Iran will further tighten Hormuz if US naval blockade continues, top official says
Iran will further tighten Hormuz if US naval blockade continues, top official says A top official of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) has warned that if the US continues with its naval blockade on Tehran's ports, it will further seal the Strait of Hormuz and block other strategic passages, according to IRNA. Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr, the secretary of SNSC and a veteran Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander, said the escalation could cost the global economy, energy markets and US taxpayers dearly, IRNA reported. On Friday, Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, stressed Iran’s determination to establish mechanisms with Oman to manage traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, warning third parties against obstructing the process.

Trump says Rubio’s anti-ICC campaign intended to shield Netanyahu
Trump says Rubio’s anti-ICC campaign intended to shield Netanyahu US President Donald Trump has said that secretary of state Marco Rubio's campaign against the International Criminal Court (ICC) was intended to defend Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "He's trying to defend Bibi and various other people," Trump said during a cabinet meeting at Camp David. The remarks come weeks after Rubio announced a US effort to "dismantle" the ICC. The ICC, established in 2002 to prosecute genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, says it can exercise jurisdiction where member states are unwilling or unable to prosecute such crimes. Neither the United States nor Israel is a member of the court. .@SecRubio: "The International Criminal Court is an illegitimate international organization that claims even if you are not a member of that court, that they can come after you." pic.twitter.com/XbvuGmweQx July 31, 2026

It also demanded that the university publicise its finances twice a fiscal year, including all direct and indirect investments and holdings, and permit the union to submit a “list of entities from which the University shall divest”, detailing how the entities violated international law. The union argued for the article on the basis that its members, as workers who produce value for the university, hold a stake in how its money is invested. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This withdrawal signifies a major shift in the union’s politics and orientation, as it has devoted itself to Columbia’s pro-Palestinian student movement since the start of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Over 73,000 people have been killed since Israel began its assault on the enclave after the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel in October 2023. Columbia University, Cuny most 'hostile' campuses for Muslims: Cair Read More » Financial divestment from Israel has been the central goalpost for the Columbia pro-Palestinian student movement, which established the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” and occupied Hamilton Hall in April of 2024. In the aftermath of those actions, SWC-UAW passed a June 2024 resolution championing the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement. The union further campaigned for Columbia to suspend its dual degree programme with Tel Aviv University and halt plans to open a new facility in Tel Aviv. Following two New York Police Department sweeps of the encampment and Hamilton Hall, the union attempted to permanently prohibit NYPD officers from its Morningside Heights campus through another June “Cops off Campus” resolution. The union has engaged in negotiations with Columbia for a successor contract since March of 2025, initially expecting the expiration of its first contract that June. However, a general stalemate has persisted due to contention over what constitutes a "workplace issue".
