Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Mental Health Crisis Deepens - PopularResistance.Org

According to a July 29, 2026 article in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, two women Israeli soldiers have died by suicide in the past two days. The Israeli military that has conducted the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, the destruction of the infrastructure of Gaza, the ethnic cleansing and destruction of homes, farms and thousands of year-old olive orchards in West Bank, imprisoned 10,000 Palestinians, including many children, and the destruction of southern Lebanon, as well as the attack on Iran, continues to show the effects of its inhumane and criminal actions on its soldiers.

🇮🇷 Iran expressed concern over Iraqi allegations that Ukrainian-linked cells carried out sabotage attacks inside Iraq, warning such operations could destabilize the region. ➤ The comments came after Iraqi National Security Adviser Qasim al-Aboudi said security forces arrested suspects accused of bombing government facilities who allegedly confessed to working for Ukraine. Ukraine has denied the allegations. ➤ Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei called the reports “a matter of concern,” saying Ukraine has previously resorted to what he described as “unconventional actions” to gain international support and warning similar activities resemble false flag operations. ➤ He added that Iran is in contact with Iraqi authorities because any threat to Iraq’s security could have consequences for the entire region, including Iran.Bild

🇴🇲 🇮🇷 Iran said its proposed new shipping corridor through the Strait of Hormuz would replace both the existing northern and southern routes with a single temporary two-way channel designed to meet the security and sovereignty concerns of both Iran and Oman. ➤ Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said Iran began implementing Article 5 of the ceasefire memorandum immediately after it was signed, but accused the United States of violating the agreement before the 30-day period for restoring normal shipping had expired. ➤ He said Washington reimposed a maritime blockade, revoked permission for Iranian oil exports, and abandoned nearly all of its commitments under the memorandum after launching new attacks on Iran. ➤ Baghaei accused the United States of attempting to unilaterally establish a southern shipping route through the Sea of Oman, saying commercial vessels were pressured by CENTCOM to use it and that some ships carried military equipment and even escorted warships, contrary to the MOU agreement that Hormuz would be used only for commercial navigation. ➤ He said negotiations with Oman are now focused on replacing both the southern route and the existing northern route through Iranian waters with a single intermediate corridor carrying two-way traffic, which would serve as a temporary arrangement until a permanent Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) is agreed upon.Bild

🇮🇷 Iran accused the United States of deliberately targeting civilian sites throughout the war, describing the recent strike on Qeshm Island as part of a broader pattern of war crimes that Tehran says it will pursue accountability for through international legal channels. ➤ Asked why the U.S. attacked residential areas on Qeshm Island, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said attacks on civilians had been a feature of the conflict from the outset, arguing that “all the actions the United States has taken in the past five months constitute war crimes.” ➤ Baghaei cited U.S. strikes on residential areas in Tehran, the Shajareh Taybeh school in Minab, Lamard Stadium, the Chabahar observation tower, and other civilian facilities, saying they demonstrated a systematic disregard for international humanitarian law. ➤ He also pointed to remarks by U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who said “No Mercy, No Quarter,” saying that the statement reflected clear intent to commit war crimes. ➤ Baghaei said Iran would use “all available tools at the international level” to hold those responsible accountable, adding that all states have an obligation under the Geneva Conventions to ensure respect for the laws of war.BildBild

🇮🇷 Iran dismissed the new Saudi-led maritime coalition aimed at countering threats from Yemen, saying similar military alliances have failed before and cannot resolve the conflict. ➤ Saudi Arabia announced the coalition last week to protect shipping and energy routes in the Red Sea, Bab el-Mandeb, and Gulf of Aden after Ansarallah declared a blockade on Saudi-linked vessels. Pakistan is among 14 countries backing the initiative. ➤ Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said a comparable alliance was formed about a decade ago and proved ineffective. ➤ “We must strive to create alliances for peace, not alliances to harm Islamic countries in the region,” he said, adding that Yemen’s crisis must be resolved through dialogue and an agreed roadmap.Bild

🇮🇷 Iran accused President Donald Trump of reviving “classic colonialism” ➤ Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said the rhetoric, including repeated suggestions that the United States should annex Greenland and Canada, recalls the period before World War I, when colonial powers invoked concepts such as the “white man’s burden,” to “occupy other countries and plunder their resources.” ➤ “It was supposed that after the two wars imposed on the world by Europeans, the international community would choose a different path,” Baghaei said. ➤ He said demands that other countries join the United States violate the core principles of the UN Charter, including opposition to colonialism and the use of force, and respect for national sovereignty. ➤ Baghaei called on all UN member states to take a responsible position and forcefully oppose the trend.

Drop Site @DropSiteNews · 13h 🇨🇺 Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed Cuba is operating a vast espionage and influence network inside the United States, calling the country an “influence and espionage superpower” and a national security threat. Critics note that the administration’s expanding allegations against Cuba are a pretext to build public support for potential illegal military action against the country. Rubio cited former U.S. ambassador Manuel Rocha, who was sentenced to 15 years for acting as a Cuban agent, and former Defense Intelligence Agency analyst Ana Belén Montes, whose case he highlighted as one of the most serious intelligence penetrations in U.S. history. He also claimed that pro-Palestinian, anti-ICE and pro-Maduro demonstrations are connected through networks organized or supported by Cuba to pressure U.S. lawmakers. “There’s nothing organic about it. It is funded, it is organized and Cuba is a part of that network and in some cases a critical part of the network,” Rubio told Fox News.Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47 . @SecRubio : "To the average American, you see Cuba, a small country 90 miles off our shores, 9.5 million people population — but people forget that when it comes to things like espionage and influence operations, they actually are an influence and espionage superpower."

🇵🇰 The Pakistani military has imposed a communications blackout as it conducts a violent siege aimed at crushing a movement for electoral reform in Azad Kashmir, the nominally self-governing political territory administered by Pakistan. Local authorities and hospitals have not released an official count of civilians killed. Though Amnesty International estimated that at least 40 people had been killed, residents who spoke to Drop Site said the figure was a significant undercount. Harris Qadeer, editor of the local newspaper Roznama Jeddojehad, told Drop Site that he had documented 89 deaths in Rawalakot and Mirpur as of July 28 through first-hand accounts of funerals and burials, as well as death records maintained by a civil society group leading the protests. “45 people were killed before July 27, and a list of their names was compiled by consulting their family members. An additional 37 people were killed on July 27 and 28,” Qadeer said. He added that paramilitary forces killed another 22 civilians on Monday and 13 more the following day. The region has remained under curfew and a complete internet blackout since June 5, 2026. Food and medicine have been blocked from entering, while grocery stores have been prohibited from opening. Announcements broadcast from local mosque loudspeakers warn that anyone violating the curfew, including women and children, will be shot. 🔗 Read @AreebaFatimaa ’s report for Drop Site News: State Killings in Pakistan as Kashmir Erupts in Protest⁠
