July 15 - Argentina defeated England 2-1 in the Wo July 15 - Argentina defeated England 2-1 in the World Cup semifinal in Atlanta on Wednesday, advancing to face Spain in Sunday’s final.

Anthony Gordon put England ahead in the 55th minute, and the Three Lions held that lead deep into the match. But Argentina, true to a pattern that has defined their tournament, struck late. Enzo Fernández equalized in the 85th minute with a bending shot from outside the box that Jordan Pickford couldn’t reach, set up by Lionel Messi. Two minutes into stoppage time, Messi again provided the assist, floating a cross to the far post that Lautaro Martínez headed home to complete the comeback.

It was the tenth goal Argentina has scored after the 75th minute at this World Cup, extending a habit of late strikes that has carried them through the knockout rounds. Argentina will now meet Spain, who beat France 2-0 in Tuesday’s semifinal, in Sunday’s final at 3 p.m. ET.

CAIRO/DUBAI, July 15 (Reuters) – The U.S. conducte CAIRO/DUBAI, July 15 (Reuters) – The U.S. conducted a new wave of strikes against Iran‘s coastal defence systems and missile sites on Wednesday after reimposing a naval blockade of Iranian ports, while Iran threatened to shut off more regional energy exports.

The daytime strikes mark the latest escalation of attacks and counterattacks launched by the two sides as they vie for control of the Strait of Hormuz, which carried about a fifth of global oil and gas shipments before the war.

“At 6 a.m. ET (1100 GMT) today, U.S. Central Command forces began launching a wave of strikes against Iran,” the U.S. military said.

“The strikes are designed to further degrade military capabilities Iranian forces have used to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.”

Iran‘s Mehr news agency reported that U.S. projectiles had hit a location on Iran‘s Hengam Island in the Strait of Hormuz.

U.S. Central Command said the military had attacked coastal defense systems and cruise missile storage and launch sites on Iran‘s Greater Tunb Island, and had completed the wave of strikes within around 90 minutes.

That followed seven hours of strikes on Tuesday in which the U.S. said it had hit dozens of military targets near the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian coastal areas.

In response, Iran‘s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said on Wednesday it had struck U.S. military targets in the region, including in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.

It also threatened on Wednesday to shut off more regional energy exports, saying the U.S. “must brace for the closure of all other export corridors that benefit the U.S. and its allies”.

An interim ceasefire deal in the conflict signed last month was meant to lead to further negotiations including on Iran‘s nuclear programme, and to a permanent truce, but a return to talks has faltered.
July 15 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump ha July 15 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to attack a site linked to Iran‘s nuclear programme known as Pickaxe Mountain, a fortified facility buried deep underground near one of Tehran’s main nuclear sites.

“We’re going to take out Pickaxe Mountain. Tell the Iranians to be ready,” Trump said in a July 13 interview on the Hugh Hewitt Show.

The threat reflects escalating tensions as Tehran and Washington trade fire in the [Persian] Gulf, setting back efforts to end the conflict.

Here’s what we know about Pickaxe Mountain:

WHERE IS IT?

Pickaxe Mountain is located 220 km (140 miles) south of Tehran and 2 km (1.2 miles) from the Natanz nuclear complex.

The Natanz site, where two of Iran‘s uranium enrichment plants were located, was bombed during the war started by the United States and Israel on February 28, and during last year’s 12-day war.

The tunnel facility under construction at Pickaxe Mountain wasn’t targeted in either of those wars, according to the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS), a U.S.-based think-tank focused on nuclear non-proliferation.

The peak rises to some 1,600 metres above sea level.

There were two enrichment plants in operation at Natanz – one above and one below ground. The U.N. nuclear watchdog has said the above-ground one was destroyed. The other, underground one was likely at least badly damaged.

July 14 - On Monday July 13, 2026, the UK government announced it is proscribing Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. After years of campaigning, petitioning, writing to MPs, and refusing to let this issue disappear from the agenda, the demand at the heart of this petition has finally been answered.

This is your victory. Every single one of you who signed, shared, wrote to your MP, or simply refused to look away, thank you. When we started this campaign, we were told it was too politically difficult, that it would never happen. You proved that ordinary people, standing together, can move a government.

Why This Matters:

The IRGC is not a conventional military force. It is the machinery behind assassination plots on British soil, the intimidation of journalists and dissidents living in the UK, hostage-taking of dual nationals, and the funding and arming of terror networks across the Middle East. British intelligence has repeatedly warned of IRGC-linked plots targeting people in this country.

CAIRO/DUBAI/WASHINGTON, July 14 (Reuters) – Presid CAIRO/DUBAI/WASHINGTON, July 14 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump on Tuesday reimposed a naval blockade of all Iranian ports and threatened to hit power plants and bridges next week unless Tehran resumes negotiations, in the latest U.S. escalation of the conflict.

The U.S. also began a fresh round of strikes “to continue degrading Iranian capabilities used to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz,” the U.S. military said.

Tehran says it has again closed the strait after hostilities between Iran and the U.S. reignited last week, fraying an already fragile truce reached in June after several months of fighting that has killed thousands.

“I’ll save the energy targets for last, but ultimately we’ll hit energy targets,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News’ Trey Yingst.

“Next week comes the power plants, next week comes the bridges,” Trump said, “unless they get to the table and negotiate.”

The 1949 Geneva Conventions on humanitarian conduct in war prohibit attacks on sites considered essential for civilians.

U.S. negotiators had been in touch with their Iranian counterparts to tell them “you better make a deal”, Trump added.

Iran‘s army said early on Wednesday that it had launched drone attacks against U.S. positions at Jordan’s Azraq base. There was no immediate comment from the Pentagon.

Iran‘s ​Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said they targeted weapons and storage facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait.

Kuwait’s army said its air defenses were confronting Iranian drone attacks and the state news agency said a fire had been brought under control.

Reuters could not immediately verify the reports.

The flare-up over the last few days has heightened doubts that a memorandum of understanding signed last month would lead to a permanent halt to the war, which has engulfed Iran‘s neighbors and disrupted global energy supplies.
