Katz threatens Khamenei, says he could be directly targeted if new threats against Israel occur
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a warning to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei during a tour of the Israeli army's Ramon air base. 'If you continue to threaten Israel, our long arm will reach Tehran again, with even more force. And this time, it will be you personally,' he said, according to Haaretz. The minister added: 'Don't make threats, or you will face the consequences.' On July 16, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had said that Tehran was ready to respond to any new military attack and capable of dealing 'a harder blow' to its adversaries than during last June's 12-day war. 'The fact that our nation is ready to confront the power of the United States and their lapdog, the Zionist regime [Israel,] is highly commendable,' the Iranian supreme leader said, in remarks reported by state television.

Trump announces EU trade deal with 15% tariffs
U.S. President Donald Trump shakes hands with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, after the announcement of a trade deal between the U.S. and EU, in Turnberry, Scotland, on July 27, 2025. Evelyn Hockstein | Reuters President Donald Trump announced Sunday that the U.S. reached a trade deal with the European Union , following pivotal discussions with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen days before the Aug. 1 tariff deadline. Trump said that the deal imposes a 15% tariff on most European goods to the U.S., which is lower than the 30% rate he had previously threatened against the United States' largest trading partner. Trump also said that the 27-member bloc has agreed to purchase $750 billion worth of U.S. energy and invest an additional $600 billion worth of investments into the U.S. above current levels. He said that the bloc would also be 'purchasing hundreds of billions of dollars worth of military equipment,' but did not provide a specific dollar amount. 'It's a very powerful deal, it's a very big deal, it's the biggest of all the deals, Trump said alongside von der Leyen. 'It's a good deal, it's a huge deal, with tough negotiations,' von der Leyen said after the meeting. While questions remain about the specific details and timeline of the EU investments, the agreement marks a pivotal moment for Trump, following weeks of uncertainty surrounding the U.S.-EU trade talks. Trump during a press conference before his meeting with the European leader said that there was a 50-50 chance they would reach a framework of a deal. Brussels had been preparing for a no-deal scenario if the trade talks devolved ahead of Aug. 1. Lawmakers had approved a major package of counter-tariffs, which would have targeted a range of U.S. goods. The bloc also considered deploying the EU's ' Anti-Coercion Instrument ,' a move seen as the trading bloc's 'trade bazooka.' Ireland's Prime Minister said that the agreement 'brings clarity and predictability to the trading relationship between the EU and the US.' 'It does mean that there will now be higher tariffs than there have been and this will have an impact on trade between the EU and the US, making it more expensive and more challenging,' the Department of the Taoiseach said in a statement . Still, the agreement 'creates a new era of stability,' the statement continued. CNBC
