Experts believe the intermediate-range ballistic missiles used in Iran’s recent failed attack against Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean were variants of the Khorramshahr-4, which could potentially reach parts of the United Kingdom. It is understood that the first ballistic missile was intercepted between Thursday night and Friday by an SM-3 fired from a U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, according to The Times, while the second fell after travelling 1,990 miles, some 400 miles from the US-UK military base in the Chagos Islands.

During a phone interview today with Israel’s Channel 13, U.S. President Donald J. Trump stated about his recent ultimatum against Iran and the Strait of Hormuz: “You’ll find out what’s gonna happen. You’re gonna find out soon. It’s gonna be very good. Total decimation of Iran. It’s gonna work out very good.”

El Presidente Trump da un ultimatum de 24 horas a Irán y amenaza con un ataque nuclear si no abren el estrecho de Ormuz por donde pasa el 20 % del petróleo mundial. “Si no abren el estrecho en 24 horas ya van a ver lo que va a pasar, será la desaparición completa y destrucción de Irán del mapa, en 1 hora”.

Senior American officials in recent days have told their counterparts in Israel and other countries that the United States will be forced to launch a ground operation to capture Iran’s Kharg Island, the primary oil export terminal for the Islamic Republic, in the Northern Persian Gulf, according to two sources familiar with the details who spoke to Israel’s i24News.

Por primera vez en la guerra, Iran utilizó un misil de largo alcance para intentar atacar la Base Naval Británica de Diego García situada a 4.000 km de Irán. Un misil falló y el otro fue interceptado por las defensas de EE.UU. Esta base aérea utilizada por EE.UU es clave para atacar Iran desde la distancia. Esto prueba que Irán tiene misiles intercontinentales capaces de atacar buena parte de Europa, incluyendo ciudades como París, Londres, Berlín, Roma y Atenas.

Más de 50 heridos y graves daños al reactor nuclear de Dimona en Israel, la joya de la corona del programa nuclear israelí. La Organización Internacional de la Energía Atómica (OIEA) pidió cesar los ataques a instalaciones nucleares por el alto riesgo de contaminación radioactiva. Israel había dicho previamente que Irán no se atreviera a tocar su programa nuclear, que era una línea roja.

La guerra en el Medio Oriente llega peligrosamente a niveles nucleares. Estados Unidos e Israel atacaron la instalación nuclear de Natanz en Irán. El país persa contraatacó atacando el reactor nuclear de Dimona en Israel, la central nuclear israelí más importante. La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) junto con la ONU están evaluando planes de contingencia en caso de una catástrofe nuclear a raíz de los ataques a instalaciones nucleares.

According to the Wall Street Journal, citing multiple U.S. officials, Iran has targeted the joint U.S.-UK base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean with two intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBM). According to the report, one missile failed in flight whilst the other was engaged by a U.S. destroyer utilizing an SM-3 interceptor, but a successful interception was not confirmed. None of the missiles hit the base. This is notable as Iranian long-range precision fires have not previously been publicly assessed as having the range to hit such a target as Diego Garcia, as the base is some 4,000 kilometers from Iran proper.

Iran could have capability to strike London, Paris or Berlin after launching ballistic missiles at UK-U.S. base Diego Garcia

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran will not stop the war immediately. The war will expand as it did in Ukraine and be prolonged, which will push global oil prices to $200. This could lead to a worldwide food shortage. The United States is stuck in this war. If it ends it, Iran will demand compensation for its losses and insist on the U.S. withdrawing from the Middle East. If the U.S. withdraws from the Gulf, the petrodollar deal, which the American economy depends on, could end, and then no one will buy oil from Arab countries in dollars. — Chinese-Canadian Professor Chang, in an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson

The World Health Organization (WHO) is preparing for a nuclear catastrophe, a potential “worst-case scenario” for the Middle East, if the ongoing conflict between Iran, Israel, and the United States escalates further, sources tell Politico. U.N. staff are monitoring the fallout of strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites and remain "vigilant" for any type of nuclear threat, according to Hanan Balkhy, WHO Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean. “The worst-case scenario is a nuclear incident, and that's something that worries us the most,” Balkhy said. “As much as we prepare, there's nothing that can prevent the harm that will come … the region's way — and globally if this eventually happens — and the consequences are going to last for decades.”

The Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joseph Kent, has resigned effective immediately stating "I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby." Kent was nominated by President Trump in February of 2025 and confirmed by the U.S. Senate on July 30th.

La UEFA cancela la Finalísima, el torneo entre los campeones de Europa y Sudamérica por la guerra en Medio Oriente. El partido debía jugarse entre Argentina y España pero no tendrá lugar tras los bombardeos de Irán a Qatar, que iba a ser la sede del torneo intercontinental. De esta manera aumentan las preocupaciones y rumores de una posible cancelación de la Copa Mundial de la FIFA en 2026 que debería ser jugada en Estados Unidos, Canadá y México al estar cada vez más países involucrados en el conflicto. La Copa Mundial de Fútbol solo se ha cancelado dos veces, ambas por la Segunda Guerra Mundial en 1942 y 1946.
