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.

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.

“In recent weeks, the U.S. military has been attacking in Iran only during the evening and night hours (Middle Eastern time). Now, attacks are taking place during the day - an escalation.” — Kan Hebrew

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.

📝Syria’s official 2026 nominal GDP estimate of around $22 billion understates its real economy due to informal activity, black-market trade, weak reporting, and unrecorded transactions. Similar to Nigeria’s 2014 GDP rebasing, which added $240 billion overnight (from $270B to $510B), Syria’s economy could be reassessed higher.

A realistic estimate is $40-50 billion, with the extra $25–30B coming from informal services, agriculture, trade, remittances, manufacturing, and energy markets.

As Syria’s central bank stabilizes, alongside stronger statistics, improved tax and customs collection, and better administration, more activity will move into official records and GDP figures.

Wall Street Journal: Trump is leaning towards expanding operations in Iran, days after receiving briefings from his top advisors.

The recent strikes against Iran are aimed at destroying military capabilities before more complex operations are carried out.

IRGC spokesperson:

The enemy should not think it can turn the war into a war of attrition.

The enemy should not think it can continue the current equation of the conflict and turn the war into a war of attrition.

Currently, Iran's operations are focused on destroying America's offensive infrastructure in the region. Then, the next steps will begin.
