US weapons shortage

A new report by American media reveals that President Donald Trump's war on Iran has depleted US weapons stockpiles to troubling levels by siphoning supplies from Asia and Europe. According to The New York Times, strikes on Iran have burned through thousands of multimillion-dollar missiles, which contain precision parts from a global web of suppliers and can take years to produce. Meanwhile, defense against Iran’s missiles and drones has worn down US stocks of air defense missiles to an extent that has alarmed top administration officials, and has caused the US to delay deliveries to European and Asian customers. The report added that the war on Iran has also forced the Pentagon to rush ships, aircraft and air defense units from across Europe and Asia to West Asia, causing a significant erosion of American firepower in those regions. The revelation came after an earlier report by The Washington Post said the Pentagon is pushing arms manufacturers to urgently ramp up weapons production. It added that the US Department of War has given arms companies 21 days to submit plans for significantly faster and more aggressive weapons production and delivery.

Israel war on media

The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate says it has documented more than 100 attacks by Israeli forces and settlers against Palestinian journalists and media workers in July 2026. According to a statement issued by the Syndicate’s Freedoms Committee, the documented attacks included detentions, beatings, interrogations, and obstruction of journalists’ work. It added that Palestinian journalists were also targeted with stun grenades and tear gas, were attacked by settlers, their homes and media institutions were raided, and their equipment were seized or destroyed. The syndicate stated that nearly a dozen attacks on Palestinian journalists were carried out by Israeli settlers, which included physical assaults, threats, and obstruction of their work across various areas of the occupied West Bank. The committee stressed that the figures confirm that Palestinian journalists continue to face multiple risks and restrictions while carrying out their professional work.

Yemen retaliatory attacks

Yemeni forces have launched a new wave of attacks on the Red Sea port city of Mokha, just hours after an earlier volley of ballistic missiles and drones hit the port. Yemen’s Almasirah network, citing a military source, said the targeting of Saudi enemy’s mobilization centers, weapons depots, and operation rooms in Mokha has resumed with ballistic missiles and drones. The Yemeni army has warned civilians to stay away from Saudi military sites and gathering points of the regime’s mercenaries. The new strikes followed an earlier wave of missile and drone attacks by the Yemeni armed forces on Saudi-affiliated mercenaries and their weapons depot in al-Mokha. Yemeni armed forces said in a statement that the retaliatory strikes were in response to the Saudi military buildup, which is aimed at attacking Yemen’s western coast, including the Ta’iz province. Yemen’s armed forces said the strikes destroyed large amounts of Saudi weapons and military equipment. According to medical sources, nearly a dozen Saudi-affiliated forces were killed following the attacks.
