OPEC+ raises July oil output quota as Strait of Hormuz crisis bites
OPEC+ has agreed to raise oil production quotas by 188,000 barrels per day in July, but analysts say the move is unlikely to ease market pressure while the war in the Middle East continues to disrupt crude flows through the Strait of Hormuz.
Ministers from Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria and Oman approved the increase during a video meeting on Sunday, OPEC+ said in a statement.
The group said the decision aimed “to support oil market stability”, while also allowing members to speed up compensation cuts at a time of historically high oil prices.
But Jorge Leon, an analyst at Rystad Energy, said before the expected decision that it “means very little while the Strait of Hormuz remains closed”.
“The market is not short of quota announcements; it is short of physical barrels that can actually move. In that sense, the 188,000 barrels per day increase would be more of a policy signal than a real supply boost,” said Leon.

Israel trapped in ‘big quagmire’ in Lebanon
Israel’s war on Lebanon should not be framed as a ceasefire, journalist Abed Abu Shehadeh says, adding that Israel has failed to find a way out of the conflict.
“Just to set the terminology right, there was no ceasefire. The Israeli media tends to call it the ceasefire war,” he told Al Jazeera from Jaffa.
He said Israel remains trapped in Lebanon, where its soldiers have come under growing pressure in recent weeks.
“Israel is in a quagmire in Lebanon; they don’t have an exit strategy, especially in the past couple of weeks, more and more Israeli soldiers have been targeted and killed with the new Hezbollah fibre drone that the Israeli military has no solution to,” he said.

Israeli court sentences Palestinian journalist to 20 months
An Israeli court has sentenced a Palestinian journalist from occupied East Jerusalem to 20 months in prison for incitement and support for a terrorist organisation, AFP is reporting.
Bayan Al-Juba said she was shocked by the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court ruling and intended to appeal.
The defendant shall serve a “term of 20 months’ immediate imprisonment, commencing on September 6,” said the court’s judgement obtained by AFP.
The court also handed down a six-month suspended sentence and a fine of 5,000 Israeli shekels (approximately $1,700). The journalist has the right to appeal within 45 days.
Juba, a 33-year-old freelance journalist who has worked with several media outlets, said the court based the charges on social media posts published on her personal accounts.
Israeli authorities arrested her in February 2025 outside Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem’s Old City. She said prosecutors accused her of “incitement and support for a terrorist organisation through those posts”.

Next few hours will be ‘critical’
Israeli journalist Gideon Levy says which direction the conflict takes depends on Trump.
“How devoted is he to stopping Israel? The coming hours are really crucial – critical,” Levy told Al Jazeera, noting that the region faces two prospects: a return to a ceasefire or a return to all-out war.
“Almost everything depends on Trump. I think that Netanyahu is not in a position to say no to Trump if [he] will sound very devoted and threatening Netanyahu … if he will not obey.”

Israel closes Gaza crossings after Iranian missile attack
The Israeli government agency COGAT says it is closing all crossings into Gaza following the missile attack by Iran.
“Following the missile attacks launched by Iran against the State of Israel, a number of necessary security measures have been implemented, including the closure of the crossings into the Gaza Strip, among them the Kerem Shalom [Karem Abu Salem] Crossing and the Rafah Crossing, until further notice,” it said in a statement.

Israel says Iran made a ‘grave mistake’
The spokesperson for the Israeli army says Iran made a “grave mistake” in attacking the country.
Addressing the press, Effie Defrin said the Israeli army’s chief of staff is assessing the strikes and “approving plans for the future”.
“The [Israeli army] will continue to operate throughout Lebanon. We are prepared for the possibility of additional firing,” he said.

Trump appears intent on keeping the ceasefire intact
Well, we’ve heard very little apart from comments that Trump reportedly made to one of the reporters, saying that he would suggest to Iran to make a deal.
So, despite this escalation in violence, Trump is still insisting that a deal is possible, and not only is it possible, but it’s imminent.
The US State Department has been quiet throughout the day, though an official did release a statement to Al Jazeera in which he said that Hezbollah must bear the blame for the escalation of violence in Lebanon, saying that Iran is using Hezbollah as its proxy to prevent any conclusion to the particular peace deal.
Trump, from those few comments, appears intent on keeping the ceasefire intact. He’s going to extreme lengths, it would appear, to do so.

Israel, Iran both using Lebanon to try to pressure Trump: Analyst
Israel and Iran are both using Lebanon in the bargaining process with the US, says Ross Harrison, a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute.
Israel is “trying to spoil what they would consider a premature peace deal between the US and Iran” while Iran wants to show Washington that it “has a vote on how this conflict ends”.
“I think that both parties in a way are aiming this conflict at Trump’s decision-making process,” Harrison told Al Jazeera.

Iran opens support front for Lebanon after Israeli attack on Beirut
Lebanon is ground zero for this escalation.
Today there was an Israeli attack on this neighbourhood in the southern suburb in Beirut. That instigated the Iranian retaliation because Tehran already warned Israel a week ago that whenever there is an attack on Beirut or the southern suburbs, there’s going to be a retaliation.
Today, we are witnessing a different pattern. In the past, when the war erupted against Iran, it was Hezbollah that launched rockets to open a support front. Now it seems that the Iranians are opening their own support front towards their ally in Lebanon.
However, the next hours should tell a lot in case there is an Israeli attack on Iran, and how Hezbollah is going to respond.

Trump tells media outlets he is calling Netanyahu, telling him not to respond
Several media outlets, including Axios and Israel’s Channel 12, are reporting that Trump told them he is calling Netanyahu to tell him not to respond to Iran’s strikes.
Axios reporter Barak Ravid said on X that Trump also told him that he was “very close” to striking a deal with Iran to permanently end the war, adding that he did not want the diplomatic process to “blow up” because of Iran’s attack on Israel.
“The Iranian strikes didn’t hurt anybody. Hopefully, Israel is not going to retaliate. If Bibi strikes them back, it’s just gonna keep going like the last 47 years, or the last 3,000 years,” Trump said, as reported by Axios.
