Back from a week in the woods.

Iran
Continues forward with uranium enrichment and restart of heavy water plant. Threatens more apocalyptic destruction of enemies.
Iranian supported militias in Iraq are increasing falling into disfavor with the Iraq govt.
Iran attempted last Wednesday (10 July) to capture a British tanker in the Persian gulf. Apparently a nearby British warship was close enough for them to call it off. This would be in retaliation for the seizure last week of an Iranian tanker headed for Syria. Japan is also considering sending defense naval forces to the Persian gulf region - probably to protect vessels headed to Japan with oil. In response to continued threats and this attempt the US is looking at sending command and control vessels into the region to better coordinate actions. They would likely work to coordinate the developing multi-national naval force gathering to protect shipping.

On a related note, Houthi rebels have developed “Blow Fish” unmanned low-profile explosive boats in Red Sea. Two have been discovered so far. Probably targeting Saudi related vessels.

Israel
Pretty much status quo. Hamas and Hezbollah are beating their chests and Israel replies back.

Hong Kong
Protests over extradition laws (now fully pulled) are continuing.

Antifa/leftists
Poorly attended rallies against ICE were reported. The most significant is the attack on an ICE facility in Washington state by a 69 yr old antifa supporter affiliated with the John Brown Gun club - an antifa affiliated ‘militia’ movement. His opus stated he wanted to start an increasing violent assault on ICE and the govt. John Brown gun club and Redneck revolution are leftist/antifa groups that have been growing and arming themselves for conflict should CW2 become kinetic.
My observation - this could be the start of ‘lone wolf’ antifa related attacks against not only ICE but could spread to other govt agencies and conservatives.

Cyberattack?
The EU’s Galileo satellite navigation system with 22 satellites is completely off line - and no one knows why. Designed to be a backup to the US GPS system. Some suspect cyber attack - probably Iran (IMHO) - in retribution to the lack of support given Iran during the current sanctions.

Been on the road but here is my take on key areas

Iran -
The ‘shooting down’ of the Iranian drone is reported to be only one of several incidents of Iranian poking of the USS Boxer. I see this as essentially probing attacks on this key amphibious assault ship to see just what will trigger a response. Iran denies losing a drone, but then if they deny it, they can’t retaliate for that which wasn’t lost. . . .

Still some confusion regarding the captured UAE tanker this week. UAE doesn’t recognize it and conflicting claims by Iran (responding to a call for ‘aid’ -or- aggressive capture). I see this as Iran nibbling around the edges, to provoke but not cross the line.
US sending forces into Saudi Arabia in an apparent effort to prepare a remote airfield to allow F22s and other aircraft to operate out of in the event of a shooting war with Iran.

Britain is deploying a third vessel to the Persian gulf region to protect its commercial assets. Iran still mad that GB captured one of its tankers trying to sneak in petroleum products to Syria in violation of sanctions.

Finally it is being reported that Revolutionary Guards members were killed in an airstrike by an unknown aircraft on a Popular Mobilization Forces camp in Iraq. This is critical in that this camp is also believed to contain long range rockets/missiles. Reports suggest drones were used, but given the long range missiles there is an outside chance that Israeli craft made the attack, as Netanyahu recently said that Israel could strike Iran anywhere.
