Iran: The IRIN Mowj-class Frigate SAHAND capsized in port Bandar Abbas on Saturday while undergoing modernization operations and general repairs and upgrades. This follows Iran’s recent election in which Masoud Pezeshkian was elected to the office of President.

Washington D.C. – The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) has released information regarding a US Marshals Service (USMS) shooting that involved a SCOTUS Justice. In an MPD press release dated July 5th, an individual attempted to carjack an official USMS vehicle that was providing security at the residence of SCOTUS Justice Sotomayor. Two Marshals engaged the assailant after he produced a firearm and attempted to carjack the security detail. The assailant has been identified as 18-year-old Kentrell Flowers, and was hospitalized for non-life threatening wounds as a result of the shooting. AC: The initial reporting of this incident made no mention of the connection to a SCOTUS Justice, however the address provided by the MPD matches that of Justice Sotomayor. Additionally, the assailant arrived at the location in a vehicle of his own, however no mention was made of the status of this getaway vehicle and/or who or if anyone was driving it.

Texas: Damage continues following the arrival of Hurricane Beryl. As of this report, roughly two million customers remain without power. Localized flooding has also complicated efforts to ensure logistical needs are met, with food and fuel shortages affecting many areas.

Analyst Comments: Iranian officials have released few details regarding the sinking of their warship, but have given the cause of the sinking as accidental due to issues with the ship’s ballast system. The SAHAND was quickly salvaged Saturday night as she originally sank pier side. However, during the recovery operation (or shortly afterward) she capsized and sank again on Sunday in slightly deeper waters within the port of Bandar Abbas. Iranian officials have not acknowledged the second sinking yet. However, as the SAHAND is now almost completely underwater salvage operations may take some time.

Of note, Iranian ship classes are frequently debated as the domestically-produced Iranian vessels usually do not conform to international standards. Iran classifies their newest line of Mowj-class vessels as Destroyers, whereas most of the world classifies them as Frigates due to their largely defensive role and questionable Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) capabilities.

//BLUF: FRANCE ELECTION RESULTS IN GAINS FOR FAR-LEFT PARTIES. BOEING PLEADS GUILTY REGARDING 2018-2019 CRASH INVESTIGATIONS.//

France: Riots continue despite the latest election results. Yesterday’s snap election yielded big gains for extreme-Far-Left political parties as the New Popular Front (NFP) received the largest number of seats. In second place was Macron’s coalition, with Le Pen’s National Rally receiving the third highest number of seats.

Texas: Hurricane Beryl makes landfall in Texas as a Category 1 hurricane. Local reports indicate roughly 1.5 million people were without power in the Galveston area, however the power to many customers has been already restored.

USA: Boeing has accepted a plea deal to plead guilty to criminal charges stemming from a federal investigation into two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019. These fatal crashes killed all passengers onboard, totaling 338 victims between the two incidents. Both incidents were investigated on the allegations of faulty materials being used in the construction of the aircraft, among many other safety issues.

-----END TEARLINE-----

Analyst Comments: Due to legal precedence, Boeing (the company) will be convicted of felonies, but no current or former Boeing employee will be charged with any crime with regards to these crashes. Boeing will be fined $243.6 million. For perspective, Boeing reported a little over $77 billion in profits for 2023, generating roughly $209 million per day in revenue.

We're probably covering 1% of the world events when we conduct these briefings, so please remember that if we left it out, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's unimportant. Also, remember that we do these briefings quite often, so we might have covered an issue previously that you might not see if you are only watching our most recent videos. We're also doing this in our spare time, so again we fully admit that these briefings aren't even close to being perfect; we're going for a healthy blend of speed and quality. If we were to wait and only post a brief when it's "perfect" we would never post anything at all. So expect some minor errors here and there. If there is a major error or correction that needs to be made, we will post it here in the description, and verbally address it in the next briefing, whenever that is.
