On July 13, several notable moments in the history of News stand out. In 1787, The Congress of the Confederation enacts the Northwest Ordinance establishing governing rules for the Northwest Territory.

In 1941, World War II: Montenegrins begin the Trinaestojulski ustanak (Thirteenth of July Uprising), a popular revolt against the Axis powers. In 1977, Somalia declares war on Ethiopia, starting the Ogaden War.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said that in response to US strikes, its navy struck the locations where the terrorist US military is stationed in the region. The ceasefire agreement gives Iran control over ship traffic in the strait, the Guards said. However, the United States, by provoking various fronts, sought to violate this commitment, and the necessary response was given and will continue to be given. If the aggression is repeated, our response will be broader than this, the Revolutionary Guards said.
