For the second time, the location where F-18 fighter jets are stationed and the large equipment hangars of the U.S. army at the Al-Azraq base in Jordan were targeted by attack drones. Relying on the faith, knowledge, and preparedness of its forces, the Islamic Republic of Iran's Army will decisively defend the security and territorial integrity of the country and will not leave any threat unanswered. Our defensive power is not for initiating any war, but we have a firm will and unwavering determination to safeguard the independence and territorial integrity of Iran' - reports</news:title>

However, no ship dared to violate regulations or cooperate with the United States, and naturally, there was no incident. This attack was intended to conceal their defeat and inability. Our valiant Islamic fighters responded decisively, punishing and suppressing the aggressors. In the fourth wave of Operation "Nasr 2," the main support and logistics center of the U.S. Army in Western Asia, located in Mina Abdullah, Kuwait, was set ablaze and destroyed. The retaliatory operations of our fighters continue, and the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the end of American mischief'</news:title>

            <news:title>Public Relations Department of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC): 'In the fifth wave of Operation "Nasr 2," the NS1 management center, command and control center, large warehouses of military parts and equipment, and fuel storage facilities of the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain were struck and destroyed. The enemy should know that now that their pirates have blocked the route for exporting oil and gas to the world from the Indian Ocean, a move that threatens the economic interests of America's competitors, they should expect other export routes for oil and gas, which benefit America and its allies, to be closed. The export of oil and gas from this region will be either for everyone or for no one.'</news:title>

            <news:title>The men and women of ICE are doing a GREAT job, one that has to be done. CRIME IS WAY DOWN IN AMERICA, in many cases with numbers that haven’t been seen in decades. The Open Border Policy of Sleepy Joe Biden allowed 25,000,000 people to pour into our Country, unchecked and unvetted. Many were Criminals, and we have to get them out. In order to do this, we must be strong, tough, and smart, and we CANNOT give up one of I.C.E.’s most important and effective Crime Fighting tools, THE TRAFFIC STOP! Once we do, we are playing right into the criminal’s hands. The Radical Left Dumocrats would like to see this done, but it won’t happen on my watch. I.C.E., be judicious, fair and smart, and go back and do your very important job. Keep those Crime Stat Records coming! Remember, you are loved and respected in America. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP</news:title>

            <news:title>Zelenskyy: Ukraine is building its ballistics and deep strikes for the first time. And these are not just developments, but a real force that is already working and that overcomes distances that were previously unattainable. 2884 kilometers. This is the distance from here to the Omsk Refinery. Historical distance, historical accuracy. And unlike Russia, which is at war with residential buildings, schools and churches, Ukraine is hitting Putin's "sponsors" in this war and the tools that help him kill. Someone says that with modern technologies we are returning Russia to the Middle Ages. Someone remembers Napoleon, during whose time Moscow was burning. But for Ukraine, what is valuable is not pathos, but the result. Our main goal is not Russia without gasoline, but Ukraine without Russia, Ukraine without war, Ukraine with Europe and Ukraine and Europe without the Moscow threat. From a speech on the occasion of Ukrainian Statehood Day - the Day of the Baptism of Kyivan Rus - Ukraine. </news:title>

            <news:title>Zelenskyy: I am delighted to welcome in Kyiv the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. Today, on the Day of Ukrainian Statehood, it is entirely fitting that we devote so much attention to our relations with the European Union.We are working to open clusters in the negotiations on Ukraine's accession. Right now, we are eagerly anticipating that the next package of European sanctions will take effect—the 21st package already. We have done a great deal to integrate our defense capabilities and production with Europe's.Today, there is also the first document forming the basis of the Drone Deal—a major defense agreement between Ukraine and the European Union. This is truly a historic step in our relations. And going forward, we expect financial support from the EU for our anti-ballistic program.We discussed today what we need to do together with the European Union to prepare for winter: energy remains an unwavering priority.Thank you, Ursula! </news:title>

            <news:title>Marco Rubio: 'Today, President Trump directed USTR to impose a 25% tariff on most Brazilian imports. Let there be no confusion about why: President Lula and his government have not negotiated with the US in good faith.His economic policies are bad for Americans and bad for Brazilians. For the past year, Lula has put his own ego ahead of making a deal for the welfare of the Brazilian people, and these tariffs are the price for that.'</news:title>

            <news:title>IRGC: 'Dear and honorable people of Jordan,Last night, the U.S. military, in a blatant act of aggression, used air bases located in Jordan to target various locations in Iran, including the vicinity of a children's cancer treatment hospital. As a result, 121 children with cancer were evacuated from the facility. This is not the first time the U.S. has committed such a crime using bases stationed in Jordan. Previously, 168 children were killed in a U.S. attack on a primary school in Minab. In response to these aggressions, the IRGC's aerospace forces, in the eighth wave of Operation Nasr 2, under the auspicious code name "Ya Zeinab al-Kubra (peace be upon her)," launched ballistic Khaybar Shekan missiles and destroyed the ramp for storing American fighter jets and the new U.S. command and control center in Western Asia, located at a vast base in Al-Azraq, Jordan.'</news:title>

            <news:title>Zelenskyy: In Kyiv, as of now, two fatalities are known from the Russian missile strike this night. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Five people wounded, including a child. The Russians damaged a multi-story building, warehouse facilities, and vehicles. Due to Russian strikes on the Kharkiv region, four people have been injured. The region was attacked with drones and an aerial bomb. Ordinary residential buildings have been damaged—completely civilian targets: a movie theater, tennis courts. In Sumy, they struck an ordinary park; in the region, they attacked a tractor brigade. In Zaporizhzhia, multi-apartment buildings were damaged. There is damage to energy grid facilities in Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, and Donetsk oblasts.Overall, the Russians used 13 missiles, of which 8 were ballistic, and 151 drones. Just this July, this night marked the sixth ballistic attack on Kyiv. </news:title>
