File "Ramadan War"/107; Reflections on the impacts of the war against Iran in world media 🔺Guardian: The Pentagon has quietly updated its wartime casualty database, registering over 140 new military injuries and creating a new category called "overseas operations" for fatalities and injuries from 7 July. According to this report, the official casualty figures from the first phase of the Iran war, dubbed "Epic Fury," now show 14 deaths and over 400 injuries; however, these figures are disputed, as the Pentagon had recently lowered the total casualties from 18 dead and 482 injured. 🔺Reuters: The Islamic Republic of Iran has stated that it still maintains full control over the Strait of Hormuz and has no desire to resume peace talks with the United States. This firm statement came after U.S. President Donald Trump halted his two-week bombing campaign. An American official told Reuters that military commanders advised Trump that the targets available for attack are running out, and General Dan Keen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, expressed concern over the depletion of air defense weapon reserves used to protect U.S. bases in the region. 🔺CNN: Global oil prices plummeted sharply on Monday following a temporary halt in hostilities between Iran and the U.S. Brent crude fell by 6.7% to $90 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate crude fell by 6.1% to $84. However, market traders remain cautious. 🔺Al Jazeera: The armed forces of Yemen's attack on Aramco facilities in Jizan and Yanbu is a direct response to Saudi airstrikes against Hodeidah and the continued siege of Yemen. This operation demonstrates Yemen's capability to target Saudi Arabia's critical economic infrastructure, and the scale of responses will increase if attacks continue. The article also emphasizes that Sana'a sees the end of attacks and the lifting of the siege as essential conditions for establishing peace, holding Saudi Arabia as the main culprit of the war and humanitarian crisis in Yemen. 🔺RT: The U.S.-Saudi civilian nuclear cooperation agreement, while not officially meaning Riyadh is moving towards nuclear weapons, could provide the necessary technological infrastructure for such a path in the future. 🔺Xinhua: The Lebanese army has announced that the continuation of attacks and violations of agreements by the Israeli regime has obstructed the deployment of army forces in the south of the country and the return of residents to border villages. The Lebanese army stated in a statement that extensive destruction of homes, shelling of various areas, firing of heavy weapons, destruction of water supply facilities, and the burning of ancient olive trees are among the actions that have hindered the implementation of Lebanese forces' missions.
