Oil prices are set to rise once more as renewed US attacks on Iran leave the Strait of Hormuz, a major artery of oil trade, closed again. With US strategic petroleum reserves at their lowest in over 40 years, America will have trouble keeping oil prices below US$100 a barrel, as it has mostly done in the war so far. Analysts warn that sustained oil prices above US$100 risk accelerating inflation, depressing consumption and inviting recession. They have also turned their attention to China and...

Boris Johnson on Ukraine: Paradoxically, you know, Trump could be the guy really to put the hard word on Putin and get this thing done. And there's no doubt that when it comes to foreign policy initiatives, this is a guy who's willing to do some pretty tough things, right? He's the first American president to use violence against Iran, right? Whatever you think about the logic and how that's worked out, he is, I think, the guy. Source: Sky News
Reza Pahlavi: I began receiving some DMs in my social media by elements that say, you know, "I'm a basij in Mashhad," or "I'm a member of the IRGC in such and such country. We hate this regime. We're not with them. We're looking for an opportunity to break away." It's not that I'm in fact talking to the IRGC command — not at all. But there were elements of the Sepah, of course the military as well, that would communicate with me discreetly. Source: Reuters
Reza Pahlavi: I've reached out to people who were at the time my father's worst enemies. Today they are fully on board working with me.

Boris Johnson on Ukraine: What we've got to do is get this thing over. One of the reasons it isn't over is that Putin doesn't really know from the West what we want. As long as Putin still thinks there's a chance that he can keep Ukraine ambiguous, he'll keep attacking. One of the ways to get the war over is for Washington, London, Paris—everywhere—to declare again what used to be the policy, which is that Ukraine should join NATO. Source: Sky News

A Turkish-owned bulk carrier came under Russian fire off Odesa, killing ten of the eighteen people aboard, including the pilot who had just come on to guide the ship out.

In Odesa, the number of casualties from the Russian attack on the afternoon of July 20 has risen to eight; three people were killed.
