๐บ๐ธ๐ฏ๐ด๐ฎ๐ท - On the 17th of July Iran claimed to have struck U.S. troops / military assets in al-Tanf military base (a Free Syrian Army position), Palmyra direction, eastern Syria. The claims were absurd as all U.S forces south of the Euphrates have withdrawn, the last of which withdrew in early February 2026.

A significant number of U.S. personnel formerly stationed at al-Tanf had been relocated to Tower 22. The base is currently assessed to host approximately 200โ300 U.S. troops and serves as a key hub for counter-terrorism operations.
It's likely that Iranian officials intended to refer to Tower 22 rather than the Syrian garrison at al-Tanf.

๐ธ๐ฆ๐พ๐ชโก๏ธ- With the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed, Saudi Arabia has relied on its East-West oil pipeline to continue exporting crude oil. Kpler data shows that Saudi Arabia exported 25% less crude in March 2026 than in March 2025, while revenue still rose 4.3% due to higher prices.
The East-West pipeline is capable of pumping 7 million barrels of oil per day, with 2 million barrels of oil per day reserved for domestic refineries. Data shows that the Yanbu port (the Red Sea port connected to the East-West pipeline) has exported an average of 3.5-4 million barrels of crude per day over the last 2 months.
Of Saudi Arabia's approximately 6 million barrels of exported crude oil per day before the US-Iran war, about 81% of that is sent to Asia, that has now been blocked by the Ansarallah blockade. The only alternative route for these shipments would be to completely traverse around Africa through the Suez Canal and Mediterranean Sea, adding around one month of extra transport time in an already strangled oil market.
