⚡️🇺🇸 — U.S. House of Representatives passed the $1.15 trillion National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027 (H.R. 8800) in a 216-212 vote late Wednesday — Official results & documents overview.

➡️ Section 219 establishes the "United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative" for industrial integration in AI, quantum computing, and directed energy, authorizing $750 million for cooperative programs. The framework facilitates "military-to-military integration" via joint R&D and co-production of autonomous and counter-drone systems, including extensions of war reserve stockpiles for Israel.

➡️ Leadership attached the "SAVE America Act" rider requiring "documentary proof of U.S. citizenship" for federal voter registration and photo ID for balloting. Provisions also ban TRICARE funding for "gender transition procedures," prohibit biological males from women's sports at DoD schools, and authorize troop pay raises alongside military healthcare reforms.

➡️ The package prioritizes "great-power competition with China," nuclear modernization, and unmanned systems, passing with 6 Democratic "yes" votes and 7 Republican "no" votes, including Rep. Thomas Massie. Senate negotiations are expected to focus on "contentious add-ons" related to election policy and the depth of U.S.-Israel bilateral technological and industrial integration.

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 — House of Representatives adopted a Republican-only $95 billion budget proposal in a 216-214 vote to fund the Iran war and White House priorities — AP.

➡️ The package allocates $60 billion for the Pentagon and $13 billion for national security to support kinetic operations, described by Rep. Jodey Arrington as "bullets and bombs to finish the job." This occurs as Congress remains at a "standstill" over the use of force, which remains formally unauthorized despite ongoing military strikes and polling suggesting most Americans disapprove of Trump’s Iran strategy.

➡️ Funding includes $12 billion for farmers struggling under tariffs and $10 billion for voting law changes mandated by the "SAVE America Act" and "proof of citizenship requirements."

➡️ Speaker Mike Johnson navigated the measure through GOP divisions regarding the lack of "offsetting budget cuts," though the strategy faces uncertainty in the Senate following the strictly partisan House vote.

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 — Public Relations of the IRGC:

«Three oil tankers, incited and tempted by the US army, intended to pass through the mine-laden southern route of the Strait of Hormuz. After a severe explosion and fire on one of them, the other two quickly turned around and retreated.

The powerful Navy of the IRGC emphasizes that the Strait of Hormuz is under our control and will remain completely closed as long as the US continues its acts of aggression in the region. No oil tankers will enter or leave, and any ship that falls for the US's deception and intends to pass without coordination with the Islamic Republic of Iran will meet the same fate.»

TAMPA, Fla. - 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.

More than 50,000 U.S. service members are operating across the Middle East and remain highly vigilant, focused, lethal, and ready.
