❗️An Israeli push towards Markaba town is ongoing under heavy artillery and airstrikes

Aoun met Berri today to discuss the situation

Phenomenal and as foreshadowed

Oman’s Foreign Minister, Badr Albusaidi:

Oman is working intensively to put in place safe passage arrangements for the Strait of Hormuz.

❗️Iran's Foreign Ministry says there are no talks with Washington and accuses Trump of buying time while regional de-escalation efforts go on.

A bluff by either sides or no, this is the first real tangible offramp for this war to end.

Israel and the U.S failed by going all in and not toppling the regime, strengthening its hold on the country's future and ensuring they are less afraid from engagement after they suffered loss of detterence due to the so-called "strategic patience"

At the same time the U.S and Israel damaged Iran's industries enough to reduce the size of the Iranian threat, engaging it in a very hard process to rebuild both industry and military under very harsh existing sanctions

Israeli security cabinet meeting was postponed due to these developments

Someone is pissed

❗️IDF: Initial report- The IDF is currently conducting strikes on Iranian terror regime targets in the heart of Tehran.

✍ BTW despite what I said above, the offramp will not necessary be successful because so far, the Marines and the U.S ships do not show any signs of slowing down at all.

They are still heading towards the war in Iran. This offramp? Might end up being only how Trump saves face to not attack electricity after his stupid statement and threat.

Finally, it's good that the Omani MFA clearly said "this war was not of Iran's making". It indeed wasn't, it is a forced war on the country

Exactly as Israel's is on Lebanon, no matter what anyone says.

The crazy part, expected with the corrupt Trump who obsessed about the markets, he said so to end this week's market losses and make it profitable again

And in 5 days? What happens? Opsy, markets close and he can mess up as much as he want

So far 3 main bridges down and a couple smaller passages.

A new bridge is under threat deep in the area between eastern south Lebanon, and the other provinces that extend to Beqaa

Netanyahu in response to the request by the head of the Knesset Intelligence Committee to thwart a bad agreement with Iran: We are working on it

🇦🇪🤝🇺🇸 As the U.S. considers a possible amphibious operation to seize Iran’s Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf, a broader push could target Abu Musa and the Greater Tunb islands.

The UAE could potentially join the U.S. Marines in such an operation, given its sizable fleet of amphibious landing ships, including numerous LSTs and support vessels.

By different people does he simply mean a different person leading the same system lol? Could have gotten the same result if he waited for 86 y/o Sayyed Ali to pass from natural causes

🇺🇸 Ted Cruz admits he played a key role in pushing President Trump to launch a war with Iran just one day before it started.

He told Trump that the collapse of Iran would be one of the greatest steps for America’s safety.

Cruz says he persuaded the President to abandon all peaceful negotiations.

“I urged the President to launch this attack.”

🇰🇷⚓️🇺🇸 In South Korea, shipbuilding is far ahead of the U.S. 60 Minutes saw nine ships built at once with rows of robots working.

📝: Reminder that the U.S. withdrew all THAAD and MIM-104 Patriot radars and launchers from South Korea leaving them vulnerable to an attack from the DPRK to defend Israel, this all the while South Korean shipyard carry out critical maintenance procedures for the U.S. Navy's warships and even build new ships for it, the U.S. Coast Guard and more.

Hezbullah attacked the town 5 times today after continuous Israeli aggression on Lebanese towns

❗️Medics are responding to reports of several rocket impacts in the northern border city of Kiryat Shmona.

Iranian MP Bijan Nobaveh:

Because the United States realized that Iran had entered an existential conflict and would definitely act on its threats, it cowardly backed down.

Trump said that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner took part in talks with Iran last night.
