22.07.2026The Day Trump Signed the Saudi Nuclear Deal

The Iran war's financial and human costs continued to dominate, with Defense Secretary Hegseth's $37.5 billion estimate facing bipartisan scrutiny and the Pentagon admitting nearly 100 injured. Trump threatened to destroy Iranian bridges and power plants for each ship attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, while oil prices hit six-week highs. The 11th night of US strikes on Iran was reported.

By afternoon, Trump attended the dignified transfer of four fallen service members, later claiming they said 'we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.'

The day's defining editorial shift came in the evening: the US and Saudi Arabia signed a nuclear cooperation deal, reportedly allowing Saudi uranium enrichment. The pact drew opposition from nonproliferation experts and was framed by some outlets as a sign of waning US support for Israel. The House passed a $95 billion Iran war budget, and a stock trading ban for Congress advanced.
