美军已完成了对伊朗境内军事目标的第三晚连续空袭。美国中央司令部表示，此次持续五小时的打击旨在削弱伊朗袭击平民和商业航运的能力，目标涵盖布什尔、恰巴哈尔、贾斯克、科纳拉克、阿布穆萨岛和阿巴斯港等多地。与此同时，美国总统特朗普宣布恢复对伊朗港口的海上封锁，并提议对通过霍尔木兹海峡的商船征收20%的安全通行费。这一提议颠覆了美国长期以来支持全球自由航行的政策，而此类航行收费此前曾被美国政府自身视为非法。

The U.S. military completed a third consecutive night of air strikes against Iran, targeting military assets in locations including Bushehr, Chah Bahar, Jask, Konarak, Abu Musa, and Bandar Abbas. According to U.S. Central Command, the five-hour operation was aimed at degrading Tehran's capability to attack commercial shipping and civilians. In tandem with the strikes, U.S. President Donald Trump announced the reinstatement of a naval blockade on Iranian ports and proposed a 20% charge on commercial vessels for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting long-standing American policies supporting global freedom of navigation.

作为报复，伊朗对巴林、约旦以及两艘与阿联酋相关的油轮发动了袭击，导致一名印度籍船员死亡，另有八人受伤。这一系列冲突导致上个月签署的和平谅解备忘录（停火协议）面临破裂，但特朗普坚称双方仍有可能达成协议。受局势升级影响，全球能源市场剧烈震荡，布伦特原油价格飙升至一个月新高，突破每桶84美元，单日涨幅超9%。

In retaliation, Iran launched attacks targeting Bahrain, Jordan, and two UAE-associated tankers in the strait, killing one Indian mariner and wounding eight others. This rapid escalation has severely damaged the ceasefire established under last month's peace memorandum of understanding, though President Trump insisted that a deal remains possible. Following the hostilities, global energy markets reacted sharply, with benchmark Brent crude prices surging over 9% to a one-month high of over $84 a barrel.

以加利福尼亚州为首的美国12个州于周一在奥克兰联邦法院提起诉讼，旨在阻止派拉蒙全球（Paramount Skydance）以1100亿美元（约合962亿欧元）收购华纳兄弟探索（Warner Bros. Discovery）的交易。这起交易是好莱坞历史上最大的合并案，涉及好莱坞仅存的五大传统制片厂中的两家。由加州总检察长罗布·邦塔牵头的起诉方指控称，该合并是“非法的”，将“消灭竞争”并提高消费者价格，从而对电影院和整个美国娱乐产业造成损害。邦塔指出，该交易将导致观众面临“更高的价格、更低的质量和更少的内容”。

Twelve US states, led by California, filed a lawsuit in Oakland federal court on Monday to block Paramount Skydance's $110 billion (€96.2 billion) acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, which represents the largest-ever merger in Hollywood. The legal challenge, involving two of Hollywood's last five legacy studios, directly confronts Paramount CEO David Ellison's ambitions. Led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, the plaintiffs argue that the transaction is "unlawful" and would "extinguish competition," leading to higher consumer prices, lower quality, and less content for audiences.

在此次诉讼提起之前，美国司法部已无条件批准了该交易，司法部先前认为该收购不太可能损害竞争或消费者。目前，这起法律诉讼对派拉蒙首席执行官大卫·埃里森将公司转变为能与网飞和迪士尼抗衡的媒体巨头的雄心构成了直接挑战。这一法律行动表明，即使联邦政府选择放行，各州依然可以联合起来，以保护本地消费者和娱乐产业免受潜在垄断危害为由发起强力挑战。

This lawsuit follows the unconditional clearance of the transaction by the US Department of Justice, which had previously concluded that the acquisition was unlikely to harm competition or consumers. Currently, this legal action directly challenges Paramount CEO David Ellison's strategic ambitions to build a major rival to Netflix and Disney. It demonstrates that state prosecutors are willing to pursue independent antitrust enforcement even when federal regulators decline to intervene.

中国海关总署周二公布的数据显示，以美元计价，中国6月份出口同比增长27%，创下2021年10月以来的最快增速。这一数据不仅远超经济学家此前预测的18.2%增幅，也高于5月份19.4%的增速。与此同时，中国6月份的整体进口同比增长了36%，主要受到芯片价格上涨的推动。在双边贸易方面，中国上月对美国的出口增长了约14%，进口增长了26%。

China's exports in U.S. dollar terms rose 27% year-on-year in June, marking the fastest growth since October 2021, according to customs data released Tuesday. The surge sharply beat economists' estimates of an 18.2% expansion and accelerated from the 19.4% gain recorded in May. Meanwhile, China's overall imports in June jumped 36% year-on-year, driven by higher chip prices. Bilateral trade data showed shipments to the U.S. jumped around 14% last month, while imports from the U.S. grew 26%.

此次贸易激增的主要驱动力，是全球对人工智能（AI）硬件的蓬勃需求，以及出口商赶在美方加征关税前抢跑出货。由于美国针对中国商品的10%广泛关税将于7月24日到期，且Section 301调查可能带来新关税，出口商正加速出货。今年上半年，中国出口增长最快的类别包括半导体、稀土、汽车和船舶，而玩具、鞋类、钢铁和家具等类别表现滞后。中国对美出口在经历去年的双位数下滑后，已在今年上半年重回正增长。

The trade acceleration was primarily fueled by booming global demand for artificial intelligence hardware and a rush by exporters to ship goods ahead of anticipated U.S. tariff hikes. Manufacturers are bracing for potential additional tariffs from U.S. Section 301 probes as a 10% broad-based duty is set to expire on July 24. In the first half of the year, China's fastest-growing export categories were semiconductors, rare earths, autos, and ships, while traditional sectors like toys, footwear, steel, and furniture lagged.

美国佛罗里达州联邦法官凯瑟琳·威廉姆斯于2026年7月13日作出裁决，废除了美国总统唐纳德·特朗普、其两个长子及特朗普集团与美国国税局（IRS）达成的和解协议。该诉讼最初由特朗普方提起，指控前国税局外包员工向媒体泄露其机密税务记录，并索赔100亿美元。法官裁定，该诉讼是以“不正当目的”提起的，旨在为其在法律和事实上均无可行依据的“和解”获取司法合法性外观，且原告与被告之间从未存在对抗性或真正的争议。此前于5月达成的和解协议不仅免除了特朗普、其家人及关联企业在协议达成前的税务审计与监管执法，还曾促使司法部设立一个18亿美元的补偿基金（后被废弃）。此外，法官还对特朗普的律师实施了专业处罚，将律师亚历杭德罗·布里托移交至佛罗里达州律师协会接受潜在纪律处分，并限制了另一名律师丹尼尔·埃普斯坦在佛罗里达州南区的执业能力。

U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams on July 13, 2026, voided a settlement agreement reached between President Donald Trump, his two eldest sons, the Trump Organization, and the IRS, ruling that the underlying lawsuit was brought for an "improper purpose." The original lawsuit had been filed by Trump's side for $10 billion over the disclosure of confidential tax records by a former IRS contractor to news organizations. Judge Williams determined that the lawsuit was improperly employed to gain judicial legitimacy for a settlement that had no viable basis in law or fact, noting there was never adverseness or a real controversy between the parties. The controversial May settlement had granted Trump, his family, and affiliated businesses broad protections from tax audits and regulatory enforcement, and had briefly led to a now-abandoned $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded compensation program. Additionally, the judge imposed professional penalties on Trump's lawyers, referring Alejandro Brito to the Florida Bar for potential disciplinary action and limiting Daniel Epstein's ability to practice in the Southern District of Florida.

2026年7月14日，法国在巴黎举行一年一度的国庆节（巴士底日）阅兵式。本年度的阅兵式不仅是法国的国庆庆典，更成为展示欧洲军事力量以及对乌克兰坚定支持的平台。这是法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙任内的最后一个国庆节，他邀请了约30位其他国家和地区的领导人共同出席。在阅兵式中，来自11个欧洲国家的军机飞越巴黎上空，同时还有约500名来自“自愿联盟”盟国的士兵参与阅兵，这些盟国此前已承诺协助保障乌克兰的战后安全。该活动旨在向俄罗斯总统普京和美国总统特朗普展示欧洲的团结以及自我防卫的决心。在国庆日前夕的7月13日晚间，马克龙在国防部向武装部队发表了传统的节日致辞，随后巴黎埃菲尔铁塔上空也举行了绚丽的烟花与无人机表演。

On July 14, 2026, France's annual Bastille Day military parade in Paris is serving as a showcase of European military strength and collective support for Ukraine. Marking President Emmanuel Macron's final Bastille Day in office, the event features aircraft from 11 European nations and approximately 500 troops from the "Coalition of the Willing" allies, who have pledged to assist with Ukraine's post-war security. Macron is hosting around 30 other world leaders for the ceremony, which is aimed at demonstrating European unity and self-defense capabilities to both Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump. The celebrations began on the eve of the parade on July 13, when Macron delivered his traditional address to the armed forces at the Ministry of Defense, followed by a fireworks and drone show that illuminated the Eiffel Tower.

中国官方于7月14日宣布，中国共产党已开除前中央政治局委员、前新疆党委书记马兴瑞的党籍。现年67岁的马兴瑞被指控存在广泛的违纪违法行为，包括腐败、滥用职权以及进行权色交易。官方通报称其“丧失理想信念”、“严重违反党的政治纪律和规矩”。中共中央政治局已于6月30日审议并通过了中央纪委国家监委关于马兴瑞问题的审查报告。针对马兴瑞的调查最初于2026年4月公布。马兴瑞曾担任中国新一代运载火箭计划的负责人，在调任新疆前，曾历任工信部职务、广东省委副书记、深圳市委书记、广东省副省长及省长。他是2022年开始的本届中央政治局中第三位接受调查的成员，这一高层反腐力度在过去数十年中极为罕见。

China has expelled former Politburo member and former Xinjiang party chief Ma Xingrui from the ruling Communist Party, state media announced on July 14. The 67-year-old Ma, who once headed China's new-generation carrier rocket program, was accused of a wide range of offenses, including corruption, abuse of power, and trading political favors for sex. Official reports stated that Ma had "lost his ideals and beliefs" and "seriously violated" the party's political discipline and rules. The ruling party's top decision-making body, the Politburo, reviewed and approved the report on Ma's case by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on June 30, following the initial announcement of his investigation in April 2026. Ma, whose career included key leadership roles in Guangdong province and Shenzhen, is the third member of the current Politburo term starting in 2022 to come under investigation, a high-level disciplinary situation unseen in decades.

泰国曼谷北部拉抛路的“Rong Beer Na Ladprao”啤酒屋于2026年7月12日周日深夜发生毁灭性火灾，目前已造成至少30人死亡，数十人受伤，成为该市17年来最严重的火灾事故。根据当地官员与警方的消息，随着3名伤者因伤重不治，死亡人数已升至30人，另有24人仍处于极度危险的危重状态。救援人员发现，多数死者因试图躲避火势而被困在无窗的洗手间内，无法逃生。目前，泰国警方已将“疏忽”作为主要调查方向。国家警察总署署长吉提拉表示，调查重点包括紧急出口是否被锁或难以进入、现场是否缺乏安全出口标识，以及是否使用易燃装饰材料导致舞台附近的火势迅速蔓延。灾害防救官员的初步评估显示，天花板上的空调发生电气短路是引发此次火灾的原因。涉事酒吧声称可容纳多达600名顾客，其管理层已在社交媒体上发表声明，向死难者家属致以最深切的歉意并承诺全力配合调查。

A devastating fire at the Rong Beer Na Ladprao pub in northern Bangkok late Sunday, July 12, 2026, has killed at least 30 people and injured dozens of others, marking the city's deadliest blaze in 17 years. The death toll rose to 30 after three more victims succumbed to their injuries, while 24 of the hospitalized injured remain in critical condition. First responders found most of the deceased trapped inside windowless restrooms where they had sought refuge from the flames. National Police Chief Kittiratt Phanphet stated that investigators have established negligence as their primary theory, focusing on locked or obstructed emergency exits, a lack of exit signage, and the use of flammable decorative materials that facilitated the rapid spread of the fire from near the stage. An initial assessment by disaster officials indicates that an electrical short circuit in a ceiling air conditioner caused the fire. The pub, which claimed to accommodate up to 600 patrons, has issued an apology on social media and pledged to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation.

2026年7月13日周一早上约7:00，一名美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）执法人员在缅因州比德福德的一次执法行动中，开枪射杀了一名哥伦比亚籍车辆司机。美国国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马林最初告知参议员安格斯·金死者是驱逐令的目标，但随后致电更正称，死者并非该逮捕令的预期目标。ICE表示，当时执法人员正在监视一个有最终驱逐令人员的地址，当试图拦截一辆驶离该地址的车辆时，车辆企图逃跑，执法人员因担忧公共安全开枪。这是美国一周内发生的第二起涉及ICE执法人员向车辆内人员开枪并致死的事件，此前一起发生在德克萨斯州休斯敦。该枪击事件在当地引发了抗议活动，示威者聚集在比德福德，并涌入参议员苏珊·柯林斯的办公室进行抗议。涉事执法人员目前已被停职接受调查。

On Monday morning, July 13, 2026, at approximately 07:00 EDT, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent fatally shot a Colombian national driving a vehicle during an enforcement operation in Biddeford, Maine. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin initially informed Senator Angus King that the victim was the target of the immigration warrant, but later placed a corrective call to clarify that the deceased driver was not the intended target. According to ICE, agents were monitoring an address associated with an individual subject to a final order of removal when they attempted to stop a vehicle departing the location. ICE stated the vehicle tried to flee, prompting an officer to discharge their weapon out of concern for public safety. This incident marks the second fatal shooting within a single week involving an ICE agent firing into a vehicle, following a similar encounter in Houston, Texas. The shooting triggered immediate local protests, with demonstrators gathering in Biddeford and entering the office of Senator Susan Collins. The involved agent has been placed on leave pending an investigation.

台湾第二大晶圆代工企业联华电子（UMC）宣布，其位于新加坡的工厂已开始量产首批硅光子晶圆，以满足人工智能和超大规模数据中心网络对高速光学互连日益增长的需求。该项目是联电与新加坡本地无晶圆厂芯片设计公司SILITH Technology合作开发的成果，双方在18个月内将该硅光子平台从开发阶段推进至生产就绪状态。此外，联电计划在2027年前推出其自有的12英寸硅光子平台，供客户进行产品开发。在此背景下，花旗集团分析师看好联电2026年下半年的业绩前景，预测其2026年第二季度销售额将环比增长13%，且毛利率将有所回升。联电近期公布的财务数据也支撑了这一乐观预期，其6月份销售额同比增长22.85%至231.2亿新台币（约合7.1921亿美元），今年上半年累计销售额则增长了11.28%。

United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC), Taiwan's second-largest contract chipmaker, announced on Tuesday the commencement of mass production for its first silicon photonics wafers at its Singapore facility. The initiative aims to address the growing demand for high-speed optical interconnects within artificial intelligence and hyperscaler data center networks. Developed in collaboration with Singapore-based fabless chip design firm SILITH Technology, the joint team successfully transitioned the silicon photonics platform from development to production readiness in 18 months. Looking ahead, UMC plans to offer its own 12-inch silicon photonics platform for customer product development by 2027. This technological milestone coincides with an improving outlook from Citi analysts, who forecast a 13% quarter-on-quarter sales increase for UMC in the second quarter of 2026 alongside a recovery in gross margins. This optimism is supported by UMC's recent financial results, which show June sales rising 22.85% year-on-year to NT$23.12 billion ($719.21 million) and cumulative first-half sales growing by 11.28%.
