🔴 Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters Warns: No Permission for the U.S. to Intervene in the Strait of Hormuz, and Any Regional Cooperation with It Will Be Considered a Declaration of War

🔻The spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters stated that Iran will never allow the United States to intervene in the management of the Strait of Hormuz under any circumstances.

🔻He stressed that Tehran will respond firmly to any attempt by the U.S. military to disrupt or undermine security along the routes used by commercial vessels and oil tankers, particularly if such movements take place outside designated shipping lanes or without authorization from the Iranian armed forces.

🔻In a related statement, the spokesperson issued a strong warning to regional leaders, saying that any cooperation or logistical support provided to the U.S. military would be classified as a hostile act against Iran’s sovereignty and national security.

🔴 Yemeni forces launch intensive missile attacks on strategic targets deep inside Saudi Arabia

In response to the airstrikes carried out today by the Saudi air force on Sana'a International Airport, Yemeni forces announced the execution of a series of concentrated missile attacks targeting vital and military sites inside Saudi territory.

📌 Details of the Yemeni response:
Yemeni forces have so far carried out four consecutive waves of attacks targeting strategic sites, including:

Abha International Airport
Military sites in the Asir region
Prince Sultan Air Base
A power generation plant deep within the Hejaz region

Field reports indicate the continuous flow of missiles, with new launches recorded moments ago.
Given that Abha Airport and King Khalid Air Base are located approximately 100 kilometers from the Yemeni border, advanced artillery rockets, including the "Badr" class, were likely used in these strikes.

This Yemeni response follows the Saudi attack targeting Sana'a Airport today, prompting Yemeni forces to emphasize that this aggression will not go unanswered or unpunished, thereby declaring the end of the military "de-escalation" phase.

🚨 Targeting of several "violating" vessels in the Strait of Hormuz
Tasnim News Agency


Local sources reported to the "Tasnim" News Agency that a number of vessels described as "violating" were targeted while transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump:


"The Strait of Hormuz is open, and will remain open, with or without Iran. We are reinstating the 'Iranian Blockade'—so named because it only stops ships or agents doing business with Iran from entering or leaving.

All other nations will have fair and open use of the Strait. The United States of America will henceforth be known as the 'Guardian of the Strait of Hormuz'.

As part of the Fairness Principle, costs will be recovered at a rate of 20% of the value of all shipments, to cover all necessary costs of providing safety and security to this very troubled part of the world. Implementation and configuration will begin immediately."

🔴 CENTCOM announces resumption of naval blockade on Iran

📍 The Persian Gulf

▪️ The United States Central Command (CENTCOM), under the direction of the Commander-in-Chief, announced the resumption of a naval blockade on maritime traffic traveling to and from Iranian ports, effective July 14 at 4:00 PM Eastern Time.
▪️ Central Command confirmed that it will enforce this blockade on all vessels doing business with Iranian ports and coastal areas, while remaining committed to facilitating the movement of navigation for all other compliant vessels in regional waters.
▪️ Central Command also called on mariners in the Gulf of Oman and the entrances to the Strait of Hormuz to monitor maritime advisories and communicate with US naval forces via Channel 16 to ensure their safety.

With the official imposition of the naval blockade, all clauses of the memorandum of understanding have been violated, and the US government has officially announced that a new round of war against Iran has begun.
This memorandum did not even reach the halfway mark of its lifespan, and its gains for both sides were as follows:

▪️ Iran:
Sold approximately 60 million barrels of oil and imported some materials and goods.

▪️ America:
Succeeded in significantly lowering domestic gasoline prices.
Trump managed to ease the pressure on him to stop the war.
In addition to refitting and replacing US military equipment in the region.

US President Donald Trump stated in an interview:

"I am going to hit Iran very hard tonight and tomorrow. The memorandum of understanding was a test, and they did not respect it."

Trump added that he is on "very good" terms with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but noted:

"Sometimes I disagree with him, and I make sure he knows it."

When asked about "Pickaxe" Mountain, located south of Natanz, he replied:

"We have a lot of surveillance capability. But Pickaxe is a potential target, a potential target for a big, direct hit right at the entrance. And I think you might see that."

📌 Margin Note:
Pickaxe Mountain: This is the Western designation for the area known in Iran as "Kuh-e Kolang" (Pickaxe Mountain) south of the city of Natanz. US intelligence estimates indicate that it houses fortified underground nuclear facilities, and Washington classifies it as a strategic military target due to its mountainous terrain and advanced engineering preparations.

United States Terrorist Forces Central Command (CENTCOM):

At exactly 4:45 PM Eastern Time today, US Central Command began launching the third consecutive night of strikes against Iran, under the direction of the Commander-in-Chief.

These strikes will continue to exact a heavy price on Iranian forces and undermine their capability to attack innocent civilians and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

🔴 Scheduled program of visits and discussions for the Iraqi Prime Minister in Washington:

Meeting with Donald Trump

Political meeting with the US Vice President

An official invitation in honor of Senator Marco Rubio, with a proposal for both Tom Barrack and Joshua Harris to attend
Signing a memorandum of understanding (concerning the Syrian file) in the presence of Tom Barrack

Meeting with the US Secretary of the Treasury

Meeting with the US Secretary of Energy

Meeting with the US Secretary of Commerce

Meeting with the Director of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)

📌 Note:

What Ali Al-Zaidi is doing during this visit comes at a sensitive time, and is an integral part of the battle whose explosions we are hearing now in southern Lebanon and southern Iran.

These steps will have serious repercussions, including the imposition of a tighter blockade on Lebanon and the Islamic Republic, and leaving Iraqi sovereignty and wealth at the mercy of the wind. This visit, with all the files it carries, is considered by the opposing forces to be "high treason."

The Coordination Framework and its leaders (such as Al-Maliki, Hammoudi, Al-Hakim, Al-Khazali, and others)
are participants in and responsible for this "high treason" through their support for these directions and paths.

🚨 UAE Ministry of War announces targeting of two oil tankers with cruise missiles

📍 Strait of Hormuz

The UAE Ministry of War announced that the national tankers "Mombasa" and "Al-Bahia" were subjected to an attack by two cruise missiles while transiting the southern passage of the Strait of Hormuz within Omani territorial waters.

📌 Results of the attack:

One crew member of the tanker "Mombasa" was killed and 8 others were injured (4 of them in critical condition).

The tankers sustained direct hits to the engine room, leading to the immobilization of one of the two tankers.

@observer_5

Trump:

"

Venezuela has massive amounts of oil that we control."

📌 We say:

Al-Zaidi's visit to Washington, which is set to culminate in an oil agreement, will turn Iraqi wealth into a direct tool serving US national security, thereby cementing a state of humiliation and dependency for Iraq, just as Venezuela was humiliated and its resources seized.
