Tunnels and bridges destroyed in U.S. attacks, shown on a map During recent U.S. attacks, which have focused mainly on southern Iran, several bridges, a tunnel, and a railway junction station in Hormozgan Province were targeted, causing serious damage. The bridges and tunnel are on routes connecting Hormozgan Province to Fars and Kerman provinces, and their destruction brought traffic to a halt on routes from Bandar Abbas toward Shiraz and Kerman Province. The Shahid Mirzaei Tunnel in the Golgah area, on the route from Bandar Abbas toward Hajjiabad, reopened one day after both portals, for inbound and outbound traffic, were destroyed. On other routes where bridges were targeted, the roads alongside the bridges have been used temporarily. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

“Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf,” Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, criticized U.S. policies in the region, writing in a post on his X account that while Washington claims to be trying to stop the war, it continues to transfer new military equipment to the region.

The Islamic Republic has reached the level of a full professor in recognizing this behavior, and has prepared itself accordingly to confront it.” Ghalibaf concluded that actions should support claims, not contradict them. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

According to the report, the proposal includes a 10-day ceasefire to find ways to revive the understanding reached between the Islamic Republic and the United States last month. Earlier, the Islamic Republic’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson said that proposals had been received through mediators. The remarks came amid military tensions between the United States and the Islamic Republic. Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Esmail Baghaei added, without providing details: “The basic point—that ideas have reached the Islamic Republic from some mediators in recent days—is confirmed.” The latest tensions began after the Islamic Republic attacked commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Greek shipping company Dynacom Tankers said that, as clashes between Iran and the United States escalated in the region, two tankers under its management were struck by projectiles of unknown origin on Monday while sailing in Omani coastal waters. Dynacom said the Malta-flagged tanker *Kaoumilis* was hit by two projectiles, causing a fire in its engine room and forcing the crew to abandon ship. In a statement, the company said: “After the vessel’s firefighting system was activated, the captain decided to evacuate the ship.” Dynacom added that all crew members were found safe by Omani authorities and taken ashore, and that the company was in close contact with all relevant regional authorities. British maritime risk management firm Vanguard said the incident occurred as the vessel was sailing about eight nautical miles northwest of Kumzar, Oman. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), which had earlier reported that the vessel had caught fire, said no environmental pollution had been reported. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Machine translation: U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Sunday that the United States is ready for diplomacy with Iran, as the U.S. military launched its ninth consecutive night of attacks. Speaking to reporters before departing for Manila, where he is set to attend the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit, Rubio said: “The United States is always prepared to reach a diplomatic solution. We have tried several times with Iran, and we will continue trying. If that door opens, we would be glad to see it.” Rubio criticized Iran for attacking ships and disrupting traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. A memorandum of understanding reached by the United States and Iran in June was intended to extend the ceasefire and resume traffic through the key waterway. “If they violate the terms of this understanding, they cannot expect it to remain in effect,” Rubio said. “They continue to send messages that they want to talk and negotiate, but what we respond to is their behavior, and their behavior is launching missiles and drones at ships, including tonight.” CNN reporter Kaitlan Maher asked Rubio what would happen if diplomatic efforts failed. Rubio replied: “I don’t think it would be good for Iran. I mean, Iran’s economy has collapsed.” CNN U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the incident on Saturday in northern Iraq that killed an American service member was an “accident,” and that the service member was injured while attempting to disarm a downed Iranian drone. Rubio told reporters Sunday: “Nothing the military does is safe. All of this is inherently dangerous, and we’re just grateful that such heroic Americans are serving our country in uniform.” Regarding Iran’s attack on Friday in Jordan, which killed two American service members, Rubio said: “One missile got through. We shot down almost all the missiles. One of them got through… It’s heartbreaking.” Rubio said he was “praying for their families and for the repose of their souls.” The number of American service members killed in the nearly five-month war with Iran has now reached 17.

CENTCOM post, machine translation: CENTCOM concludes weekend wave of strikes against Iran Tampa, Florida — U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) successfully concluded its ninth consecutive night of strikes against Iran on July 19 at 10 p.m. Eastern Time. CENTCOM assets and forces targeted Iran’s military command centers, air-defense positions and coastal surveillance sites, naval capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and communications networks, further reducing Iran’s ability to attack commercial vessels and civilian mariners transiting the Strait of Hormuz. At the direction of the Commander in Chief, the U.S. military is holding Iran accountable. CENTCOM forces remain at the highest level of alert—focused, lethal, and ready. CENTCOM Government sources: Notice No. 30 / Two oil tankers attempting to transit the unsafe Strait of Hormuz route exploded IRGC Public Relations: 🔹 Heroic and uprising people of Islamic Iran: Late last night, two violator oil tankers that, under the provocation and coercion of the child-killing U.S. military, were attempting to enter and exit the unsafe, accident-prone route south of the Strait of Hormuz, exploded and were stopped in their tracks. 🔹 This is our land, and the interference of the terrorist U.S. military from thousands of kilometers away has no legal legitimacy and will be dealt with decisively. As long as U.S. aggression in the region continues, this passage will not be safe for the transit of chemical fertilizer—or even a drop of oil or gas. 🔹 Let the aggressor military be prepared for our punitive operation in response to this unlawful violation. IRGC thanks the people of Jordan for their intelligence; C-17 heavy transport aircraft and P-8 command-and-control aircraft of the aggressor U.S. military were targeted with ballistic missiles at Aqaba Airport Public Relations of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps: In the name of God, the Subduer of the Tyrants: “If they break their oaths after making a covenant and attack your faith, then fight the leaders of disbelief—for they have no oaths—so that they may desist.” 🔺 Honorable people and devoted soldiers of Jordan, we thank you for your warm cooperation and precise intelligence, which enabled the accurate targeting by Islamic fighters and the destruction of 20 hangars housing U.S. child-killing forces in the Al Azraq area, and the killing of dozens of American terrorist forces. 🔺 IRGC Aerospace Force fighters, in Wave 21 of Operation Nasr 2, under the blessed code name “O Ruqayya (peace be upon her),” and dedicated to the little girls martyred in the Third Imposed War, with your assistance, targeted C-17 heavy transport aircraft and P-8 command-and-control aircraft belonging to the aggressor U.S. military at Aqaba Airport with ballistic missiles, inflicting heavy damage on several of them. 🔺 U.S. aggressor forces, who over recent decades have attacked more than ten Islamic countries and killed millions of Muslims, and are the principal supporters of the child-killing Zionist regime in its mass killing of the people of Gaza and destruction of the West Bank, are, under religious law, liable to have their blood shed. Every Muslim, wherever they can reach them, must kill these savage murderers. 🔺 Once again, we thank you for your efforts and cooperation. By fulfilling your religious duty, you are paving the way for the liberation of Holy Jerusalem. “If you support God, He will support you and make your steps firm.” 📡 @VahidOnline

Trump’s interview after the World Cup final ceremony Machine translation: Trump: We’re proud of our country. We’re very proud of what everyone did. We congratulate Gianni Infantino and all his staff on their incredible work. This was one of the biggest events of any kind ever held. So we’re very happy it was so successful. People came from all over the world and loved our country. You know, this event showed our country from a different angle. It was an incredible event; a great event, and I’m glad you all enjoyed it. Reporter: You said Argentina lost. Trump: You’re saying that? Reporter: You said Argentina lost. Trump: No, I didn’t say that. I think both teams played well. I’d say Spain really played better. Both played well. I mean, they made it to the final, and it was really very exciting. Spain seemed to dominate, but it was a very close match. So it was great; a great event, yes. Reporter: [The reporter’s question is unclear.] Trump: Well, we feel very bad. But, you know, those great people, those great patriots, fought all this time so Iran couldn’t have a nuclear weapon. Iran has been hit very, very hard. It has lost almost all of its military capability. There’s very little left for them. They have some missiles and drones. They still have some production capability, but not much. We have control of the Strait of Hormuz. They don’t control anything. So we’ll see what happens. Tonight we hit them very hard again, and we did it in honor of those great patriots, who are probably three, not two. Reporter: What will be the consequences of China’s interference in the U.S. election? Trump: We’ll talk about it later. We’ll talk with them, I’m sure. Reporter: Can I ask if you spoke with Carney, the prime minister of Canada? Trump: Yes, I did. Yes, I spoke with him. Reporter: How did the conversation go? Trump: It went well. But I told him, “You have to stop the smoke from these fires from coming in, because it’s poisoning our air.” Our air has been poisoned. I have a good relationship with Mark Carney. But, you know, we have to stop the fires up there. If we can help them, we will. But maybe they should pay us something for the damage, or maybe we should impose a tariff. The situation was terrible. Businesses were shutting down, especially in Michigan. If you look at Detroit, Michigan, they had to shut everything down. They had to close the auto plants and many other facilities. I don’t remember anything like that ever happening. This started to develop gradually over the past four or five years. Before that, I don’t remember anything like it ever happening. Reporter: Did you get a chance to speak with the prime minister of Spain, too? Trump: Yes. I spoke with Spanish officials and congratulated them on having such a great team. I spoke with a lot of people. Reporter: You’ve had tensions with Spain before. Trump: No, I have no tensions. I have tensions with no one. Reporter: [The reporter’s question about Spain is unclear.] Trump: Well, [unclear]. You know, it has a lot of capability. But as far as I know, in about a month [unclear], to bring it up to maximum capacity. So they’re going to send it and bring it up to maximum capacity. I think in about a month. Reporter: Mr. President, did you speak with the prime minister of Canada? Trump: Yes. I was just answering that. I spoke with him about it. I said, “You have to stop it.” It’s basically about forest management, and they need to know how to do it. If you go back four or five years, I don’t remember us ever having a problem like this. But now we do. Someone at the scene: Come this way, Mr. President. Reporter: You said you would end the war in four or five weeks. Trump: [The beginning of the answer is unclear.] What we’re doing now is much bigger. Before, we were doing something more limited; we wanted to stop them from getting a certain capability. Now we’re finishing the job. So it’s really not the same thing as before. What we’re doing now is eliminating any possibility of them getting a nuclear missile. If you look at it, after a week and a half—not four weeks; a week and a half or two weeks—we stopped them; probably… But I don’t want to use the word “probably.” 📡 @VahidOnline

Spain’s national football team defeated Argentina with a single goal from Ferran Torres in extra time to become champions of the 2026 World Cup. It is Spain’s second World Cup title, this time secured by beating the defending champions. @VahidHeadline The trophy presentation ceremony was not broadcast in Iran because of Trump’s presence. Trump, meanwhile, wouldn’t even step out of the camera frame as they captured the historic moment of lifting the trophy. 📡 @VahidOnline
