1. Iran's Hattam Ambia Central Command issued a statement saying that the US is threatening to attack Iran's nuclear facilities and sensitive centers.

US Secretary of Defense Hegseth said that the US war against Iran has so far cost 37.5 billion US dollars, which is higher than previously announced estimates. 3. On July 21, local time, international oil prices rose to the highest level in five weeks due to the escalation of mutual attacks between the US and Iran and the threat of the Houthis in Yemen to block Saudi Arabian shipping.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that after the US tariffs were announced, he had spoken Mandarin with US President Donald Trump. Carney also said that if it takes effect, Canada will consider all coping options. 7. US President Trump said on the same day that the US will “soon” launch an attack on Iran's “Haoshan” underground nuclear facility south of Natanz, and that the strike will be “very intense.” While meeting with visiting Lebanese President Aoun at the White House, he said that if Yemen's Houthis blocks the Red Sea, the US will take action. 8.
