克里姆林宮：對美國許可烏克蘭生產愛國者導彈一事，我們並不抱有幻想。

TASS reported a senior Iranian source saying Iran has formally suspended negotiations with the U.S. on a final settlement, citing threats from the U.S.

China's Defense Ministry spokesman Senior Colonel Chen Xi said on July 9 that Japan's upper house recently passed an amendment to the Defense Ministry Establishment Act renaming the Air Self-Defense Force the Air and Space Self-Defense Force and creating a Space Operations Group. Chen said Japan has openly treated space as an operational domain, increasing military investment in related areas tenfold over five years and expanding operational forces by more than 30-fold; he warned these moves accelerate space weaponization and a space arms race and urged vigilance and measures to curb Japanese right-wing remilitarization to protect global security.
