Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, speaker of Iran’s parliament and chief negotiator with US, mocked the US over surging energy costs on X.

“They wanted to punish Iran,” he wrote. “Punished themselves with triple-digit oil instead. 10/10 strategy,” with three applause emojis.

The post carried a cartoon of a cyclist labeled “World/US economy” jamming a stick into his own wheel under the caption “Let’s blockade Iran, Easy Peasy,” then sprawled on the pavement beside a list of $150 oil, global recession, $7 gasoline and 10% mortgages, ending with the bicyclist blaming Iran: “Iran did this.”

Brent crude jumped 7.2% Thursday to $100.88, its first time above $100 in two months, after Ansar Allah struck two Saudi tankers in the Red Sea. Just two weeks ago it sat below $72. Goldman Sachs says it could reach $120 by the fourth quarter if Hormuz stays disrupted.

US gasoline has climbed from under $3 in February to over $4, a figure Democrats raised repeatedly at this week’s Senate hearing on war funding.

Iran spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei (12 hours ago)

The repeated U.S. attacks and threats against Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities not only constitute a flagrant violation of the core principles of the UN Charter, international law, and the relevant resolutions of the IAEA Board of Governors, General Conference, and UN Security Council, but also reveal the United States’ deep-rooted enmity toward Iran’s scientific progress and technological development.

Iran’s nuclear activities have been fully declared to the IAEA in accordance with its safeguards obligations. Washington’s obsessive focus on Kolang Kouh where no nuclear activity is taking place is nothing more than a fabricated pretext for aggression, destruction, and sabotage. By the way, where is the Director General of the IAEA, who is also a candidate for UN Secretary-General? The Iranian people stand resolute and united, ready to confront with full strength any act of U.S. hostility or violation of their country’s sovereignty and national security.

Iran parliament speaker MB Ghalibaf (6 hours ago) (translated)

The equation of this war is clear: either all or no one.

In the region where we don’t sell oil, no one will sell oil. If our security is not ensured, no infrastructure will be safe and the security of the strait is in the absence of U.S. forces. We have repeatedly said that the situation in the strait does not go back to before the war.

Iran FM Seyed Abbas Araghchi (5 hours ago)

Our defense doctrine is clear: eye for an eye.

Any aggression against Iran, including our infrastructure, will compel a powerful and decisive response.

Those who contribute to such aggression, whatever the kind of support, will also be considered as legitimate targets.

Iran spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei (4 hours ago) (translated)

Today, we buried the newly found pieces of our children’s bodies in Minab; with each piece, a part of our being went to the ground. Every piece of our children’s small bodies is a lasting document of suffering that will never be erased from Iranian memory.

But this grief does not belong to one nation; it is a warning to the conscience of the international community. The greatest threat to human civilization is the normalization of an idea that, claiming to “help nations,” spreads all legal and moral boundaries to demonstrate the naked power, an idea that denies technology in the service of destruction, the media in the service of denial, and the truth in the service of false narratives, and calmly justifies the most heinous crimes.

It's a shame that throughout the US Secretary of War’s congressional hearing, not a single question was asked regarding the "human" aspect of America's ruthless war against the Iranian nation, fully aware that this was an illegal war of choice accompanied by countless war crimes, #Minab and #Lamerd being just two of them.

I missed 1 day. I use my posts as personal note taking. Sometimes I search through my old posts for information. Search engines suck for finding specific articles.

I try to add information to the post relevant for each day. I wish for other people to add discussion to the posts, but I understand if some people aren't interested.

I think the biggest development recently is that Ansarallah has said it is blockading Saudi Arabia ships since yesterday.

Based on reports of the past hour, I think centcom will make another attack announcement very soon.

Marco Rubio says Iran doesn't have civilian infrastructure because Iran only spends money on its military. If Iran has no infrastructure, then what is the US attacking? The US attacked the largest civilian bridge in Iran, 'B1 bridge', which was constructed starting in 2015.

Pete Hegseth testified before congress yesterday to request $37.5 billion additional funding for the Iran war on top of the regular Pentagon budget. The proposed 2027 military budget is $1.5 trillion dollars, almost double the military budget of 2026.

The propaganda narrative doesn't make sense on face value. "We have to bomb Iran because Iran doesn't build any new civilian infrastructure" What are you bombing? "We're bombing Iran's new civilian infrastructure."

Nah. It says he was being payed by a woman to fly to a remote village in Alaska and that woman had a 6-pack of Buddweiser. Alcohol is banned at the destination. The pilot and the passenger were both charged with misdemeanor. The incident happened in April 2012. The Alaska Supreme Court ruled that it was fair for his plane to be seized. Now it's going to the US Supreme Court.

US said it ended strikes on Iran after only 1 hour today. On previous day, the attack lasted for around 6 hours.

U.S. Forces Complete 11th Night of Strikes Against Iran

TAMPA, Fla. — At 8:15 p.m. ET on July 21, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) successfully completed the 11th consecutive evening of strikes against Iran.

CENTCOM assets targeted Iranian military operations centers, maritime capabilities, aircraft hangars, drone storage facilities, and military logistics infrastructure to further degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

Over the past three months, Iran has attacked more than 30 commercial vessels transiting the international waterway vital for regional and global trade. The unwarranted attacks have endangered hundreds of innocent mariners and undermined freedom of navigation.

Despite Iranian aggression, the Strait of Hormuz remains open for commercial vessel transit. Since early May, CENTCOM forces have helped facilitate the transit of approximately 900 commercial vessels and 450 million barrels of crude oil.

There was this article published in WSJ around 6 days ago about the US striking Pickaxe mountain. I think that was the earliest report. WSJ linked in the thread below.

https://hexbear.net/post/9041879

Today Trump met with the President of Lebanon Joseph Aoun at the White House. He's pro-Israel and pro-US. Aoun is basically telling Israel that they can occupy 20% of Lebanon. Hezbollah, which is a political party and military in Lebanon, is not okay with Israel stealing the homes of Lebanese people.

A reporter asks Trump about plans to attack Pickaxe Mountain. Trump gets snappy and says that people shouldn't know where the US plans to attack. Then he says that the US will attack Iran's "nuclear centrifuges" very soon.

Idk. Americans who drink Crown Royal are probably going to be upset.

It mentions Mamdani 1 time in the document. It says he refused to denounce DSA for supporting Assata Shakur. Though today in the news, the Trump admin is feuding with Mamdani because Mamdani told NYTimes that he's consulting lawyers to whether he can arrest Netanyahu during his planned visit to NYC in September. Trump put out a tweet around 4 hours ago saying that Netanyahu isn't allowed to be arrested in the US.

state department quote

It is difficult to overstate the success of Cuba’s Shakur strategy. Shakur’s celebrity status serves as yet another example of how Cuba’s distinctive genre of Third World leftism has graduated from the fringes of the 1960s into the mainstream. Her death was not just mourned by BLM activists; it was met with a flood of glowing obituaries in legacy American media. The NAACP praised the convicted murderer as “a revolutionary who never wavered in her fight for Black liberation and a symbol of resistance against oppression.” Democratic congresswoman Ayanna Pressley tweeted “Rest in Power,” and shared a video of herself leading a crowd in call-and- response recitation of one of Shakur’s slogans. On the campaign trail in 2025, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani refused to denounce a Democratic Socialists of America tribute to Shakur.

I searched for 'George Floyd' in the 100 page document and it appears 4 or 5 times. The document alleges that Cuba promoted the protests that occurred in response to George Floyd's murder. The implication being that protests were motivated by Cuba, rather than the injustice of police brutality.

All of this came on the heels of the Cuban regime’s gleeful support of the George Floyd uprisings. As protests and riots swept American cities in the summer of 2020, Cuban state media and officials issued daily commentary portraying the United States as a systemically racist country morally unfit to criticize Cuba’s human-rights record. Cuban President Miguel Díaz- Canel denounced America’s “practically uncontrolled expressions of hatred, racism, police brutality” in a September 2020 speech at the UN General Assembly. At the same time, the Cuban regime was violently repressing and imprisoning Afro-Cuban dissident artists and others who had criticized police killings of Afro-Cubans, and protested for artistic freedom inside Cuba.

I copied and pasted the list from the Ken Klippenstein article. Those were the names that he found in the article which he says that document says supports Cuba. He also wrote that there's 3 whole pages dedicated to DSA. You have to read the article or read the 100 page document for more specific details.
