AQAP Leader Sa'ad Al-Awlaki Calls For Assassinations, Jihad Attacks On U.S. Officials – Including Trump, Vance, Rubio, Hegseth And Their Families - Elon Musk And His Companies, U.S. Military, Microsof
Al-Awlaki urged Muslims to revive the "tradition of assassinations," describing it as the "greatest form of Jihad today." He said the targets should be the "leaders of apostasy," whom he labeled "Jewish Arabs," specifically naming the leaders of Egypt, Jordan, and the Gulf states.
He appealed directly to military personnel in Arab countries, calling on them to take action. He said Arab pilots should strike "the Jews," U.S. military bases in the region, and American aircraft carriers. At the very least, he said, they should attack the palaces of Arab leaders, describing these as the "initial steps" that must be taken.
Al-Awlaki claimed there are 4.5 million Muslims in the United States and said that they should carry out acts of retaliation without hesitation, stating: "Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans." Speaking over images of Manhattan skyscrapers, he said that the list of targets should be "effective," and declared: "There are no red lines."
He called for attacks on U.S. government institutions such as the Senate, companies that support Israel or the U.S. military, including Microsoft and Elon Musk's businesses, and he urged hackers to strike both the American and Gulf economies.
Al-Awlaki cited individuals who had carried out violence in the U.S., including Thomas Crooks, who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump in July 2024; Elias Rodriguez, who killed two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, D.C. in May 2025; and Aaron Bushnell, who self-immolated in protest of U.S. support for Israel. He said that these men were not braver than Muslims who believe in Allah. He encouraged followers to study Inspire magazine, shown on screen with images and bomb-making instructions, and he concluded: "Revenge! Revenge! Let each do so with what he does best and excels at."
Sa'ad Al-Awlaki: "Anyone who can revive the tradition of assassinations and is near the leaders of apostasy – those who support the war in Gaza with money, aid, and logistics, the Jewish Arabs, like the leaders of Egypt, Jordan, and all the rulers of the Arabian Peninsula – should not hesitate even for a moment. By Allah, [assassinations] are the greatest form of Jihad today.
[...]
"Those in the armies [of the Arab leaders] who have faith in their hearts, and fear Allah's punishment for abandoning their brothers in Palestine should make a move and do something now in these despicable and collaborating armies that protect the Jews and the apostate [Arab] rulers. This is especially true for the pilots. They should strike the Jews, the American military bases in the region, and the American aircraft carriers that are looming in the sea here. At the very least, they should strike the palaces of the treacherous Arab rulers – a dog's tail is just as impure as its head.
[...]
"As a first practical, and immediate measure, I call upon every Muslim in the infidel, criminal, and arrogant United States – and it does not matter if they are of Arab, American, or other descent, what matters is that they should be Muslims whose Prophet is Muhammad, and there are 4.5 million Muslims in America alone... I am saying to all of them: Revenge! Revenge! Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans. You should have a lot of determination and the list of your targets should be effective. Go after the scum of the earth and its greatest criminals. This is Trump and his VP. This is Elon Musk, his advisor and his supporter in terms of finance, administration, and technology. These are his Secretary of State and his Secretary of Defense. Go after their families, and all those who have any ties or are close to the politicians of the White House. There are no red lines after all that has been happening to our people in Gaza – the genocidal war, and the systematic, and deliberate killing of women, children, and the elderly. Reciprocal response is lawful, especially because they are continuing to kill our women and children in Palestine, Syria, Somalia, and Yemen. When they cease doing that, we will cease as well.
"Go after the Senate – the parliament of the real Zionists. It is the den of evil and lair of pus and filth. Go after the institutions that support the Jews and the American government, like Microsoft, and all the companies that support the American Army, Air Force, or Navy, and any company that manufactures ammunition or other things. Go after Elon Musk's companies. They are legitimate targets, and so are all the similar companies that participate in the war against Muslims.
"I say to the Knights of Hacking, the so-called 'hackers' among the Muslims, and to all the free people on earth who reject killing and crimes: Go after the American economy, as well as the economies of the Gulf countries that support and finance the Jews and the Americans. Do not cease doing that. Do not despair. We all do what we can do best.
[...]
"My Muslim brothers in America: The infidel American sniper Thomas Crooks was not braver than you are, in terms of self-sacrifice and death when he wanted to kill the tyrannical Trump. The same is true for the Christian Elias Rodriguez who recently killed two staff members of the Zionists' embassy in Washington, as well as Bushnell, the American soldier who self-immolated in front of the Jewish embassy in America, protesting their killing of Muslims. What are you doing, compared to these sacrifices?
[...]
"I advise you to read the English-language Inspire magazine. It contains a lot of guidance that will benefit every free person who is zealous for their religion. Let me remind you that the number of Jews in America is not small – there are about six million Jews [in the U.S.], about the same number as in Palestine. Moreover, a third of those in the occupied Palestinian lands have American citizenship. Our brothers in Europe: You are approximately 16 million strong. Do not leave a single safe place for Jews, just as they have not left any homes, shelters, or respite for the Palestinians. Even hospitals are being bombed over the heads of the sick and wounded, and the heads of the women, children, and the elderly. Revenge! Revenge! Let each do so with what he does best and excels at."

Syria agrees to further talks with Israel, state media reports
Also in Syria US citizen recounts 'terrorizing' days in Suwayda during clashes ISIS carries out three attacks on SDF in Deir ez-Zor US army kills senior ISIS leader in Syria Suwayda violence 'complicates' SDF integration into Syria army, says official A+ A- ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Syria has blamed Israel for recent unrest in Suwayda province but has agreed to meet again after US-mediated talks between them in Paris this week produced no results, Syrian state-run media reported. 'The meeting did not result in any final agreements, but rather consisted of preliminary consultations aimed at reducing tensions and reopening communication channels amid the ongoing escalation since early December,' a diplomatic source told al-Ikhbariah TV. On Thursday, US special envoy for Syria Tom Barrack said he held talks with Syrian and Israeli officials in Paris. The Syrian side included representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the General Intelligence Service, according to al-Ikhbariah. Barrack said the goal of the talks was 'dialogue and de-escalation.' Nearly 1,400 people were killed in clashes this month in Suwayda province between Druze fighters, Bedouin tribes, and government forces, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The violence drew in Israeli intervention in support of the Druze before the US brokered a ceasefire. The diplomatic source said Syria blamed the violence on Israel and warned that continued 'aggressive policies' threaten regional security. Damascus also demanded the 'immediate withdrawal of Israeli forces from the points they recently advanced to.' 'The unity, integrity, and sovereignty of Syrian territory is a non-negotiable principle, and Suwayda and its people are an integral part of the Syrian state, whose status cannot be compromised or isolated under any pretext,' the source told al-Ikhbariah. Damascus has agreed to further meetings 'with the aim of continuing discussions and evaluating steps that would consolidate stability and contain tension in the south,' the source said.

Baghdad ( – Iraq's Ministry of Transport recently unveiled key outcomes from a pivotal meeting led by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani regarding the ambitious Development Road project. Held last Wednesday, the session brought together the Minister of Transport, the head of the Supreme Committee for Coordination Between Governorates, and various directors-general, advisors, along with a representative from Oliver Wyman, the project's economic consultant. Maytham Al-Safi, Director of Relations and Media for the Ministry of Transport, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA) that discussions around the Development Road project have been continuous. These meetings have involved the Ministry of Transport, other relevant institutions, and both the Italian technical consultant (BTB) and the economic consultant, Oliver Wyman. Delving into last Wednesday's meeting, Al-Safi explained that the Prime Minister stressed a clear commitment to implementing directives, particularly concerning the formation of a committee. This committee will be tasked with determining the final route between Iraq and Turkey, basing its decisions on technical and economic considerations. Furthermore, the Prime Minister emphasized resolving all existing challenges within the project and adhering to its strict timelines. The meeting also featured a presentation by Oliver Wyman on the project's economic and financial model, according to Al-Safi. This presentation, a culmination of previous discussions with the Ministry of Transport, outlined the economic framework to be presented to the Prime Minister, leading to its finalization and preparation for investment offerings. Regarding the project's current status, Al-Safi confirmed that the preliminary design phase has concluded, and significant progress has been made in the detailed design stage. The Ministry aims to present the project to major international companies by the end of the current year. The project will be strategically divided into sections to encourage competition among global firms, ensuring their adherence to international standards for successful implementation. Beyond Iraq's borders, Al-Safi disclosed that several countries are already formal partners in the project, including Turkey, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, via signed Memoranda of Understanding. Additionally, another council has been formed, comprising Turkey, Hungary, Serbia, and Bulgaria, representing the European dimension of the initiative. Other nations also aspire to join the project, either in its execution or participation. Al-Safi highlighted recent visits from economic representatives of various embassies in Baghdad to the Ministry of Transport and the Supreme Committee for the Development Road project, including the Chinese economic advisor last year and the Australian and French ambassadors this year. These discussions underscored widespread international interest in the project, recognizing it as a global endeavor with implications beyond Iraq for the entire region and the world. Ultimately, Al-Safi asserted that the Development Road project is poised to create thousands of job opportunities for Iraqis and fundamentally transform Iraq's economic transportation landscape. It is also expected to boost the national economic output, leading to comprehensive Iraqi economic integration, both domestically and internationally. The project's overarching policy aims for seamless connectivity across all sectors. Al-Safi further clarified that the project will integrate three existing major airports—Baghdad, Basra, and Najaf—and will connect to three new airports slated to enter service: Nasiriyah, Karbalaa, and the recently opened Mosul airport. Moreover, the project will link to 15 industrial cities, emphasizing its role beyond mere transit. He concluded by stating that the project is an integrated developmental initiative, benefiting connecting provinces by utilizing their raw materials and generating investment opportunities through local governments, institutions, and ministries.

Turkish FM: Gaza ceasefire talks stopped on 3 points
Shafaq News – Ankara On Saturday, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan revealed that negotiations over a ceasefire in Gaza are stalled over three key points. In a televised interview, Fidan explained that the first point of contention concerns how humanitarian aid will be distributed in Gaza and which party will oversee it after a ceasefire is declared, noting that Hamas wants the United Nations to handle aid delivery, while Israel opposes this arrangement. The second issue relates to the withdrawal of Israeli ground troops from Gaza and the locations where those forces would redeploy. The third and most disputed point reportedly involves Hamas's demand for Israel to commit to maintaining the ceasefire terms even after all Israeli hostages are released. Earlier, US President Donald Trump claimed that Hamas 'never truly wanted a deal,' a day after American and Israeli delegations withdrew from the Doha talks on prisoner exchange and a ceasefire in Gaza. He announced that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should escalate military operations in Gaza. 'It got to a point where you have to finish the job. You're gonna have to get rid of Hamas… now they are going to be hunted down.' However, Egypt and Qatar clarified in a joint statement that the pause in negotiations was merely to allow for consultations before resuming dialogue, calling it a normal step in a complex negotiation process between Hamas and Israel. #MOFAQatar — Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Qatar (@MofaQatar_EN) July 25, 2025 Hamas official, Izzat al-Risheq, rejected the US claims, saying they contradict the assessments of the mediators and do not reflect the actual progress being made in the talks.
