Middle East Overview: July 2026
Violence declined in Lebanon and Gaza in June, but Israeli military pressure persisted, while the US-Iran MoU opened a fragile negotiation period in which disputes over implementation played out most clearly in the Strait of Hormuz.
Is the Strait of Hormuz Slipping Out of Iran’s Control?
As regional neighbors pivot to a "southern strategy," Tehran faces a narrowing path to maintaining its maritime influence.
What will the US-Iran deal really change?
Last week’s memorandum may have reopened diplomacy for Iran and the US, but with the Strait closed again over the weekend, and reports of 'encouraging progress' today - the question is who still holds the cards?

Two things to note about “strike events”:
“Strike events” include both successful and intercepted airstrikes, drone strikes, and missile attacks. Suicide drones are coded as fired from the air.
ACLED counts the number of “strike events,” rather than individual strikes. When several strikes hit the same location on the same day, ACLED codes them as one event. See our FAQ that explains How does ACLED code air- and drone strike events?
