The governments of Colombia and Slovenia have flipped their stance on Israel following elections in both countries where pro-Palestinian administrations were voted out.
Within one month of each other, leftist governments in both nations were replaced by right-wing leaders who vowed to restore full diplomatic relations with Israel and inaugurate embassies in Jerusalem, the Jerusalem Post reported.
Colombia’s next foreign minister, Omar Bola Escobar, promised that on Wednesday during a meeting in Washington, D.C., with his Israeli counterpart, Gideon Sa’ar.
Last year, then-Slovenian Prime Minister Robert Golob banned all imports from Jewish settlements in the West Bank.
Upon being named prime minister, Janez Janša announced that the country would cancel its previous recognition of Palestine and move its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Meanwhile, Israel will open an embassy in the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana.
5 hours agoLeaked Iran report finds record public anger as regime focuses on holding power
A confidential report prepared for Iran’s presidency is raising a consequential question for Washington and its allies: Do extraordinary levels of public anger and support for systemic change justify reassessing whether the Islamic Republic may be more vulnerable to regime change than previously believed?
The classified document, titled “What Iran Wants,” reportedly found that only 9% of respondents supported maintaining the status quo, with 53% calling for fundamental or structural reforms and more than 19% favoring changing the political system outright.
Taken together, nearly three-quarters of those surveyed reportedly supported either deep structural reform or replacement of the existing system — findings that could strengthen arguments that Iran’s political crisis has moved beyond dissatisfaction with individual leaders or policies.
IranWire reported on July 13 that it had obtained the document, which was compiled by Ali Rabiei, President Masoud Pezeshkian’s social adviser and a former government spokesman. It was based on polling conducted by the Ara Opinion Research Center in May 2026 and circulated among institutions within Iran’s governing structure in June, according to the outlet.
Miad Maleki, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital that the report should prompt a fresh assessment of the potential for political upheaval inside Iran.
“If anything, this research understates the depth of Iranians’ rage,” Maleki said. “And that is what makes it remarkable: even a survey prepared for the regime’s own president, by its own pollsters, records anger levels above 63%, well beyond the highest rate Gallup has ever recorded anywhere in the world, alongside 81% struggling to put food on the table and a majority expressing hopelessness.”
Maleki cautioned that polling conducted under an authoritarian government cannot be treated as precise because respondents may fear the consequences of expressing opposition.

The United States used its ceasefire with Iran as a strategic window to restock weapons and reinforce its warships and aerial refueling fleet while keeping negotiations alive, according to Mohsen Rezaei, a military advisor to Iran’s supreme leader.
If talks between Washington and Tehran resume, Rezaei said in state television, the Trump administration would seek to effectively revise the memorandum of understand (MOU) reached in Pakistan and effectively draft a new MOU, Iran International reported.
However, circumstances have changed and Iran could not accept that, Rezaei said.
6 hours agoIran orders media to hide civilian damage from ongoing U.S. airstrikes: report
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council has instructed media outlets to limit reporting on damage to civilian infrastructure amid consecutive days of U.S. attacks.
The confidential order was obtained and reported by Iran International.
Media publishers were told to “refrain from publishing vital information,” avoid creating “fear and alarm among the public,” and withhold details about the extent of destruction or its impact on the delivery of public services.
Regarding public services, media outlets were ordered to describe disruptions with phrases such as “the issue is under review and being resolved,” rather than reporting on the extent of the damage , the news report said.
Such information could be used “by the enemy to assess the effectiveness of its attacks,” the directive states.

Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., decried a harassment campaign by opponents of Israel, despite his recent vote to cut off military aid to the nation.
Smith was one of 104 House lawmakers who voted for an amendment to cut off aid to Israel, though the amendment ultimately failed.
Smith, who identifies as a supporter of Israel, said he was “deeply concerned about the tactics used by those on the far left to advocate cutting off aid to Israel.”
However, he noted that he remains frustrated by the way Israel has conducted its war against Hamas.
In a statement, Smith said his home was vandalized, a fire was set in his driveway, one of his staff members was assaulted, activists shut down town hall meetings, and his neighbors’ lives were disrupted by demonstrations.
“Those who engage in this type of behavior model a dangerous form of corrosive politics that seeks to intimidate those who disagree with them,” Smith added. “We must be able to have civil discourse if we want to solve difficult problems.”

Chevron has signed two memorandums of understanding (MOUs) to expand oil operations in Iraq and start studies for a pipeline bypassing the Strait of Hormuz.
A Chevron executive told Fox News that the pipeline will likely run north through Syria to the Mediterranean Sea. While the energy corporation will also study a potential route through Turkey, the primary focus remains on Syria.
“Each of the Government of the Republic of Iraq and the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic has respectively signed a Heads of Agreement with Urbacon Concessions Investments WLL, TIC Infra II LLC and Chevron Business Development EMEA Ltd. in connection with a potential cross-border oil pipeline project from Iraq through Syria to the Mediterranean Sea,” a company spokesperson said. “Beyond this, it is not our policy to comment on specific details related to commercial matters.”
The Strait of Hormuz has long been a point of contention between the United States and Iran, the latter of which has repeatedly tried to assert control over the narrow waterway.
Chevron previously signed an agreement with Iraq last year for the Nasiriyah project, which comprises four exploration blocks and the development of other currently producing oil fields.
“Chevron Business Development EMEA Ltd. and Thi Qar Oil Company have signed an addendum to the 19 August 2025 Heads of Agreement which advances commercial negotiations in respect of the Nasiriyah Field and surrounding Nasiriyah Exploration Area,” the Chevron spokesperson said. “Chevron looks forward to sharing its expertise in successfully developing oil and gas projects to support Iraq in further developing its energy resources.”

Thirty days after the U.S. and Iran entered a two-month negotiating period intended to produce a final peace agreement between the two countries, they appear closer to a widening war than to a diplomatic breakthrough.
Friday marks the halfway point of the 60-day window established under the June 17 memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran, which called for negotiations for Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, sanctions and freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
Friday marks the halfway point of the 60-day window established under the June 17 memorandum of understanding deal between the U.S. and Iran, which called for negotiations over Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, sanctions and freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
But the first half of that period has been marked by repeated Iranian attacks on commercial vessels, hundreds of U.S. strikes on Iranian military targets and retaliatory missile and drone attacks across the region, and President Donald Trump declaring the ceasefire “over.”

The U.S. is sending dozens of refueling planes to Israel ahead of a potential expansion of scope in the Iran war, Axios reported Friday, citing Israeli and U.S. officials.
The Trump administration notified Israel it was sending the planes following a meeting in which President Donald Trump was presented with plans to conduct a large scale military operation in Iran.
The plans, Axios reported, involved the U.S. bombing critical Iranian infrastructure facilities such as power plants as well as increased strikes on nuclear facilities such as the Pickaxe Mountain site.
Trump has reportedly not made any final decisions, but U.S. strikes on Friday did destroy Iranian infrastructure, particularly a number of bridges in the country’s south.
9 hours agoGen. Jack Keane details US strategy in Strait of Hormuz
Gen. Jack Keane (ret.) laid out the U.S. strategy in the Strait of Hormuz, arguing during a Friday appearance on Fox News that the U.S. is returning to operations developed during Project Freedom.
“We’re executing Project Freedom. Remember, that was the plan to open the Straits of Hormuz back on May the 4th. It was a plan, at that time, to be about two weeks in length. It was a very comprehensive plan, and we’re executing it. We’re not naming it, but that’s the fact,” Keane posited.
“And that plan is, one, to secure the straits, to clear the strait, and then also to protect shipping. And what you’re seeing is, one, the focus to take down all the means for them to interfere with shipping, missiles, drones, fast boats, and then the things that help and enable it, command and control, sensors, radars, and the logistical infrastructure support for it. And then we’re also hitting Iran’s ability to retaliate against the Gulf states, U.S. Bases, or Israel, if they choose to do that as well,” he continued.
Keane’s comments came after the U.S. completed its sixth consecutive day of targeted strikes in Iran on Thursday. The campaign destroyed a number of bridges in Iran’s southern region and took out a surveillance tower at a key Iranian port.
Keane also remarked on efforts by the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen to shut down shipping in the Red Sea.
“The Houthis, certainly, can fire and initially shut it down,” Keane said of the Red Sea, “but then they’re going to pay an awful price,” he continued.
“We came close to taking just about everything away from the Houthis once before. We didn’t finish that campaign because they were willing to do what? They were willing stop interfering with the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, which Bad Mandab leads to it. And they know full well what’s coming if they attempt to do this. And it would likely bring the Israelis back into this in major combat operations again. So that’s their choice to make, certainly, but we can deal with that if they execute them,” Keane concluded.

11 hours agoUS forces destroy Iranian surveillance tower in effort to secure Strait of Hormuz
U.S. forces successfully destroyed the Chah Bahar Shahid Kalantari Port surveillance tower in Iran during precision strikes on July 16, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced Saturday.
“On July 16, U.S. forces successfully destroyed the Chah Bahar Shahid Kalantari Port surveillance tower, part of a maritime surveillance network along Iran’s Gulf of Oman coastline used for decades by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to track and target commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz,” CENTCOM announced in a Friday morning X post.
“The destruction of the tower directly degrades IRGC’s ability to coordinate attacks on innocent civilian crew members. Furthermore, the strike protects freedom of navigation in regional waters for all vessels, except for ships attempting to violate the ongoing U.S. naval blockade against Iran,” the post concluded.
CENTCOM shared a video of the strike on X, posting a video that showed a projectile obliterating the tower and the aftermath showing the destroyed structure’s wreckage.
The strike marked the sixth consecutive day of U.S. strikes on Iran, a significant escalation in the war following the collapse of the June memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the countries.
The U.S. military strategy has shifted to prioritizing the protection of commercial transit and the securitization of the Strait of Hormuz.

14 hours agoI’ve studied military strategy. Trump now faces Iran’s oldest battlefield trick
War is not checkers. It is chess, a game that began in India and was refined and carried through Persia, where “shah” meant king and “shah mat” meant the king was helpless. The language matters because strategy, whether in chess or war, is not only about placing an opponent in check. It is about knowing how to finish the game.
President Donald Trump holds the stronger pieces, and Tehran knows it. That is why Iran is not trying to match America move for move. It is trying to widen the board before Washington decides how to close the game.
The pattern is now familiar. Trump strikes Iranian military targets. Iran pressures commercial shipping. Trump tightens the maritime noose. Iran threatens new energy routes. Each American move is answered not by matching American firepower, but by shifting the pressure somewhere else: at sea, in oil markets, across Gulf capitals and inside Washington’s political debate.
