BREAKING: The U.S. is preparing for a significantly expanded military campaign against Iran — flooding Israel with dozens of additional refueling tankers, turning Ben Gurion Airport into a forward base for expanded attacks on Iran, a move Tehran has warned will make Israel a direct target. Axios reports Washington has asked Israel to accept dozens more refueling aircraft, adding to the 30 already stationed there. Israeli officials are reportedly concerned — not just about congestion, but about the strategic risk: a larger U.S. military footprint makes Israel a direct target. Flightradar24 data also shows a significant movement of U.S. aerial refueling tankers toward the Middle East, while outbound military flights appear to be C-17 Globemaster III transport aircraft, indicating a continued buildup.

BREAKING: The U.S. and Iran have entered a new phase of direct confrontation. Iran's IRGC announced the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz, declaring that no vessel will be allowed to transit until the United States ends its military interference in the region. The IRGC also claimed Iranian forces struck two vessels that ignored warnings and switched off their radio communications. Almost immediately afterward, fresh strikes were reported across southern and southwestern Iran, with reports alleging U.S. HIMARS launches from Bahrain and Kuwait. Explosions have been reported in Bandar Abbas, Asaluyeh, Bushehr, Sirik, Minab, and Ahvaz. So far, only an explosion in Bushehr has been visually confirmed. Footage 1: Reported HIMARS launches toward Iran. Image 2: Reported explosion at Dayyer Port, Bushehr.

JUST IN: Earlier today, despite an active U.S. military escort, Iran’s IRGC reportedly struck the Malta-flagged oil products tanker KAVOMALEAS in the Strait of Hormuz, according to UKMTO. MarineTraffic last placed the tanker in the Persian Gulf, underway after departing Fujairah Anchorage. The KAVOMALEAS had reportedly used repeated AIS blackouts to conceal parts of its movement while attempting to transit the strait. UKMTO confirmed a vessel fire 8 nautical miles northwest of Kumzar.

JUST IN: Despite two U.S. aircraft carriers and with heavy air cover, the United States could not keep the Gulf’s biggest oil bypass open. Fujairah Port has effectively ceased operations, removing roughly 6 million barrels per day from the market, according to HFI Research . HFI says the hub is now “all but dead” after the IRGC targeted two VLCCs. MarineTraffic data shows fewer than a dozen visible vessels crossed Hormuz in the past 24 hours, versus the normal 130+ daily transits. All used Iran’s traffic scheme; none used the U.S.-backed southern route through Omani waters. Some ships may be moving with AIS disabled, but visible traffic remains severely disrupted.

JUST IN: Despite two U.S. aircraft carriers, AWACS, fighter jets, and drones overhead, the Strait of Hormuz recorded just eight crossings on July 16 — the lowest in three weeks. The U.S.-backed Omani corridor? Zero. For the second day straight, per MarineTraffic. All seven ships used Iran's northern route. One went dark. The U.S. "security umbrella" isn't moving a single barrel—and Brent crude has climbed above $88 a barrel. Additionally, today, two oil tankers exploded after striking naval mines in the Strait. Iran's IRGC accused the U.S. of deceiving the vessels and directing them into the mined area, saying naval forces confronted four U.S.-backed vessels that ignored Iranian navigation instructions.

BREAKING: Despite extensive U.S. air cover — Iran's IRGC struck two commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday night, firing at least two missiles at vessels using the U.S.-backed southern Omani corridor, per UKMTO. The attack came just one day after satellite imagery showed 40 to 45 IRGC speedboats patrolling the strait. One vessel — believed to be the Qatari LNG carrier Al Rekayyat — was struck 8 nautical miles east of Limah, Oman, sparking a fire on its port side, according UKMTO warning 080-26. Now vessels are again changing course. Ships that were using the U.S.-backed corridor are diverting to Iran's approved northern route following the attack.

BREAKING: Iran has reportedly struck the BAPCO oil refinery in Bahrain while launching missile and drone attacks against U.S. military assets in Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, and Iraq. Iranian drones also reportedly destroyed a $5 million U.S. HIMARS launcher in Kuwait, marking Tehran's largest coordinated assault since the collapse of the MoU. The offensive follows heavy U.S. strikes across southern Iran, where Iranian state media says American forces targeted six civilian bridges, a major railway station, a telecommunications tower, and a civilian airport in Hormozgan Province and Chabahar. The strikes reportedly killed and injured civilians and severed key transport links around Bandar Abbas. The attacks came just hours after the IRGC warned that any U.S. strike on Iranian infrastructure would be met with the destruction of "every last piece of infrastructure" across the region, while the Houthis reiterated threats to shut the Bab al-Mandab Strait. Reports indicate the U.S. military base in Kuwait is on fire following the strikes. In Qatar, reports claim Iranian missiles struck Al Duhail Camp on the outskirts of Doha, with loud explosions reported across the capital. In Bahrain, reports also claim missiles hit Hamala Camp, which houses U.S. forces, as well as another U.S. military installation. Two U.S. AH-64 Apache helicopters were seen operating over Bahrain during the latest drone attacks. Arabic media further reports an Iranian missile struck the King Fahd Causeway linking Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, with ambulances and emergency crews dispatched to the scene. 1. Smoke rises from Bahrain's BAPCO refinery following reported Iranian strike 2. U.S. strikes damage bridges and transport infrastructure in southern Iran 3.

BREAKING: Heavy U.S. air cover has returned to the Strait of Hormuz in last 24 hours, with fighter jets, E-3 AWACS aircraft, and aerial refueling tankers supporting renewed tanker transits through the southern Omani corridor. MarineTraffic data shows at least three VLCCs entered the Gulf over the past 24 hours, while several more remain anchored off Fujairah awaiting escort. But the real bottleneck remains. There are not enough VLCCs to reverse the Gulf's production shut-ins at scale, with much of today's exports still coming from stored crude rather than new output. Shipping is recovering under heavy military protection. Oil production is not.

Additional context: Pakistan Airports Authority says the aircraft was carrying five crew and had declared a navigation system malfunction shortly before the emergency. Flight KTA-1732, a Boeing 737-400 freighter, was operating from Sharjah to Karachi when it rapidly descended from 35,000 feet. The last ADS-B signal showed the aircraft at 1,100 feet, descending at 22,400 feet per minute, before radar and communications were lost about 155 nautical miles west of Karachi. The aircraft was operating a cargo ferry flight without freight after maintenance in Sharjah. Pakistan has launched a search-and-rescue operation involving naval vessels, PAF aircraft, and commercial ships.

JUST IN: Despite two U.S. aircraft carriers—the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS George H.W. Bush—and one of the heaviest U.S. air deployments of the conflict, the U.S.-backed Omani corridor still remains virtually empty. Sentinel-2 imagery dated July 10 shows the USS Abraham Lincoln operating roughly 250 km off Iran's coast near Chabahar, while the USS George H.W. Bush has been located just 162 km away, with both carrier groups reportedly accompanied by destroyers and an oiler, well within heavy Iranian strike range. MarineTraffic data over the past 24 hours shows just five merchant vessels completed the Strait of Hormuz transit—and all five used Iran's northern traffic separation scheme. One vessel, Jin Zeng 5, initially appeared to route through the U.S.-backed southern Omani corridor, but altered course before entering the Strait and instead completed its transit via Iran's northern route.

JUST IN: A sailor told U.S. forces to "f— off" over marine radio after they broadcast that the southern route through the Strait of Hormuz "remains open," according to a recording reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. The frustration came after CENTCOM repeatedly said the U.S.-backed southern corridor remained open. However, MarineTraffic data shows all nine commercial vessels that transited the Strait on Wednesday used Iran's northern traffic separation scheme, while the U.S.-backed southern route through Omani waters recorded no visible commercial traffic. Sentinel-2 satellite imagery also showed minimal activity, with only two tankers visible in the Strait. The observable shipping data paints a markedly different picture from CENTCOM's repeated assertions about the southern corridor.

BREAKING: Iran has reportedly struck the BAPCO oil refinery in Bahrain while launching missile and drone attacks against U.S. military assets in Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, and Iraq. Iranian drones also reportedly destroyed a $5 million U.S. HIMARS launcher in Kuwait, marking Tehran's largest coordinated assault since the collapse of the MoU. The offensive follows heavy U.S. strikes across southern Iran, where Iranian state media says American forces targeted six civilian bridges, a major railway station, a telecommunications tower, and a civilian airport in Hormozgan Province and Chabahar. The strikes reportedly killed and injured civilians and severed key transport links around Bandar Abbas. The attacks came just hours after the IRGC warned that any U.S. strike on Iranian infrastructure would be met with the destruction of "every last piece of infrastructure" across the region, while the Houthis reiterated threats to shut the Bab al-Mandab Strait. Reports indicate the U.S. military base in Kuwait is on fire following the strikes. In Qatar, reports claim Iranian missiles struck Al Duhail Camp on the outskirts of Doha, with loud explosions reported across the capital. In Bahrain, reports also claim missiles hit Hamala Camp, which houses U.S. forces, as well as another U.S. military installation. Two U.S. AH-64 Apache helicopters were seen operating over Bahrain during the latest drone attacks. Arabic media further reports an Iranian missile struck the King Fahd Causeway linking Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, with ambulances and emergency crews dispatched to the scene. 1. Smoke rises from Bahrain's BAPCO refinery following reported Iranian strike 2. U.S. strikes damage bridges and transport infrastructure in southern Iran 3. Reported Iranian missile strike on Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar 4. Heavy reported Iranian strikes target U.S. military sites in Bahrain

BREAKING: Heavy U.S. air cover has returned to the Strait of Hormuz in last 24 hours, with fighter jets, E-3 AWACS aircraft, and aerial refueling tankers supporting renewed tanker transits through the southern Omani corridor. MarineTraffic data shows at least three VLCCs entered the Gulf over the past 24 hours, while several more remain anchored off Fujairah awaiting escort. But the real bottleneck remains. There are not enough VLCCs to reverse the Gulf's production shut-ins at scale, with much of today's exports still coming from stored crude rather than new output. Shipping is recovering under heavy military protection. Oil production is not.

JUST IN: Despite two U.S. aircraft carriers—the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS George H.W. Bush—and one of the heaviest U.S. air deployments of the conflict, the U.S.-backed Omani corridor still remains virtually empty. Sentinel-2 imagery dated July 10 shows the USS Abraham Lincoln operating roughly 250 km off Iran's coast near Chabahar, while the USS George H.W. Bush has been located just 162 km away, with both carrier groups reportedly accompanied by destroyers and an oiler, well within heavy Iranian strike range. MarineTraffic data over the past 24 hours shows just five merchant vessels completed the Strait of Hormuz transit—and all five used Iran's northern traffic separation scheme. One vessel, Jin Zeng 5, initially appeared to route through the U.S.-backed southern Omani corridor, but altered course before entering the Strait and instead completed its transit via Iran's northern route.
