17.07.2026The Day Iran's Retaliation Spread Across Seven Nations

The day was dominated by the widening US-Iran military confrontation. Overnight, US strikes hit an Iranian airport, bridges, and a railway station. By morning, Iran retaliated, targeting a US command center in Syria's Tanf and radars in Oman, then expanded strikes to Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Syria, Oman, and Qatar, hitting power and water plants. Editors led with Iran's threat of 'steel' strikes across the Middle East and the IRGC's vow to continue until calm returns to southern Iran and Hormuz. By afternoon, Iran threatened US warships, and Trump considered striking nuclear facilities. Domestically, the parliamentary session collapsed when the Lebanese Forces withdrew over the amnesty law, causing loss of quorum and halting debate on abolishing the death penalty. The virtual trilateral military meeting was postponed after the army objected to pilot zones. Israeli forces positioned near a Lebanese checkpoint in Mansouri and demolished homes in Bint Jbeil. Diplomatically, Lebanon succeeded in separating its negotiation track with Israel from the Iranian file, while the EU strengthened partnership in transportation, energy, and environment. The Knesset dissolved ahead of October elections.
