegations. This is the latest example of why the ICC is an illegitimate and corrupt court that should be dismantled.
The scumbag mayor of NYC (and many other lowlife political leaders) vowed to arrest the Israeli PM based on the arrest warrant issued by Khan.
I welcome the decision, supported by an overwhelming majority of countries, to remove Karim Khan, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
This decision exposes the truth.
Karim Khan was accused of sexually harassing women who worked under him.

EXCERPT:
IRAN’S new Ayatollah is even more determined to develop a nuclear bomb than his late father, Washington fears.
Fresh US intelligence suggests the killing of the former supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in February has led to the intensification of Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.

The Iranian program could bolster President Donald Trump’s case for actioning further strikes in the region.
For years, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s 2003 religious ban on weapons of mass destruction tempered global concern regarding Iran’s nuclear programme.
Israeli settlers set fire to West Bank mosques after deadly clash– www.channelnewsasia.com News Source
EXCERPT:
The Palestinian Authority, which has responsibility for the section of the West Bank where Friday’s shootings took place, said the incident was part of a broader assault on Palestinians.
“Israeli state-backed settler terrorism is intensifying into systematic pogroms across the occupied West Bank,” the Palestinian prime minister’s office said in a statement on X.
The Israeli military said troops sent to Qusra, which sits near several large Israeli settlements, had found graffiti and signs of arson and were searching for suspects. Police officers would be sent to collect evidence, it said.
“The security forces strongly condemn incidents of this kind, including harm to religious sites, and will continue to act decisively to maintain security and public order in the area,” the military said.
An Israeli military official said such violence by Israelis diverted the defence force’s attention from its primary mission of defence and counter-terrorism in a complex environment. The official said, however, that over the weekend troops arrested more than 130 individuals, including weapons traffickers, Hamas operatives, individuals involved in incitement and people planning imminent attacks.
In separate incidents, Palestinian officials said settlers had also tried to burn a mosque near Kour, southeast of Tulkarm, and attacked Palestinian workers at a stone-cutting facility in the town of Kafr Malik, near Ramallah.
Farid Jiyousi, a member of the Kour village council, said three settlers had tried to set the mosque ablaze at dawn but worshippers had put out the fire before it reached the mosque’s main area. “This is the first attack our village has experienced,” he said, adding that the attackers had also sprayed Hebrew graffiti on the mosque walls.
Trump Dismisses Claims U.S. Is Short on Munitions in Iran Fight– www.breitbart.com News Source
EXCERPT:
President Donald Trump dismissed reports that the United States is running short on munitions for the conflict with Iran, telling the Wall Street Journal on Sunday that the U.S. military has “far more munitions than anyone in the world, and far more than we need” as his administration continued weighing diplomacy alongside the possibility of renewed military escalation.
Trump’s comments pushed back against reports from the New York Times and other outlets that concerns over declining stocks of Patriot and other air defense interceptors factored into internal deliberations over whether to expand the U.S. military campaign against Iran, even as the administration has emphasized that diplomatic efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz remain underway.
Appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press and Fox News Sunday, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz reinforced Trump’s message, declaring that “the U.S. military, and I’ve verified this every which way, has everything that it needs to conduct this campaign as effectively as it needs to be,” while insisting Trump is “keeping all options on the table” as he gives negotiations “some space” to continue.
“I have to tell you, the people that are leaking this nonsense deserve to be in jail,” Waltz said on Meet the Press, while acknowledging that years of military support for Ukraine and operations against the Houthis had strained some inventories before President Donald Trump took office. Waltz argued the administration is rebuilding stockpiles while shifting toward newer, less expensive munitions and other emerging technologies.
Speaking on Fox News, Waltz said the administration’s military campaign had focused on degrading Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping and regional stability, arguing that “the Iranian regime is isolated, economically devastated, militarily devastated,” and adding that Tehran was beginning to struggle financially, including paying government workers and members of its military.
The administration’s public defense of its military readiness follows reports that Trump postponed a planned expansion of the U.S. air campaign after meeting Friday with senior advisers, amid a broader debate over the costs and risks of escalating the conflict while diplomatic efforts continued.
According to the Wall Street Journal on Sunday, U.S. military planners had prepared an expanded campaign that could have lasted up to two weeks before Trump opted to allow diplomacy additional time. The newspaper reported that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine informed senior officials about declining inventories of Patriot and other air defense interceptors, while assessing that lower stockpiles would increase operational risk but would not prevent renewed military operations if Trump ordered them.
Trump says Netanyahu will not be arrested despite Mamdani’s call to detain ‘war criminal’– www.lifesitenews.com News Source
EXCERPT:
(LifeSiteNews) — In apparent response to statements from New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani regarding the potential of arresting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as he enters the city to attend a United Nations General Assembly, President Donald Trump declared no such detaining will occur.
“Benjamin Netanyahu will not be arrested, in any way, shape, or form, while in the United States of America,” the 47th U.S. president wrote in a Monday post on Truth Social.
Trump’s public comment came out after Mamdani stated in a New York Times interview that his office was in “active conversation with our legal department” to consider potentially arresting Netanyahu if he comes to the city for the UN General Assembly in September.
Yet, after Trump’s post, Mamdani released a short candid video statement on Tuesday that, on X alone, has garnered more than 64 million views in less than 24 hours.
“Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal, the architect of a horrific genocide against the Palestinian people,” the 34-year-old politician stated. “He is responsible for the killing of more than 73,000 people, for the maiming of tens of thousands of children, as those who survive undergo amputation without anesthesia,” he said regarding massive scale atrocities executed by the Israeli army in Gaza.

CENTCOM said in a statement,
At 10:30 p.m. ET on July 22, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces completed another round of strikes against Iran for the 12th consecutive night.
U.S. forces struck Iranian military targets including maritime capabilities, missile and drone storage facilities, coastal surveillance sites, and air defense assets. The strikes further degrade Iran’s ability to attack civilian mariners and commercial vessels.
This month, American forces have targeted dozens of Iranian military sites on land while resuming a blockade against Iran at sea. As of today, CENTCOM has redirected nine commercial vessels and disabled one to prevent ships from entering or departing Iranian ports.

Thousands of idle ships trapped near the Strait of Hormuz could become floating nurseries for invasive marine species and spread them worldwide when trade resumes |– timesofindia.indiatimes.com News Source
EXCERPT:
Having escalated into open hostilities on February 28, 2026, the current United States and Iran war has been going on for nearly five months. In this period, the Strait of Hormuz, the only open-ocean exit for major producers like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, and the UAE has been in chokehold. The strait is the world’s most critical maritime energy chokepoint, facilitating the passage of roughly 600 billion worth of energy trade annually. According to estimates, about 1,500 vessels are stuck in the Persian Gulf, and several hundred more are stuck in the adjacent Gulf of Oman.Now according to new research, something growing on the hulls of these ships could spread worldwide when the trade resumes. The study published in Biological Invasions, was led by an international team of 24 marine scientists, led by the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES), and including the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI).The team cautioned that thousands of commercial vessels stranded for months in the Persian/Arabian Gulf following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz could unintentionally trigger a massive marine invasive species event. The study titled, “Closure of the Strait of Hormuz May Trigger a Bioinvasion Super-Spreader Event,” highlighted how prolonged periods at anchor allow ship hulls to accumulate dense communities of marine organisms including algae, barnacles, mussels and other invertebrates which can be transported across the globe when trade resumes.

Houthis say they attacked Saudi tankers in the Red Sea, threatening new chokepoint in Iran war– www.channelnewsasia.com News Source
EXCERPT:
Before the Red Sea flare-up, Trump vowed on Wednesday to destroy an Iranian bridge or power plant every time Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran’s joint military command in turn warned that if Trump’s threat against infrastructure was carried out, Iranian forces would target regional oil, gas, electricity and economic infrastructure and prevent the export of “even a single drop of oil”, Iranian state media reported.
Hours later, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards reported an explosion in what it called a mined route south of the Strait of Hormuz, saying one of three oil tankers had caught fire while the other two turned back. The Guards said the strait was under their control and “completely closed”, warning that no tanker would be allowed to enter or leave without coordination with Iran.
In 12 straight days of attacks since a June ceasefire fell apart, American strikes have widened from the south to western and central areas of Iran. The US military’s Central Command said it would continue to “further degrade” Iran’s ability to threaten ship traffic.
Trump’s Saudi nuclear deal risks destabilizing the Middle East– www.washingtonexaminer.com News Source
EXCERPT:
The United States has reached a historic agreement that will support Saudi Arabia’s ability to enrich uranium on its own soil without the stringent safeguards traditionally required under U.S. nuclear cooperation agreements. The deal was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. Under the terms of the agreement, Washington will seek to ensure the program remains focused on civilian purposes by retaining influence over key aspects of Riyadh’s nuclear infrastructure.
What makes the deal truly significant is Trump’s decision to decouple it from Saudi-Israeli normalization efforts. The Biden administration had tied any prospective nuclear agreement to Riyadh joining the Abraham Accords, before Oct. 7, 2023, derailed those efforts. Today, however, the regional security environment has fundamentally changed. The war between the United States and Iran has demonstrated that Gulf states are no longer bystanders but potential targets of Iranian retaliation. But this comes with added risk of regional escalation.
Should Riyadh eventually pursue a military nuclear capability, for example, Israel’s strategic position in the region would be significantly weakened. As the Middle East’s only nuclear power, Israel enjoys a unique deterrent advantage, providing it with considerable leverage over regional adversaries. Preserving that advantage was one of the principal reasons previous U.S. administrations linked Saudi nuclear cooperation to normalization with Israel.
President Donald Trump has announced an historic multi-billion-dollar deal with Saudi Arabia. The deal will result in U.S. firms being contracted to help the Saudis build a nuclear power plant. Critics warn the Saudis will develop a nuclear arms program through the civil program the U.S. will help it build.
Trump Seals Saudi Nuclear Pact, Handing Russia and China a Defeat › American Greatness– amgreatness.com News Source
EXCERPT:
President Donald Trump has signed off on a sweeping 30-year civil nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia, a deal administration officials say will lock American companies into the kingdom’s energy future and keep Moscow and Beijing on the sidelines.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright is expected to formally sign the accord alongside Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, capping months of negotiations that began during Wright’s first foreign trip to the region in April 2025. The pact, valued at tens of billions of dollars, still must clear a congressional review period before taking effect.
Under the agreement, U.S. firms, led by Westinghouse Electric and its AP1000 reactor capable of powering a midsize city or a large artificial-intelligence data center, would build out Saudi Arabia’s nuclear infrastructure. A joint two-year study will examine whether the kingdom should eventually host its own uranium-enrichment facility, built and operated by American companies under a tightly controlled “black box” structure meant to keep sensitive technology out of Saudi hands. If Washington decides against enrichment, Riyadh would be barred from pursuing it alone or with another country for a decade.
Trump Vows to Bomb One Iranian Bridge or Power Plant for Every Ship Targeted in Strait of Hormuz › American Greatness– amgreatness.com News Source
EXCERPT:
President Donald Trump on Wednesday vowed to attack critical Iranian infrastructure every time Tehran targets a ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
“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,” Trump declared on Truth Social.
Trump has previously refrained from targeting civilian infrastructure in Iran, though he did warn in April that the “whole civilization” would die if the regime refused to agree to a cease-fire.
Iran recently declared the Strait of Hormuz closed “until further notice” after stopping a vessel it accused of using an unauthorized route.
Since then, the IRCG has reportedly attacked two commercial vessels transiting the waterway, including a Cyprus-flagged ship.
Earlier this month, Trump floated the idea of the United States taking control of the strait, which normally sees around one-fifth of the world’s oil supplies flow through it.

President Donald Trump said Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “will not be arrested” when he visits New York in September, pushing back on a suggestion by Mayor Zohran Mamdani that such an arrest could happen.
Mamdani has said New York City’s legal department is discussing the possibility of arresting Netanyahu when the prime minister is in the city to attend the United Nations General Assembly.
“I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague,” Mamdani told The New York Times’ “The Interview” podcast that published Saturday.
“He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court. And what you will find is that is an opinion that is held by many purely because of what his actions have wrought over these last many years,” the mayor said.

Pentagon concealing true casualty numbers in Iran war – NYT — RT World News– www.rt.com News Source
EXCERPT:
Dozens of soldiers were injured in previously unreported strikes last week, the New York Times says
The Pentagon has withheld information about dozens of service members injured during the war with Iran, The New York Times reported on Monday, citing US officials.
On Friday, Iran struck a US military site in Jordan, killing two soldiers, wounding four, and leaving one missing. According to the Times, however, dozens of service members were injured throughout the week in three other strikes against US forces in the country. Several helicopters were also reportedly damaged in the attacks.
An official told CNN that “it can take several days or even weeks” for an injury to be logged into the Defense Casualty Analysis System (DCAS), an official database. A total of 427 service members have been injured in the war with Iran, the Times said, citing official figures.
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell argued that “providing real-time information on non-fatal casualties to the media is the same as providing that information directly to our adversaries.”
Following Iran’s provocation, the Houthis of Yemen have pledged they will shut the Red Sea down. The hope is that shutting down two major shipping lanes, the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz, will cripple the global economy.

Washington Times: The Houthis, a Yemen-based rebel faction backed by Iran, announced a new blockade of the Red Sea on Monday, potentially opening a new front in the U.S.-Iran war even as Pakistani and Qatari mediators work to broker a ceasefire. Houthi military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree said in a video statement that the group would immediately impose a maritime blockade on Saudi Arabia, which borders the Red Sea. Houthi-affiliated media confirmed the blockade would take effect immediately, saying it was in response to what the group called Saudi Arabia’s illegal “blockade on Yemenis for over 10 years.”
