US forces have also been busy hunting and destroying Iranian ballistic missiles.

It's no coincidence that Iran's rate of missile fire has been far less in this war than it was in the "12-Day War" last June.

The Iranian regime is facing the combing aerial might of the US and Israel, and is having a more difficult time retaliating under such relentless fire.

PHASE 2 BEGINS TONIGHT

Both US and Israeli officials announced that in the coming hours full air superiority will be achieved over all of Iran and strikes against the Iranian military will intensify.

Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem accuses Israel of starting the war with Lebanon and says his group will “fight no matter the cost.”

Lebanon has told Hezbollah to stand down.

While Spain’s government condemns America and Israel, Iranian expats living in Spain express gratitude to Israel and America, to President Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for fighting to free their nation from tyranny.

OVERNIGHT ROUNDUP

🔹 Conflicting reports that Kurdish forces from northern Iraq had moved into Iran.

🔹 The Iranian regime issued a statement warning the Kurds against getting involved.

🔹 Israeli and US forces carried out heavy airstrikes in Tehran and other locations across Iran.

🔹 Israel carried out heavy airstrikes against Hezbollah targets in Beirut.

Following unconfirmed reports, primarily by US media, that Kurdish forces had launched a ground offensive into Iran, the remaining Iranian leadership issued a statement warning the Kurds of northern Iraq.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement threatening to attack Israel’s nuclear reactor in Dimona.

The US Senate voted 53-47 against a resolution that would have compelled President Donald Trump to halt the military campaign against the Iranian regime.

Democrats in Senate, even those who support the goals of the Operation Epic Fury, are upset that Trump effectively declared war without first seeking congressional approval, as required by US law.

But Republicans, who control the Senate, were able to defeat the motion.

More fake news from the Iranian regime:

🚫 The regime claims U.S. forces are withdrawing.

🚫 They say they sank a U.S. destroyer.

🚫 IRGC claims to have taken down U.S. fighter aircraft.

🚫 The regime says they killed 100 U.S. Marines.

ALL LIES.

Reality:

✅ U.S. forces are expanding strikes deeper into Iranian airspace by the hour.

✅ U.S. forces sank 20+ Iranian regime vessels with overwhelming firepower from air, land, and sea.

✅ Over a four-day period, U.S. forces have reduced Iranian regime drone launches by 73% and ballistic missile launches by 86%.

✅ U.S. military power projection capability is unmatched.

ALL FACTS.

BIGGER LIARS THAN HAMAS

US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, who conducted negotiations with both Hamas and the Iranian regime, said that of the two, the Iranians were the bigger liars.

Witkoff told American radio host Mark Levin:

“The Iranians were pretending to negotiate but were obfuscating the whole time.”
