Missile attack on central Israel a short time ago. Reports of shrapnel hitting several areas. No reports of casualties.

Overnight, the Israeli Air Force completed a broad wave of strikes on Iranian terror regime infrastructure in and around Tehran.

As part of the strikes, the IDF targeted sites used by security bodies subordinate to the Iranian regime for the production and storage of weapons. Among the sites targeted:

🔹 An Iranian military base used for training soldiers and storing missile systems intended to target aircraft

🔹 A weapons production and storage facility of the Ministry of Defense

🔹 A weapons production site of the IRGC’s Air Force

In parallel, the IDF struck an additional headquarters of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and the emergency headquarters center of the Internal Security Forces.

Iranian state TV claimed on Monday that the Islamic Republic had launched a missile bearing a poster thanking Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez at “U.S. Israeli assets” in the region.

Sánchez has not only been outspoken in opposition to Operation Roaring Lion/Epic Fury, but has gone so far as to label Israel as the primary obstacle to peace and stability in the Middle East.

Iran rejects Trump’s ultimatum on the Strait of Hormuz

The Iranian regime says ships belonging to nations not involved in the current war may pass through the Strait of Hormuz, but only after obtaining permission from Tehran.

Trump gave Iran until midnight tonight to cease all hostilities in the critical sea lane, otherwise American forces would attack Iran’s energy infrastructure.

The Iranian regime in turn threatened to attack power stations throughout the Persian Gulf and plunge the entire region into darkness.

But it might already have begun – locals in Tehran reported power outages following overnight Israeli airstrikes.

❗Israel is abuzz after Trump tweeted that he is conducting "good and productive" talks with the Iranian regime on "a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East."

Given this, Trump has ordered a 5-day pause on any plans to attack Iran's energy infrastructure.

In other words, Trump's ultimatum that Iran stop threatening the Strait of Hormuz by tonight or else have its power plants bombed is frozen.

There's concern this will make Trump's threats appear hollow, especially after Iran today announced it would not comply with the ultimatum, and that the Americans will halt the war short of regime change.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry denies Trump’s announcement regarding negotiations between the US and the Islamic Republic. Iranian officials say Trump is trying to find a way to back down from attacking Iran’s power plants following the regime’s deadly warning.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces continue to bomb Tehran, where a senior researcher connected to the terrorist regime’s missile and drone programs was reportedly eliminated.

Israel imposes further airport restrictions following weekend missile attacks

Israeli Transportation Minister Miri Regev announced additional restrictions on flight operations at Ben-Gurion International Airport in the wake of increased Iranian missile attacks on the country over the weekend.

The move will further limit the number of arrivals and departures at Israel’s main international airport to one per hour, with the number of departing passengers allowed on each departing flight reduced to 50 from 120.

Israeli ambassador: War must continue until Iranian regime weak enough to be overthrown by the people of Iran

Israel’s ambassador to the US, Yechiel Leiter, told CNN the campaign in Iran will continue until the ayatollah regime is brought to its knees, enabling the people of Iran to overthrow their own dictators and establish a free nation.

“The war will end when there’s not an entity in Tehran that’s going to threaten the region.”
