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.

A drone struck the US owned and operated, Marshall Islands flagged floating gas storage tanker Energos Winter at the Damietta port on Egypt's Mediterranean coast. The fire spread to a second vessel, the Gaslog Salem. The crew was evacuated, and the fire was brought under control. Though there was no immediate claim of responsibility, Iranian television had named Damietta port two days earlier as a possible target for retaliation over a Ukrainian strike on an Iranian vessel in the Caspian Sea. The attack came on the same day the United States and Saudi Arabia struck the Iran backed Hashd al Shaabi, or Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), in Iraq, in response to earlier drone attacks on Saudi oil installations. The Damietta strike fits a pattern of the conflict widening beyond its original fronts, extending the geographic scope of attacks and demonstrating an increasing willingness by Iran and its proxies to target critical maritime energy infrastructure across multiple regions, raising the risk of further disruption to regional shipping and energy markets.

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.
