美國國務卿魯比奧：開始取消對敘利亞的恐怖主義支持國的認定。

Ali Akbar Velayati, foreign affairs adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, said on July 8 on social media that Iran has warned the region is not a place for political gambling and has repeatedly shown it will respond immediately to any adventurous acts. Velayati blamed other parties for recent tensions, saying they have publicly acknowledged scrapping a memorandum of understanding that had itself been repeatedly breached, pushing the region toward a dangerous edge. U.S. President Trump, speaking in Ankara on July 8, said he believes the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding "has ended," that he will inform U.S. negotiators, and that he does not want to deal with Iran.

NATO secretary-general says the alliance is coordinating with Gulf states and is prepared to provide assistance pending an alliance decision.
