Iranian forces launched at least five ballistic missiles at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, a key U.S. military hub in the region located near Azraq in Jordan's eastern Zarqa Governorate. The U.S. had paused its strikes against Iran after conducting nightly attacks from 8 July through 24 July to allow negotiations over reopening the Strait of Hormuz, although Iranian sources reportedly viewed the pause as tactical rather than genuine. The U.S. is likely to retaliate against the Iranian attack, which shattered a lull in the mutual strikes. The attack could therefore mark the beginning of a renewed escalation, particularly if Washington responds with strikes against Iranian military or strategic targets. It may also increase concerns in Jordan about its territory being used as a launchpad for U.S. military operations and becoming a target for further Iranian attacks.

Following a large-scale manhunt, police located the suspect in the ramming attack during Berlin’s Christopher Street Day Pride celebrations. The 21-year-old German man of Lebanese descent, identified as Abdul Ballout, was located at around 6 pm local time in Berlin’s Spandau district, where he reportedly charged at officers with a weapon and was shot dead. He reportedly had a history of Islamist extremism and was known to authorities for previous criminal activity and radicalization and was considered potentially dangerous. The attack has intensified political debate over Islamist extremism, national security, and immigration.

Shortly before 10:00 pm local time, a man deliberately drove a minivan into a crowd near Berlin’s Christopher Street Day Pride celebrations in the central Tiergarten park, close to the Brandenburg Gate. One woman was killed in the attack, and 29 others were injured, with some victims also reportedly suffering from machete wounds in what authorities believe was a terror attack. After hitting several people, the vehicle crashed into a tree and was later found abandoned. Police launched a major search for the suspect and called off the Pride festivities after the incident, urging people to leave the area. Hundreds of thousands had gathered peacefully for one of Europe’s largest Pride events before the attack brought the celebrations to an abrupt end. Authorities identified a suspect believed to have links to Islamist circles who remained at large.

At around 3:10 pm local time, air raid sirens sounded in the southern Jordanian city of Aqaba after ballistic missiles were launched from Iran toward the area. According to the Israeli military, the missiles were fired in the direction of Aqaba, with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) warning that there was a possibility of spillover into Israeli territory. The IDF said sirens would be activated in Israel if necessary and noted that there were no changes to the Home Front Command's guidelines for civilians. Three missiles were reportedly intercepted by Jordanian air defense systems, while the Israeli Iron Dome system was activated in the Eilat area to deal with debris that could have posed a risk to the city. The attack came after the U.S. Embassy in Amman issued an earlier message stating that Jordanian authorities had evacuated an airport and a seaport in the country's south in response to a credible security threat. Jordanian authorities later denied that any such evacuations had taken place.

The United States carried out its eighth consecutive night of airstrikes against Iran after an Iranian ballistic missile and drone attack on a U.S. base in Jordan killed two American service members, left one missing, and wounded four others. Authorized by President Donald Trump, the operation targeted Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) forces believed responsible for the Jordan attack, as well as Iranian coastal surveillance and air defense facilities aimed at reducing Iran's ability to threaten shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. US Central Command (CENTCOM) said the strikes hit military targets near Sirik on the Strait of Hormuz and Hajiabad in Hormozgan province, while Iranian state and affiliated media reported additional strikes near Shadagan (Shadegan), close to the Iraqi border, and on the Darkhovin nuclear power plant which is under construction. The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran condemned the reported strike on the Darkhovin site as a violation of international law. Explosions were also reported in Bandar Abbas and on Qeshm Island, where several locations were struck. Local media reported that a water desalination plant was hit, disrupting supplies to about 20 villages with a combined population of approximately 10,000 people. Later, the IRGC Navy claimed that two ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz had an "accident" after following an "unsafe route," while two other vessels reportedly altered their course. In response to the renewed US campaign, Iran suspended compliance with the interim ceasefire agreement reached about a month earlier and warned of further escalation. Remarks attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei described US commitments as "worthless and invalid" and threatened "unforgettable lessons" if the attacks continued. Iran's joint military command warned of a "devastating response" to additional US pressure. The collapse of the interim ceasefire has intensified missile and drone exchanges across the region, heightening concerns over broader regional instability and risks to global energy supplies. Since the war began, 16 U.S. service members have been killed and more than 430 wounded, including the two fatalities in the Jordan attack, the first direct U.S. combat deaths since the opening days of the conflict.
