Iran's army spokesman told Iranian media the military recently used a new drone; further details will be released in coming days.

The Wall Street Journal reported US officials say President Trump has ordered a new round of strikes on Iran aimed at forcing Tehran to surrender. The operation could begin as early as this weekend and may run for several days. Officials said Trump is considering a two-week, high-intensity air campaign to degrade Iran’s missile capability, though military advisers warned of risks including ammunition depletion. Some US officials said Iran may delay negotiations, betting rising US domestic opposition will prompt Washington to abandon a prolonged campaign.

Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said in a July 31 statement that recent airstrikes in multiple locations in the Gaza Strip killed two Hamas officials. The IDF also said it carried out dozens of operations in the West Bank over the past week, arresting more than 200 Palestinians.
