Iran continues to lash out at Arab countries in the Persian Gulf.

The UAE Ministry of Defense:

"We intercepted five ballistic missiles and 17 drones launched from Iran today.

"Since the start of the war, 357 ballistic missiles, 15 cruise missiles, and 1,806 drones have been fired at us."

The New York Times reports that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is urging Trump to continue the war against Iran, arguing that the joint US-Israeli military operation offers a "historic opportunity" to reshape the Middle East.

In several conversations last week, bin Salman reportedly stressed that efforts must be made to eliminate the extremist regime in Iran—particularly the current hardline government.

Bin Salman emphasized that Iran poses a long-term threat to the Gulf region and that there is no way to eliminate it other than by overthrowing the regime.

Saudi Arabia, like Israel, sees the same objective in Iran: true regime change.

Iran claims to defend Jerusalem. Its missiles proved otherwise.

When missile debris lands near Al-Aqsa and Palestinians are wounded and killed, the mask slips. The slogan of “protecting Jerusalem” collides with reality.

Our latest article looks at the outrage spreading across Arab and Palestinian discourse as Iran’s war reaches the very city it claims to champion—and exposes just how disposable its rhetoric really is.

Iranian officials tell Lebanese media that they reject Trump's 15-point ceasefire proposal.

Iranian state media now also reports that the regime has rejected Trump's 15-point proposal, calling it "exaggerated and disconnected from reality."

❗Defense Minister Israel Katz approved an expansion of the IDF target bank in Iran, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly ordered the military to accelerate attacks against the Iranian regime before President Trump declares a ceasefire.

Reports suggest Israel has another 48 hours to do as much damage as possible to the Islamic Republic.

Iran has responded to Trump's proposal with its own conditions for ending the war:

1. Iran demands an end to aggression and targeted killings by the enemy.

2. Iran demands concrete guarantees to prevent a recurrence of the war.

3. Iran demands guaranteed compensation payments for war damages.

4. Iran demands a complete end to fighting on all fronts, including against all resistance groups (terrorist militias) and their proxies, including Hezbollah.

5. Iran demands recognition of its sovereignty (❗) over the Strait of Hormuz as a natural and legitimate right.

In a video conference with foreign ambassadors, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar urges other nations to follow Lebanon’s example and expel Iranian ambassadors from their capitals.

Israeli airstrikes reported this evening in Mashhad, eastern Iran.

Since midnight, Iran fired three missiles at central Israel. All three were intercepted. Debris from one missile landed in the Arab town of Kfar Qasim and lightly wounded six people.

And now sirens again.

Intercepted. Shrapnel fell in the central Israel town of Modi'in. No immediate reports of injuries.

Muhoozi Kainerugaba, defense minister of Uganda and son of the nation’s president, tweeted that Uganda wants the war in the Middle East to end, BUT said if there was any more talk of destroying Israel, Uganda itself would enter the war… “On the side of Israel!”

“If Israel needs help, it only need ask. Their Ugandan brothers are ready to assist.”

Kainerugaga explained that the reason for Uganda’s position is their biblical faith:

“We stand with Israel because we are Christians. Saved by the Holy Son of God...Jesus Christ the only One who can forgive sins. The Bible says 'Blessed are you Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord? He is your shield and helper and your glorious sword.' (Deuteronomy 33:29)”
