Iranian media: attack on US base in Jordan; sirens sound in Amman
Press sources report that air-raid sirens have been activated in the Jordanian capital, Amman: this is according to the Iranian news agency Tasnim. According to initial reports, a military base called Muwafiq al-Sultani in Jordan has been hit by a missile strike. The repeated and intense explosions in Jordan, following the attack on the US base, have not ceased and are continuing. According to reports from the Al-Aqsa network, cited by the Iranian news agency IRNA, loud explosions can be heard coming from the port of Aqaba and other areas of Jordan.

Centcom: the thirteenth consecutive night of attacks on Iran has come to an end
The United States has concluded its thirteenth night of strikes against Iranian military targets, carried out by forces under the US Central Command (Centcom), at 9.00 pm Washington time (3.00 am on Friday in Italia). According to a statement posted on X, Centcom “struck Iranian military command centres, drone depots, communications networks, coastal surveillance posts and maritime capabilities, with the aim of further reducing the threat posed by Iran to civilian seafarers and commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz’. The international waterway remains open to transit despite recent attacks by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Commercial vessels “continue to sail freely through the strait with US military support”. Currently, over 50,000 US military personnel are deployed across the Middle East. The post also includes a short video showing several targets struck during the operations.

Iran: Tehran is rapidly rebuilding sites hit by US-Israeli air strikes
Tehran is rapidly rebuilding infrastructure damaged by air strikes carried out in recent months by the United States and Israel, ranging from missile sites to logistical infrastructure. This is reported by the Wall Street Journal, citing Israeli and Western officials and an analysis of satellite imagery. According to the newspaper, the satellite images show restoration work at missile bases, bridges, ports and production facilities. At Kangavar, in western Iran, photographs from Planet Labs had documented damage in March to the access roads of a missile base and the connecting road. A few weeks later, images from Airbus showed a resurfaced road and new tunnel entrances. The Wall Street Journal also reports that, according to an Israeli military official, a bridge hit by three bombs was repaired by Iran within a few days, leading the Israeli authorities to question the effectiveness of certain attacks. According to the newspaper, satellite images from Planet Labs in early July show partial reconstruction work at a shipyard in the port of Bandar Anzali, on the Caspian Sea, linked to the Revolutionary Guards. Israel had stated that it had struck dozens of military targets in the area, including warships, the port, a command centre and the shipyard.

Nyt, «Iran pronto a colpire Tel Aviv se Trump darà seguito a minacce»
Secondo quanto riportato dal New York Times, due funzionari iraniani affermano che Teheran colpirà Tel Aviv se Trump darà seguito alle minacce. Alla notizia è dato risalto dal Times of Israel. Il quotidiano Usa riporta le dichiarazioni dei funzionari, secondo i quali se il presidente statunitense Donald Trump darà seguito alle minacce di colpire Teheran e le infrastrutture iraniane, la Repubblica Islamica risponderà attaccando Tel Aviv e chiedendo al gruppo ribelle Houthi in Yemen di imporre un blocco marittimo sullo stretto di Bab el-Mandab. Durante la prima fase della guerra, iniziata il 28 febbraio, le Forze di Difesa Israeliane (Idf) hanno partecipato agli attacchi contro l’Iran e Teheran ha lanciato centinaia di missili balistici contro Israele. Tuttavia, Israele è rimasto fuori dall’attuale ripresa del conflitto e l’Iran non ha colpito lo Stato ebraico nelle ultime settimane.
