Today in News History
On July 13, several notable moments in the history of News stand out. In 1573, Eighty Years' War: The Siege of Haarlem ends after seven months. In 1863, American Civil War: The New York City draft riots begin three days of rioting which will later be regarded as the worst in United States history. In 1922, Helmy Afify Abd El-Bar, Egyptian military commander (died 2011) was born. In 1941, World War II: Montenegrins begin the Trinaestojulski ustanak (Thirteenth of July Uprising), a popular revolt against the Axis powers.

Together, these milestones provide historical context for today's news news and ongoing narratives.
US military hammers Iran with ruthless strikes as Middle Eastern conflict escalates
US Central Command has confirmed further strikes have been launched on Iran as tensions escalate in the Middle East. On Sunday, CENTCOM confirmed strikes on Iran as the military continues its campaign of “degrading” the regime’s attack ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Before the attacks ordered by President Donald Trump, Iran claimed strikes in Kuwait killed three US service members. CENTCOM quickly rubbished the claims as “Iranian propaganda” and confirmed that no deaths or injuries of US soldiers were confirmed in the region.
