It's hot here in France. The country's weather service expects the current heatwave to be “widespread, prolonged and intense”, with temperatures in some areas potentially topping 40 degrees Celsius. Paris will still hold its Fete de la Musique celebrations, but local officials in other regions have cancelled the event.
Iran's central military command on Saturday said that the Strait of Hormuz would be closed again over Israel's attacks on southern Lebanon. It called the move the "first step" in a response to what it described as a breach of Tehran's agreement with the United States. Ships had begun transiting the waterway after the interim US-Iran agreement was signed earlier in the week.
