This, combined with the Hezbollah story, shows that the proxies aren’t automatically withering.  “Houthis Attack Ship in Red Sea for First Time Since Trump Announced a Truce,” WSJ, 7-7-25.

This is what I thought.  The attack on Fordow, etc. stretched the U.S., resulting in a short stoppage for Ukraine.  Now that will increase.  “Mr. Trump had directed the Pentagon to review available munitions stockpiles around the time that the United States conducted bombing attacks on three Iranian nuclear weapons sites. From there, someone at the Pentagon — classifying the munitions in different categories — halted at least some of what was scheduled to be sent to Ukraine, one of the people briefed on the matter said.”  See “Trump Pledges to Send More Weapons to Ukraine,” NYT, 7-7-25.

Iran’s claim of recourse from the courts is a common refrain, to go to domestic, regional, or international courts.  There is a problem though.  Rarely does Iran go, even more rarely do they win.  “Iran will pursue all legal avenues to seek redress from its attackers,” Al Jazeera, 7-7-25.  It would behoove AJ that if they ask about state responsibility and the obligation for reparations, that they ask the same of Iran.  BTW, AJ cites the Israel bombing of Iraq’s Osirak nuclear weapons reactor as precedent—I don’t believe Israel (or the U.S. who finished the bombing during the Iraq War) ever did so.

“One key issue discussed in Dermer’s meetings was Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which includes 400kg enriched to 60%. Weapons-grade uranium requires about 90% enrichment. Israeli and U.S. officials say the material is currently “sealed off” inside the three nuclear sites. The U.S. and Israel assessed that those sites were significantly damaged, but that not all nuclear material or infrastructure was destroyed.”  See “Israeli officials think Trump could give them green light to attack Iran again,” Axios, 7-7-25.

“Iran’s president says open to dialogue with US after Israel war,” Al Jazeera, 7-7-25.  Then do it.
