Following UKMTO’s report of a commercial vessel impacted twice 40nm southeast of Umm Qasr, Iraq, the IRGC has said that they targeted the MSC Sariska V with a cruise missile in retaliation for this weekend’s U.S. disabling of a Gambian-flagged vessel in the Gulf of Oman.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump told ABC News on Monday he thinks he will have an agreement with Iran to extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz “over the next week.” Adding that a deal is, “Looking good, looking good,” while referencing today’s spat between Israel and Iran over Israel’s continued military operations in Lebanon, calling it a “little glitch,” and stating, “So, I spoke with Hezbollah, and I said no shooting, and I talked to Bibi [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu], and said, no shooting, and they both stopped shooting each other.”

In a post moments ago on TruthSocial, President Trump again referenced his calls earlier today with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and representatives of Hezbollah, in which he allegedly asked both sides to stop “shooting” at each other and for Israel to halt a major raid of Beirut. Trump closes the post by stating, “Let's see how long that lasts — Hopefully it will be for ETERNITY!”

Despite claims earlier by President Trump that both Israel and Hezbollah have agreed to “stop shooting,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu states that the Israel Defense Force will continue operating against Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon.

During a call between the two leaders earlier today, President Trump lashed out at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel’s escalation in Lebanon and its chance at damaging peace talks with Iran, at one point calling Netanyahu “crazy” and accused him of ingratitude, two U.S. officials and a third source briefed on the call told Axios.

Summarizing President Trump’s remarks to Netanyahu, a U.S. official said to Axios: “You're fucking crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.” While a second source briefed on the call said Trump was “pissed” and at one point yelled at Netanyahu: “What the fuck are you doing?”

The U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement Monday that it would abide by the ruling set forth earlier today by Federal District Judge Leonie Brinkema, who ordered a temporary halt in any payouts and/or the creation of the Trump Administration’s planned Anti-Weaponization Fund, which would have paid out millions in taxpayer funds - up to $1.8 billion - to allies of President Trump deemed to be “victims of lawfare and weaponization,” including many who stormed the U.S. Capitol of January 6, 2021.

Today’s ruling followed fierce and rare backlash against the fund by Republican lawmakers, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune and other Senate Republicans, who threatened to team up with Democrats to block the fund and called for it to be “killed” by the Justice Department. Nearly half the Republican conference appeared ready to vote with Democrats to restrict or kill it, said Republican Senator Ted Cruz, potentially placing a serious rift before the midterms between Republicans in Congress and the White House under President Trump.
