Iran Holds First Military Drills after War with Israel
Iran on Thursday launched its first military drills since the 12-day war with Israel, which erupted in June 2025, reported the Associated Press (AP) citing Iranian state media. The drills, dubbed 'Sustainable Power 1404,' comes as Iranian leadership attempts to project power after Israel bombed Iran's air defense systems, nuclear facilities and other key sites. The exercise involved Iran's Navy, which did not take part in the Iran-Israel conflict, firing missiles and drones at open water targets in the Gulf of Oman and the Indian Ocean. 'These drills take place around a month after the Iran-Russia drill under the name Casarex 2025 which took place in Iran's northern waters (Caspian Sea). The Sustainable Power drills…are in Iran's southern waters,' Iranian state TV said. Since the end of the war with Israel, Iran has repeatedly stated that it is prepared to counter any future attacks. On Wednesday, the Iranian Defense Minister, Aziz Nasirzadeh, said that Tehran has equipped its troops with new missiles to respond to any attacks. 'In response to any potential enemy adventurism, our forces are prepared to use these new missiles effectively,' he said, as quoted by the state-run IRNA news agency. Similarly, the Defense Ministry threatened a harsh response to any potential Israeli attacks. 'Any new adventure by the enemy will be faced with a strong slap,' it said in a statement on Thursday, according to Reuters. Iran has suspended cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) amid rising tensions over its uranium enrichment levels. Tehran has also suspended negotiations with Washington over its nuclear program after Israel's war on the country, which the US briefly joined by striking three key nuclear sites.

TikTok Made Me Do It: Soccer Jersey Outfits To Try Now
European soccer dominated sports bars and Instagram feeds this summer — especially with the Lionesses ' UEFA cup win and women's soccer gaining more global momentum. Add in some major pop culture tie-ins (Ted Lasso' s fourth season announcement focusing on a women's team, and a rumored Bend It Like Beckham sequel), and it's no surprise the soccer aesthetic is hitting harder than ever. Adidas mini track shorts (recently worn by Zoë Kravitz and more fashion It girls) also just landed on Lyst Index's Q2 hottest products list. Plus, cleats (spotted on Rosalía) are popping up as an unexpected streetwear choice, according to Style Analytics. But TikTok has crowned the ultimate summer MVP of the sporty trend: the soccer jersey. I first noticed the look while scrolling on Pinterest and TikTok — girls styling soccer jerseys for more than just game day. Then I started spotting them IRL across NYC, worn to brunch, drinks, and just about everything in between. As someone who grew up watching and playing soccer, the resurgence made me nostalgic and sartorially intrigued. Ahead, see how I styled a few jerseys for everyday settings, from casual errands to the office and even nights out. And no, these jerseys aren't tied to specific teams or players — they're pieces I picked up from my favorite retailers, like Urban Outfitters and Old Navy. Think: less fandom, more athletics-chic.

US congresswoman joins effort to limit offensive weapons to Israel
CHICAGO: Democratic Congresswoman Robin Kelly on Thursday said she supports 'Block the Bombs' legislation that would prevent the 'unchecked transfer' of offensive weapons to Israel. In a statement to Arab News, Kelly said she will continue to support 'defensive' systems for Israel, but its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 'has turned a blind eye to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, allowing starvation and famine to spread.' She added: 'We've reached a critical point where Congress needs to act.' The legislation was introduced in May by Democratic Congresswoman Delia Ramirez, and is backed by 21 other members of Congress. As the Gaza conflict continues and the loss of civilian life grows, more mainstream members have joined in pushing for the law's adoption. 'As Senator, I will support essential security aid to Israel. But in this moment, we cannot allow the transfer of the deadliest offensive weapons without taking definitive action to prevent the loss of civilian life,' Kelly said, referencing her candidacy for the US Senate next year.
