(1)Iran to halt attacks if US maintains pause - Reuters

Iran would halt its attacks as long as the United States maintained its pause on strikes, but Tehran remained skeptical of Washington’s intentions, Reuters reported on Sunday, citing a senior Iranian source.

“Iran’s position remains ‘attack for attack’: if the attacks stop, Iran will also halt its operations. That message has already been conveyed to the United States,” the source was quoted as saying. “There is more skepticism than optimism about the halt in attacks. The prevailing view is that the pause is tactical rather than genuine.”

Maritime tracking service TankerTrackers.com identified two oil tankers involved in recent US naval blockade operations, noting that one vessel belongs to a sanctioned Iranian network and another operates under a different name.

TankerTrackers said the Comoros-flagged MT Charminar, which US Central Command boarded in the Arabian Sea, was placed under US sanctions in July 2025 for transporting Iranian fuel to Houthi forces in Yemen as part of the Shamkhani network.

The tracking firm also said the ship CENTCOM identified as the Mozambique-flagged MT Lavine is actually the tanker Disha. US forces disabled the vessel near the Persian Gulf on July 24 after its crew repeatedly attempted to breach the US naval blockade.

CENTCOM previously reported that US forces have redirected 12 commercial ships attempting to run the blockade, disabled two non-compliant vessels, and boarded two others.

WATCH Russian-US space crew return to Earth

A Soyuz capsule carrying two Russian cosmonauts and a NASA astronaut has touched down safely in the Kazakh steppe

Published 26 Jul, 2026 13:

A Russian-US space crew returned safely to Earth on Sunday after spending more than eight months aboard the International Space Station(ISS).

Russian cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergey Mikaev andNASA astronaut Christopher Williams landed in Kazakhstanaboard the Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft, which touched down under parachutes southeast of the town of Zhezkazgan.

The crew undocked from the ISS earlier in the day after transferring to the Soyuz spacecraft for the return journey.

“This morning, the spacecraft undocked from the Rassvet module. Its deorbiting and descent to Earth proceeded normally!”Russia’s Rosatom State Corporation said in a statement.

Following routine post-landing medical checks,recovery teams will fly the crew by helicopter to Karaganda, Kazakhstan, NASA said.

Kud-Sverchkov, Mikaev, and Williams had been aboard the ISS since November. Their 241-day mission wasthe first spaceflight for Williams and Mikaev, and the second for Kud-Sverchkov.

After landing, the crew was greeted with traditional Russian nesting dollsbearing hand-painted likenesses of each astronaut and cosmonaut, a longstanding post-mission tradition.

Ahead of the crew’s departure, their ISS crewmate Jessica Meir shared farewell photos of the team on X, calling it “A bittersweet day on the Space Station.”

Seven crew members remain on the ISS. Sunday’s departure of the Soyuz MS-28 trio officially begins the station’s Expedition 75 mission.

The ISS is expected to remain in operation until the end of the decadeafter Roscosmos and NASA agreed to extend its service through 2030 and jointly wind down the program. The gradual decommissioning process is scheduled to begin in 2028, with the station set to be deorbited anddeliberately sunk in the ocean by the end of 2030. Russia plans to replace the ISS with its own Russian Orbital Station (ROS).

Bibi just pissed off Trump and the US, Bibi Oz trying hard to escalate the war. If he said he’s in charge, his visit next week will not happen.

It would be balancing karma if the US and Iran do a peace deal, and I suspect that will happen.

It’s obvious he’s trying to piss Trump off
