U.S. Military Statement: We have initiated a new round of attacks against Iran; we are preparing to resume the naval blockade of Iran in the next half hour.

Despite the large number of airstrikes, most have involved small warheads, including UAV-dropped bombs and American one-way drones, rather than typical 1,000–2,000 lb fighter jet–dropped bombs.

The targets have mostly been lower-value sites such as telecommunications infrastructure and military barracks that are easy to rebuild or replace.

So far, there have been no strikes on major energy infrastructure, major military bases, nuclear sites, government buildings, ballistic missile and drone manufacturing facilities or assassinations.

Syria is now producing around 130,000 barrels of crude oil per day, with only 40% of its oil and gas wells operating.

This is about 270% higher than 2025’s 35,000 bpd and roughly 225–330% higher than 2024’s 30,000–40,000 bpd.

At this level, production covers around 50% of domestic oil needs, compared with only about 10–15% in 2024.

Trump: We hit Iran hard tonight, and tomorrow and the day after, and in the final stage, we will focus on their power plants and bridges.

We will blow up all their bridges if they don't return to the negotiating table.

- Syria will reach full pre-war oil production capacity by the end of 2027, pending the rehabilitation of oil wells and refineries.

- It can begin exporting crude oil after meeting full domestic demand, likely around 2028–2029.

- By 2031–2032, Syria will have a larger oil export capacity than it had pre-war, pending the full rehabilitation of oil production infrastructure and the first results of its offshore drilling contracts.

Offshore developments include Chevron’s Block 1 project and TotalEnergies-led Block 3 project (with ConocoPhillips and QatarEnergy), which will require exploration, appraisal, and offshore infrastructure development before
production. Both companies will start the first physical offshore exploration within 2 months.

Israeli Media: Hezbollah has begun reorganizing to resume attacks on northern Israeli settlements, amid the possibility of escalation with Israel.

@Mena_Live

Jerusalem Post:

Syrian president Al-Sharaa stated that Israel halted negotiations when the issue of withdrawal was raised, adding: "As long as they refuse to withdraw, why would we sign an agreement with them?"

Al-Sharaa also informed Trump that it is impossible to disarm Hezbollah before Israel withdraws from Lebanon, arguing that forcibly disarming Hezbollah would push the region towards chaos.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan conveyed a similar position to Trump, emphasizing that Israel is undermining regional stability and obstructing any political path to contain Iran's allies.

Since the start of the U.S.–Iran back-and-forth, Gulf countries and U.S. forces in Jordan, Iraq and gulf countries have been consuming an estimated 8–10 Patriot interceptors per day against Iranian missiles.

As of July 2026, Patriot PAC-3 MSE production is about 1.7 missiles per day (~52 per month), meaning current usage is roughly 5× higher than production.
