US Continues Airstrikes on Iran Amidst Escalating Regional Conflict
The United States conducted another round of airstrikes targeting Iran over control of the Strait of Hormuz.
Ten consecutive nights of US airstrikes have not compelled Tehran to loosen its grip on the Strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of all crude oil and natural gas traded once passed in peacetime. Even as the US and Iran inch closer to all-out war again, Iran’s interior minister travelled to Pakistan, a key mediator in the conflict, for talks. However, it remains unclear just what new deal could be reached to end the fighting. The interim deal signed last month, which was meant to end the fighting, has crumbled. Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has largely stalled. Both sides have targeted civilian infrastructure relied on by their adversaries.
Colombia's President Petro Criticizes Incoming Government's Plan to Restore Ties with Israel
Colombia's outgoing President Gustavo Petro expressed shame over the incoming government's decision to re-establish diplomatic relations with Israel.
Petro reiterated his criticism of the president-elect Abelardo de la Espriella's decision to restore diplomatic ties with Israel, stating that he is 'ashamed' that the next government will resume relations with a country he accuses of committing 'genocide' in the Gaza Strip. Petro's remarks came during his address at the installation of the new legislative period of Congress, where he reviewed his administration's work. He further stated that 'he who laughs at a genocide is a fascist' and reiterated his rejection of the Israeli military offensive in Gaza, which he labeled a 'crime against humanity.' These statements follow De la Espriella's confirmation that upon assuming the presidency on August 7, he will restore the 'historic alliance' with Israel, resume the exchange of ambassadors, and move the Colombian embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, reversing Petro's foreign policy.

Trump Administration Moves to Reinstate Tariffs on Imports
The Trump administration is working to implement new tariffs on nearly all imports to the US, with plans to make them larger and more permanent.
Following a Supreme Court defeat that previously demolished his tariff walls, Donald Trump is aiming to rebuild them. The temporary replacement tariffs, imposed under Section 122 of the Trade Act after the 'Liberation Day' tariffs were ruled illegal, are set to expire. These replacement tariffs, which also faced legal challenges and were limited to 150 days, may require revenue reimbursement. The administration is now leveraging Section 301 of the Trade Act, a more robust measure, to impose new tariffs of either 10% or 12.5% on 99.4% of all US imports, citing a response to inadequate efforts by other nations. This move is expected to significantly impact global trade, affecting countries such as Canada, Brazil, and Spain.

West Bengal Assembly Receives Report on 1993 Police Firing Incident
West Bengal Chief Minister presented a long-pending report from the Justice Sushanta Chatterjee Commission concerning the July 21, 1993, police firing incident to the Assembly.
Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari stated that the report's findings are a significant step towards uncovering the truth behind one of the state's most controversial political events. The commission concluded that the police firing on Youth Congress protestors could not be justified and the resulting deaths were not legally tenable. The report indicates that the firing was ordered by the then Home Secretary, Manish Gupta. The commission found no concrete evidence to justify the use of lethal force, determining that the firing was based on the apprehension of a threat rather than an immediate danger. Notably, the commission did not question former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who led the Youth Congress march on July 21, 1993, and has long been considered a key witness.

Trump Dismisses Threat to Arrest Netanyahu for War Crimes
US President Donald Trump has stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "will not be arrested, in any way, shape, or form" while in the United States.
Trump's statement came in response to a threat from New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who indicated his administration was considering arresting Netanyahu should he attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York in September, citing the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for Netanyahu for alleged war crimes during the conflict in Gaza. Trump asserted that Israel has been helpful to the US in its war on Iran. Mamdani had previously stated his belief that Netanyahu 'belongs in The Hague.' The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu in 2024, charging him with committing war crimes during Israel’s military actions in Gaza.

US Imposes 50% Tariffs on Canadian Goods Amid Trade Dispute
US President Donald Trump has ordered new 50% tariffs on many Canadian goods, citing "discriminatory treatment" by Canada against American alcohol, automobile, and dairy products.
The tariffs, which take effect in 30 days, will impact various items including wine, hockey sticks, and cement, and crucially, will affect products covered under the US-Mexico-Canada Free Trade Agreement (USMCA). This action utilizes an untested legal provision, Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, and represents a departure from previous tariff actions that often exempted USMCA goods. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that Canada is prepared to "intensify" talks and has made proposals to resolve disputes, noting that Canada has matched previous US tariff measures. The move has raised concerns among businesses about potential escalation and could further strain relations between the two countries, with the White House claiming the tariffs are a response to Canada's alleged trade discrimination.

The ongoing US airstrikes have not compelled Iran to loosen its control over the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global trade. The conflict is intensifying, with both sides reportedly targeting civilian infrastructure. Amidst this escalation, Iran's interior minister traveled to Pakistan for talks, though the prospects for a new deal to end the fighting remain uncertain, especially after a previous interim agreement has crumbled. Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has largely stalled due to the heightened tensions.
New Zealand Government Bails Out Cement Manufacturer with $60 Million
The New Zealand government is providing a $60 million payout to Golden Bay Cement to prevent its closure and ensure continued domestic production.
Golden Bay Cement, which operates New Zealand's sole domestic cement manufacturing facility and supplies nearly 60% of the country's cement, faced closure due to rising costs, including carbon costs. The government's intervention aims to keep the plant open until at least 2040, with the company committing to continued production and investing at least $150 million through to 2040. Finance Minister Nicola Willis stated the bailout was a specific, one-time response to exceptional circumstances. This move aims to secure domestic supply and avoid a shift to an import-only model for cement by 2030.

Indian Stock Markets Decline Amid Geopolitical Tensions and Corporate Earnings
Indian equity markets closed lower on July 20, 2026, with the Sensex slipping 0.57% and the Nifty falling 0.39%.
The market downturn was influenced by heavy selling in private banking stocks following their June-quarter earnings, weak global cues, and rising geopolitical tensions in West Asia. Crude oil prices surged past $90 per barrel, further dampening investor sentiment. Despite initial losses, benchmarks recovered some ground in the latter half of the session. Broader markets outperformed, with midcaps gaining 0.6% and smallcaps ending slightly positive. Sectors like PSU Banks and Pharma showed strong performance, while higher levels are considered a selling zone, making recovery challenging.
