‼️ TRUMP WARNS IRAN OF “ONE BIG GLOW”

🎦 Footage circulated overnight from the reported Iranian attack on American destroyers and the subsequent U.S. retaliation. Opposition-linked Iranian sources claimed the footage showed the moments of the U.S. attack on Bandar Abbas.

⚠️ President Trump stated that the ceasefire with Iran remains in effect despite the latest exchange of fire. He described the confrontation as “a display of love” and said Iran “trifled with us today,” while the U.S. response “blew them away.”

❗️ Trump warned that if the ceasefire collapses, “you’re not gonna have to know… you’re just gonna have to look at one big glow coming out of Iran.” He said nuclear talks with Tehran are “going very well,” but warned that failure to sign an agreement would bring “a lot of pain.”

Trump also said Iran wants a nuclear agreement “a lot more” than the United States does. He added that Iran “doesn’t understand” anything else and suggested the strikes were intended as a direct warning tied to ongoing negotiations.

⚔️ Trump stated that three American destroyers successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz while under missile, drone, and small-boat attacks from Iran. He said the U.S. warships sustained no damage.

According to Trump, Iranian attacking forces, including numerous small boats, were “completely destroyed.” He said incoming missiles were intercepted and drones were destroyed in the air.

Trump added that the destroyers would rejoin the ongoing U.S. naval blockade in the region, which he described as a “Wall of Steel.” He also warned that if Tehran does not sign a nuclear deal quickly, future U.S. military action would be “a lot harder” and “more violent.”

⚔️ CENTCOM stated that U.S. forces intercepted “unprovoked Iranian attacks” and carried out self-defense strikes while U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz into the Gulf of Oman on May 7.

❗️ U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz claimed that Iran attacked a Chinese oil tanker off the coast of the UAE earlier this week.

Akraminia also said: "Countries that impose US sanctions on our country will face difficulties in passing through the Strait of Hormuz".

♟️ Wall Street Journal reports Israel operated secret base in Iraq during Iran campaign: The Wall Street Journal reported that Israel established a clandestine forward operating base in Iraq’s western desert before its air campaign against Iran, with U.S. knowledge. The base reportedly supported Israeli special forces operations and search-and-rescue missions connected to long-range strikes against Iran.

According to the report, the operation nearly collapsed after an Iraqi shepherd noticed unusual helicopter activity in early March and Iraqi forces moved to investigate. Israeli airstrikes reportedly struck the Iraqi convoy to preserve the secrecy of the base, killing one Iraqi soldier and wounding others, including a local commander.

Military sources cited in Israeli media said the base was likely located in the Najaf desert and was intended to support emergency deployments, including possible rescue operations for downed Israeli pilots. Israeli Air Force Commander Tomer Bar had previously referenced “extraordinary missions that can ignite the imagination” in a March letter tied to the same timeframe.

In Iraq, reports claim that after exposure of the alleged Israeli base, Iraqi authorities detected a military presence in the desert during the war and were told by the U.S. not to approach the area.

⚠️ IRAN THREATENS U.S. FORCES AND SHIPPING AS RUBIO WARNS IRANIAN ATTACK BOATS “ARE GOING TO GET BLOWN UP”

⚠️ Iran says its response to the U.S. proposal was delivered through Pakistan: Iranian media reported that Tehran conveyed its response to the American proposal through Pakistan. An IRGC spokesperson on Iranian television said, “We conveyed our response to the US proposal to end the war through Pakistan. Our response at this stage concerns only the end of the war and nothing beyond.”

From the tone of the statement, President Trump’s demands were not accepted in Iran’s response, and Tehran does not appear willing to dismantle its nuclear program.

❗️ Iranian officials threaten attacks on American vessels and bases: Iran National Security spokesman Ebrahim Rezaei said, “From today, our patience is over. Any attack against our vessels will be met with a heavy and decisive response by Iran against vessels and American bases.”

⚠️ Secretary Rubio warns Iran that any attack on U.S. forces will trigger immediate retaliation: U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, “Only stupid countries don’t shoot back when you’re shot at. And we’re not a stupid country.”

Rubio added, “The redline is clear – if Iranian boats threaten Americans, they’re going to get blown up.”

Responding to questions about continued clashes despite ceasefire discussions, Rubio said the United States was responding to Iranian attacks rather than initiating them.

He said U.S. forces would continue intercepting drones and responding to threats against American ships and personnel.

Rubio stated that Iran’s naval capabilities have been significantly degraded and said Iranian forces are increasingly relying on fast attack boats and drones.

He said any Iranian vessels approaching American warships in a threatening manner would be targeted before reaching attack range.

⚠️ TRUMP SIGNALS POSSIBLE ADDITIONAL STRIKES ON IRAN AS SA’AR SAYS ACTION PREVENTED IRANIAN NUCLEAR “IMMUNITY”

‼️ President Trump said additional military action against Iran remains possible as Washington seeks stronger leverage ahead of future negotiations. In an interview with Fox News’ Mark Levin, Trump said the U.S. may continue strikes for another two weeks, adding that additional Iranian targets remain and that further attacks are “very likely.”

❗️ Trump warned Iran against attempting to recover enriched uranium buried beneath destroyed facilities. He said the United States is monitoring the sites closely and would strike again if Iran attempts to access the material. Trump also claimed roughly 70% of Iran’s targets had already been hit and said Iran’s ability to rebuild its capabilities would take years even without additional attacks.

🇮🇱 Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar praised President Trump’s handling of Iran’s nuclear program, contrasting it with the U.S. approach toward North Korea in the 1990s. Sa’ar argued that failure to act against North Korea allowed it to become a nuclear state, while current action against Iran was taken before Tehran could reach a similar stage.

Sa’ar said Israeli and American leadership concluded military action was necessary after intelligence showed Iran was preparing to move key parts of its nuclear program into extremely deep underground facilities that would become effectively immune to airstrikes. He warned that delaying action would have created a “de facto immunity” zone for Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and severely limited future military options.

❗️ Sa’ar said an Iranian nuclear capability would dramatically increase the threat posed by Tehran and its regional proxy network, including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. He also said Washington attempted diplomacy before military action, including outreach efforts by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, but claimed Iran refused to engage on core U.S. demands involving nuclear activity, ballistic missiles, and support for regional militant groups.

Sa’ar said Israel has had no direct diplomatic engagement with Iran for roughly two decades and described the Iranian regime as committed to Israel’s destruction while also targeting American allies across the region. He also rejected claims that Israel seeks territorial expansion into Iran, calling the suggestion “ridiculous.”

⚠️ NETANYAHU SAYS IRAN WAR “NOT OVER” AS ISRAEL DEMANDS REMOVAL OF ENRICHED URANIUM AND DISMANTLING OF NUCLEAR SITES

⚠️ Prime Minister Netanyahu said in an interview with 60 Minutes that despite major achievements against Iran, the conflict is “not over.” He said Iran still retains enriched uranium, nuclear infrastructure, ballistic missile capabilities, and regional proxy networks, adding that Israel and its allies have significantly degraded these systems, but “there’s work to be done.”

Netanyahu said Iran’s highly enriched uranium must ultimately be removed from the country and remaining enrichment sites dismantled. Asked how the uranium would be removed, Netanyahu replied: “You go in and you take it out.”

❗️ Netanyahu said President Trump told him: “I want to go in there,” and suggested the material could be physically removed under a future agreement. He said implementation would be achievable if inspectors or forces are allowed to enter and extract the uranium directly.

Asked whether the uranium could be removed by force if no agreement is reached, Netanyahu declined to discuss military options or operational plans. He also refused to provide a timetable for completing the mission, but called preventing Iran from retaining nuclear capabilities “a terrifically important mission.”

‼️ An Iranian official warned that Iran would “immediately strike” French and British warships if they approach the Strait of Hormuz, saying they “are not welcome.”

🛰️ An Iraqi security source told Al Jazeera that no Israeli forces were detected in western Iraq during the war and said it was “more likely that the forces were American.” The source said jamming and alarm devices were discovered in Wadi Shanan, while forces reportedly carried out landing operations in the Najaf and Samawa deserts without coordination.

Another Iraqi security official told Al Hadath that a local shepherd reported suspicious activity in the Nukhayb desert near Najaf on March 4. The official said Iraqi forces moved to investigate, but the U.S. warned them not to approach the area. According to the official, one Iraqi soldier was killed and two others were injured during subsequent clashes at the site.

⚠️ President Trump accused Iran of “playing games” with the United States and the international community for 47 years, describing Tehran’s approach as prolonged delays and manipulation during negotiations and regional confrontations. Trump sharply criticized former President Barack Obama’s Iran policy, claiming it strengthened Tehran economically and strategically while weakening traditional U.S. alliances in the region, particularly with Israel.

❌ IRAN REJECTS KEY U.S. NUCLEAR DEMANDS WHILE LINKING SANCTIONS RELIEF AND STRAIT OF HORMUZ REOPENING TO END-OF-WAR TERMS

⚠️ The Wall Street Journal reported that Iran’s response does not meet American demands regarding its nuclear program and enriched uranium. Tehran proposed diluting its enriched uranium stockpile and transferring part of it to a third country other than the United States.

Iran is demanding that the enriched uranium be returned to its possession if talks fail or if the United States later withdraws from the agreement. Tehran also agreed to halt uranium enrichment, but for a period shorter than 20 years.

❗️ Iran refused to dismantle its nuclear facilities. Reports in the U.S. and Lebanon stated that Iran’s response does not address the core American demands regarding the dismantling of the nuclear program and long-term control over enriched uranium.

According to the reports, Iran’s response instead focused heavily on Tehran’s demands for an end to the war in Iran and Lebanon and the lifting of sanctions, in exchange for the “gradual reopening” of the Strait of Hormuz.

🚫 IRAN REJECTS U.S. PROPOSAL AS NETANYAHU HOLDS URGENT SECURITY TALKS AND U.S.-ALLIED NAVAL PRESSURE BUILDS IN THE REGION

⚠️ Iran’s official media announced that Tehran has rejected the U.S. proposal, describing it as “surrendering to Trump’s excessive demands.” According to Tasnim News, Iran’s response demanded an immediate end to the war on all fronts, guarantees against future attacks on Iran, the lifting of all sanctions including restrictions on oil exports, an end to the U.S. naval blockade, the release of frozen Iranian assets, and Iran’s right to “manage” the Strait of Hormuz.

❗️ President Trump rejected Iran’s response publicly. He stated: “I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called “Representatives.” I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!”

⚠️ An Iranian source told Tasnim News Agency: “We just saw the reaction of the so-called president of the US to Iran's response. It has no importance; No one in Iran writes proposals to please Trump. The negotiating team should draft proposals only for the rights of the Iranian people, and when Trump is dissatisfied with them, naturally that is better".

📺 Iranian state television, IRIB, later confirmed that Iran had rejected the American proposal, describing it as an attempt to force Iran into surrender. The latest statements mark a shift from efforts to modify an existing framework to open rejection by both sides.

🇮🇱 Prime Minister Netanyahu ended his testimony earlier in order to hold a security discussion later in the day. He is expected to convene an urgent meeting with the heads of Israel’s security services following Iran’s response to President Trump’s proposal.

CENTCOM stated that more than 20 U.S. warships are enforcing the blockade against Iran, and that its forces redirected 61 commercial vessels and disabled four to ensure compliance.

☢️ Former Israeli minister Prof. Yuval Steinitz said that before the war, Iran was only months away from being able to produce a nuclear bomb, but after Israeli and American strikes, Tehran is now years away from rebuilding its nuclear capabilities. According to Steinitz, Israel destroyed major enrichment facilities, weaponization infrastructure, conversion plants, and eliminated key nuclear scientists involved in bomb development. He said the objective of the war was stopping Iran’s nuclear program, not regime change.

❗️ South Korea’s presidency condemned the attack on a Korean cargo ship and stated: “We strongly condemn the attack on a Korean cargo ship and intend to respond to the aggressor once they have been identified".

🛰️ Prime Minister Netanyahu stated: “China gave a certain amount of support and particular components of missile manufacturing to Iran, and I don't like it".

‼️ TRUMP SAYS IRAN CEASEFIRE IS “ON LIFE SUPPORT” AS U.S. WEIGHS RENEWED MILITARY ACTION AND STRAIT OF HORMUZ OPERATIONS

‼️ President Trump sharply criticized Iran’s latest response to the United States, describing it as “a piece of garbage” and saying he did not finish reading it. He said the ceasefire is now “unbelievably weak” and “on massive life support,” comparing it to a patient with “approximately a one percent chance of living.”

🛡️ Dr. Mehmet Oz, who was present during the exchange, described the situation as carrying a “bad prognostic.” The remarks followed Iran’s rejection of key American demands and continued public escalation between Washington and Tehran.

⚠️ President Trump said Monday he is still aiming for “complete victory” in the war against Iran despite mounting pressure for a negotiated settlement. Speaking to reporters, Trump said Iran believes he will “get tired of this,” “get bored,” or come under pressure, but insisted “there’s no pressure at all.” He added: “We’re going to have a complete victory. We already, in theory, have a complete victory from a military standpoint.”

President Trump also said Monday that “a large group of generals” was waiting for him to discuss Iran following the Oval Office exchange. The comments came as the administration reviewed Iran’s latest counter-offer amid ongoing ceasefire negotiations tied to Operation Epic Fury.

❗️ Earlier in the day, Trump publicly rejected Iran’s proposal as “totally unacceptable” and “a piece of garbage.” He also expressed frustration that Iran had backed away from what he described as a prior verbal understanding allowing the removal of highly enriched uranium from the country.

Trump said he plans to raise the issue later this week in Beijing during talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, as part of an effort to pressure China to help secure a more favorable agreement.

⚠️ According to Axios, President Trump met Monday with his national security team to discuss next steps in the Iran war following stalled negotiations. Options under discussion reportedly include restarting “Project Freedom,” the suspended U.S. naval escort operation in the Strait of Hormuz, or resuming airstrikes against the remaining 25% of Iranian targets identified by the U.S. military.

Trump also told Fox he is considering renewing the operation to liberate the Strait of Hormuz under “Project Freedom.”

Israel is also reportedly pushing for a special forces mission to secure Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, although Trump is said to view the proposal as highly risky. Two U.S. officials told Axios that Trump is leaning toward additional pressure measures against Tehran.

One official stated: “He will tune them up a bit,” while another added: “I think we all know where this is going.” Officials also said they do not expect Trump to authorize military action before returning from China.

❗️ In additional remarks, Trump criticized Kurdish groups over efforts tied to Iran. He claimed weapons provided for delivery inside Iran were instead kept by Kurdish elements and said expectations for Kurdish support were not met.

Trump described growing public frustration and calls for protest inside Iran, claiming civilians “want to go out on the streets” despite lacking weapons or organized support. The remarks portrayed conditions inside the country as increasingly tense and unstable.

Trump further stated that he had previously warned the effort “would never work,” saying he opposed the decision from the beginning and now believes events have validated his position.

♟️ U.S. STRATEGIC MILITARY BUILDUP CONTINUES AROUND IRAN AS TRUMP SIGNALS BOTH PRESSURE AND A POSSIBLE DEAL

✈️ Ben Gurion International Airport is currently seeing heavy activity from U.S. Air Force aerial refueling aircraft. Dozens of U.S. tanker aircraft remain stationed at the airport.

⚠️ The U.S. Sixth Fleet confirmed that an Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine entered the Mediterranean theater through Gibraltar on May 10 for a port visit. The U.S. Navy did not officially identify the submarine, but multiple defense analysts believe it is the USS Georgia (SSGN-729), one of the most heavily armed submarines in the world, capable of carrying large cruise missile payloads and supporting special operations forces.

The U.S. rarely publicizes submarine movements unless it intends to send a strategic message. In this context, the movement is widely viewed as directed toward Iran.

☢️ An Iranian source told Al Jazeera: “The US has demanded a halt to uranium enrichment for twenty years, and Iran has rejected this demand. Washington has refused to transfer Iran's highly enriched uranium to Russia and proposed a third country to transfer it to. Iran has refused to transfer uranium outside its territory and is ready to enrich it under the supervision of the IAEA”.

🇺🇸 President Trump on Iran: “I think it's very possible to reach a deal. Look, I've had to deal with them four or five times. They change their mind. They're very dishonorable people, the leadership. These people — you make a deal, and then the next day they send you a document that takes five days to get there when it should have been there in 20 minutes, you know, it's a pretty simple document.”

🚨 KNESSET APPROVES LAW TO PROSECUTE OCTOBER 7 TERRORISTS AS ISRAEL REJECTS EU SANCTIONS ON JUDEA AND SAMARIA AND ELECTION DATE DEBATE CONTINUES

🚨 The law to prosecute the terrorists responsible for the October 7 Simchat Torah massacre was approved by a majority of 93 Knesset members. Judges will be able to impose the death penalty, and terrorists convicted under the law will never be released, including in future hostage-prisoner exchange deals.

The legislation was advanced through cooperation between coalition and opposition lawmakers, including Justice Minister Yariv Levin, Constitution Committee Chairman Simcha Rothman, and Yisrael Beiteinu MK Yulia Malinovsky. Supporters described the legislation as “the modern Eichmann trials,” saying the trials “will take place in Jerusalem” and calling the law “history and national heritage.”

The statement accompanying the law said Israel was taking “a historic step of justice and national remembrance,” adding that those who “massacred, murdered, raped, and kidnapped Israeli civilians will be brought to justice and will pay the heaviest possible price.”

The statement further declared: “The State of Israel will neither forget nor forgive. This is a moral obligation to the victims, the bereaved families, the hostages, and the entire people of Israel.”

❗️ A new report by the Civil Commission for Documentation and Investigation of Hamas Crimes compiled more than 10,000 findings related to sexual assaults committed during the October 7 massacre and in Hamas captivity.

According to the report, documented cases include gang rape, severe sexual abuse in Hamas captivity, and incidents in which family members were forced to perform sexual acts on one another.

Yoseph Haddad stated: “Everything is documented and proven!” He added that “the war against Hamas will not end until we eliminate the last terrorist and ensure that this terrorist organization is destroyed.”

⚠️ The Prime Minister’s Office accused the European Union of creating “false symmetry between Israeli citizens and Hamas terrorists” while Israel and the United States are “doing Europe’s dirty work” against “Jihadist lunatics in Iran and elsewhere.”

The statement rejected possible European sanctions on Israelis living in Judea and Samaria, declaring that “Judea is where Jews come from” and stating that Israel “will always protect the rights of Jews to live in the heart of our ancestral homeland.”

⚠️ Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich reportedly demanded the transfer of areas in Judea and Samaria from Areas A and B to Area C in response to European Union sanctions. Associates described the move as “effectively the annulment of the Oslo Accords.”

🗳️ Coalition discussions over a possible election date are continuing. Likud reportedly prefers elections on October 20 or 27, while Shas supports September 15, shortly after Rosh Hashanah.

According to reports, Prime Minister Netanyahu is using his influence to push for elections after the holiday period rather than during it.
