Kremlin demands Ukrainian threat be 'definitively destroyed' after Caspian Sea strike on Iranian vessel

One crewman was killed aboard the Iranian commercial vessel, with several others injured

❗️Saudi Aramco shuts down 400,000-barrel-per-day Jazan oil refinery following a missile and drone attack by Yemen's Ansarallah, according to Reuters.

The strike damaged the plant's Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) complex and tank farm area, prompting a shutdown while repair work is underway, with operations tentatively expected to resume by mid-August.

❗️Statement by Hamas:

"The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) affirms that the call by the so-called occupation's war minister, Israel Katz, to destroy a new refugee camp in the West Bank and work to displace its residents, is a fascist and terrorist call and an explicit expression of the genocidal and criminal mentality that governs the occupation's leaders, as well as an expression of their willingness to commit the most heinous crimes and violations against our Palestinian people.

We warn of the extremist Zionist government's criminal plans against the occupied West Bank, as unveiled in Katz statements, and in the previous statements of Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, who called for expanding the approach of displacing and destroying the refugee camps of Jenin and Tulkarem, as part of the terrorist occupation government's policy, which violates all values, conventions, and norms.

These ongoing crimes, the operations of killing, terrorism, and intimidation, and systematic destruction carried out by the enemy government and army in the West Bank cities and camps will not deter our free people, their valiant resistance, and rebellious youth from remaining steadfast, resisting, and confronting the occupation and its fascism, as our people are stronger than the occupation's brutality and schemes.

The international community, the UN and its institutions, and the international judicial bodies must assume their responsibilities in this regard, follow-up on these remarks, hold the occupation leaders accountable for their crimes, and stop their aggression against our land and people.

We call on our people across the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the occupied territories of 1948 to unite and mobilize to confront the crimes of the far-right occupation government and its settler groups, and to escalate resistance at all points of contact and confrontation."

❗️Laura Loomer brags that she is "going to kill Russians" whilst wearing an interesting 6 pointed star around her neck.

PS. Avi Yemini praised Laura for this type of behaviour.

🇷🇺 Kremlin: Kiev's terrorist threat must be eliminated

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that the terrorist threat from Kiev must be prevented and ultimately destroyed. He noted that Kiev's terrorist activity is expanding globally, including Iraq, confirming the necessity of a successful special military operation.

Other statements: no US request for a Putin call yet; US hasn't abandoned Ukraine track but has higher priorities; Russia-US contacts on settlement continue. Wildberries' plan to aid sellers hit by Kiev's warehouse attacks is highly praised. Pashinyan gave no exact date for Armenia's EU referendum. Putin-Aliyev call was warm and substantive. Putin to meet Matvienko today.

🇾🇪🇸🇦⚡- Ansarullah has announced that it targeted the Saudi tanker NCC GHAZAL in the Red Sea, claiming the vessel violated its blockade on Saudi ports along the Red Sea coast.

This would mark the fourth Saudi tanker reportedly struck by the Yemeni group in less than a week since the blockade was announced.

🔥🇨🇳Chinese soldiers undertake military drills with robot troops leading the breach, showcasing next-generation battlefield tactics.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Medvedev just put the numbers on the table and they cut through the Western noise like a hypersonic.

Around 200,000 signed military service contracts in the first six months of this year. Another 16,000 plus walked straight into volunteer formations and headed for the special military operation zone. Nearly 40,000 more filled out the unmanned systems units. The tempo is holding in July. The Armed Forces’ personnel requirements for the first half? Fully met.

Then the line that should end the conversation: “The enemy’s attempts to spread all sorts of nonsense about the country preparing for mobilization are nothing more than a false provocation.” He called it what it is — propaganda timed for election season, an effort to destabilize the situation inside Russia and manufacture negative sentiment out of desperation.

So let’s ask the only question that matters. Why would Russia need a mass mobilization when the body exchange ratio already tells the entire story? Regular swaps of roughly a thousand dead Ukrainians for around thirty Russians. That is not a talking point. That is the war reduced to arithmetic.

Russia has been adding over 400,000 volunteer contract professional soldiers every year. Not kidnapped desperate draftees, that's Kiev. Contract professionals who choose the fight. Meanwhile Ukraine is being bled dry so a drug addict puppet president can keep dancing for his masters in Washington and London. The asymmetry is the strategy. The numbers are the verdict. The rest is just the noise they make in desperation knowing they're living on borrowed time.
