DUBAI, July 21 (Reuters) – Iran‘s foreign ministry

DUBAI, July 21 (Reuters) – Iran‘s foreign ministry spokesman warned Bulgaria on Tuesday against allowing the U.S. to use its territory for military operations against Iran.

The Bulgarian government has said it will seek parliamentary approval to station up to eight U.S. tanker aircraft at an air base in the Balkan country, which is a member of NATO and the European Union.

Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said any activity that facilitates U.S. attacks on Iran would amount to complicity in what he described as “aggression and war crimes”, according to Iranian state media.

Baghaei urged Bulgaria not to become “an accomplice of aggressors and lawbreakers”, they said.

The tanker aircraft are mainly used for airborne refuelling of other aircraft.

Bulgaria’s government aims to station the U.S. aircraft at the Bezmer military facility, about 260 km (160 miles) southeast of the capital Sofia.

The U.S. and Iran have intensified strikes since an interim ceasefire deal signed a month ago unravelled, raising the possibility of a return to all-out war.

DUBAI, July 21 (Reuters) – U.S. forces bombed targets in southern Iran overnight after President Donald Trump said Tehran would pay dearly for the deaths of American soldiers, while Iran targeted U.S. sites in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan and a tanker was hit in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran‘s Revolutionary Guards said they targeted infrastructure in Bahrain belonging to U.S. tech company Amazon in retaliation for what they described as a U.S. strike on the construction site of Iran‘s planned Darkhovin nuclear power plant.

Iranian state media reported that Iranian forces also targeted accommodation facilities used by U.S. military personnel at Bahrain’s Sheikh Isa Air Base. There was no immediate comment from the U.S. military, Bahrain or Amazon on the reported incidents, which Reuters was unable to verify.

The Iranian army said it launched drone attacks against three U.S. military bases in Kuwait on Tuesday. The Revolutionary Guards said they attacked a U.S. military site in Jordan, and Jordan said its forces intercepted and destroyed five Iranian drones.

From Singer and Humanitarian Mitra Rahbar on Faceb

From Singer and Humanitarian Mitra Rahbar on Facebook: “For a period of close to six weeks many of us found joy and inspiration as we watched matches at the World Cup 2026 through our screens.

It seemed that we had all found a source of joy and hope amidst the constant barrage of so much negativity in our world. Wars, violence, divide, truly had depleted all of us in the last few years, and here was this chance for a few weeks, to focus on something that was joyful for the most part.

So we cheered for the new found heroes- those who so moved us by their kindness and humanity. And when we saw ugliness and unfairness, we all spoke out, as a roar we would not let our voices be silenced.

The World Cup brought us together in the sense that we saw at times the best of humanity- opponents hugging one another, lifting one another. It renewed our belief that together we can overcome whatever is thrown at us. And the reward was great at the final match-Spain, who had displayed a gentle demeanor throughout the games, won, fair and square, in joy and with displaying kindness.

Also the games made us further understand that borders really do not and should not define us. We are all one global village, and the borders, should not divide us, but rather help us open our hearts and minds to a new culture, a new people. After all, we all are in this together.

In the past few years, we each have had to contend with so much-COVID, elections, war, divide, and we continue to. Truth is, most of us have lost faith in our governments, and leaders. We are tired and devastated for our world, and don’t know where to turn to.

And here now, we have found something we never thought we would again- our togetherness and joy.

May we carry this momentum into the days ahead. May we see not the borders, but that which unites us- our global village.

Let us put our faith in ourselves, our communities, and all the everyday heroes we encounter, and through this, believe that we can bring about positive changes for our world.

Let us bank on this- each other.”

By Idrees Ali
July 20 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump on Monday said Iran would “pay” for killing U.S. soldiers after multiple service members were killed over the weekend as part of the United States’ war against Iran.

The number of U.S. troops killed in the war on Iran rose to 17 over the weekend, with the remains of an additional service member being examined. Two of the personnel were confirmed to have been killed when Iran attacked U.S. personnel in Jordan.

“Every time Iran kills an American Soldier they will pay for that killing many times over,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “This directive has been passed on to Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Daniel Caine.”

The weekend was one of the deadliest ones for U.S. troops since the war started in February. In March, six U.S. troops were killed when an Iranian drone slammed into a U.S. military facility in Port Shuaiba, Kuwait.

Roughly 430 U.S. troops have been injured in the conflict so far.

The White House said Trump would attend the dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware for the service members killed.

It is unclear what specific “directive” Trump passed to the Pentagon. But a U.S. official told Reuters that prior to the deadly attack in Jordan, the United States had already started moving additional military aircraft, including fighter jets and refueling tankers, to the Middle East.

In the past week, Trump has threatened to expand the targets being struck in Iran to include energy plants and bridges, sending ground forces to seize Iran’s Kharg Island oil hub and bombing a deep-underground nuclear-linked site known as Pickaxe Mountain.

Sources have told Reuters that recent waves of U.S. strikes on Iran aimed at forcing open the Strait of Hormuz are also targeting Iranian military capabilities the U.S. would want to destroy before executing more complex operations against ‌Iran.

The war, including its monetary cost, is set to dominate a congressional hearing on Tuesday with Hegseth and Caine.

PARIS, July 20 (Reuters) – French foreign minister

PARIS, July 20 (Reuters) – French foreign minister Jean-Noel Barrot said on Monday there would be consequences after two of its embassy officials in Tehran were detained for several hours by Iranian security services.

Barrot said the French officials were detained without reason for several hours, interrogated and physically intimidated before finally being able to return to the embassy.

“I let Iran‘s foreign minister know that these extremely serious and unacceptable violations of the integrity of our agents could not go without consequences,” he wrote in a post on social media platform X.

DUBAI, July 20 (Reuters) – Molavi Mohammad Anvar R

DUBAI, July 20 (Reuters) – Molavi Mohammad Anvar Rigi, a Sunni Friday prayer leader in the southeastern Iranian border town of Mirjaveh, was killed on Monday by unidentified gunmen, Iran‘s state media reported, citing local authorities.

Sistan-Baluchistan province, one of the country’s poorest provinces and with a large Sunni Baluch population, has long experienced Islamist or ethnic militants fighting security forces or other figures aligned with Tehran.

Officials said investigations were ongoing and urged residents to remain calm, saying the attack was aimed at undermining security and stoking sectarian divisions in the province.
