05 / Important World News05
Important World News
- The United States launched another wave of strikes on Iran as the Strait of Hormuz confrontation escalated. Some shipping companies are reportedly avoiding US-guided transits after Iranian attacks. This matters because prolonged disruption could affect global oil prices, shipping costs, and inflation. Reuters
- The Russia–Ukraine war intensified on both military and diplomatic fronts. Russian attacks reportedly killed 14, Ukraine struck Black Sea oil tankers, and Moscow warned that foreign troops deployed after a peace agreement would be considered legitimate targets. This raises the risk surrounding any future European peacekeeping arrangement. BBC
- The EU and Ukraine agreed to expand joint drone production. The partnership will combine Ukrainian battlefield expertise with European manufacturing capacity, signaling deeper, longer-term European defense integration with Ukraine. Reuters
06 / Important Philippine News06

- Airfares should decrease for tickets issued July 16–31 after another fuel-surcharge reduction. This is useful if you have domestic or international travel to book during the second half of July. GMA News
07 / Oklahoma City Thunder07
Oklahoma City Thunder
- Oklahoma City lost 106–103 to Denver in NBA Summer League despite a late rally, remaining winless across its summer schedule. NBA.com
