            <news:title>Brazilian President: 'Press Release on the Imposition of Unilateral Tariffs Against Brazil by the United States July 15, 2026, will go down in the history of relations between Brazil and the United States as a lamentable milestone.The Brazilian government repudiates the decision announced today by the U.S. government regarding the imposition of 25% tariffs on Brazilian products, based on Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974.There is no justification for unilateral measures against our country. According to statistics from the U.S. government itself, the United States has accumulated a surplus of $424.5 billion in goods and services with Brazil over the past 15 years.'</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>

            <news:title>Joint Maritime Information Center: Commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remained at reduced levels, with vessels transiting via both the southern Omani corridor and the northern Iranian-controlled route. Operator caution following recent attacks persisted, and several companies delayed passages. US-assisted commercial transits continued despite the elevated threat environment. Throughout the period, IRGC harassment activity persisted, including, hailing, UAS overflight, and targeted surveillance of merchant shipping. These actions reflected Iran’s intent to assert presence along key transit lanes and maintain pressure on AIS-active vessels.</news:title>
