IDF-Lebanese Armed Forces talks at the Pentagon hit a dead end yesterday. No progress was made, per a source familiar with the details.

Israeli official: "They don't seem to understand reality. They are not in a position to improve their bargaining position at our expense."

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"Last night, our heroic fighters captured the Beaufort castle. They proudly raised the flag of the State of Israel and the flag of the Golani Brigade there.

I remind you that 44 years ago, this place was a symbol of a heroic battle by our fighters, but it was also a symbol of deep division among us.

Today, we returned to Beaufort differently. We returned united, determined, and stronger than ever. I spoke with the fighters on the northern border on Friday. They told me: 'Tell the people of Israel what we are doing here. Prime Minister, the public doesn't know what achievements we have made.'

Well, since the beginning of the War of Redemption we have eliminated 8,000 Hezbollah terrorists. Since Operation Roaring Lion – 3,000. In the past month alone – 700. This is more than everyone we eliminated during the Second Lebanon War.

I have instructed the IDF to expand the incursion in Lebanon. Our forces have crossed the Litani River. They took dominant terrain. They captured the Beaufort ridge. And now my instruction is to deepen and expand our hold on places that were under Hezbollah's control.

The capture of Beaufort is a dramatic stage and a dramatic change in the policy we are leading. We have broken the barrier of fear. We are taking the initiative, we are operating on all fronts – in Syria, in Gaza, in Lebanon; we have established security zones beyond our borders to protect our communities.

On Friday, I spoke with the brigade commanders. They are daring brigade commanders, inside the territory, leading the heroic soldiers. And they told me: 'Prime Minister, we are carrying out the mission. We are charging forward – and Hezbollah is fleeing for its life.' And I told them: 'I am with you. The entire nation of Israel is with you. It will take more time, but we will restore security to the residents of the North, just as we did for the residents of the South.'

It will take time, but we will complete the mission."

Esmail Khosari, member of Iran's National Security Committee:

Talks with Washington are ongoing but have produced no deal. "We know they will not lead to a result."

He called everything the U.S. president says "a lie" aimed at controlling global energy prices.

The nuclear issue "was never on the table and will not be." Iran says current talks focus on ending the war, compensation, U.S. withdrawal from the region, and lifting the naval blockade.

RT @ab3army: Офіційно: Луганщина відтепер під контролем дронів Третього армійського корпусу!

Бійці батальйону безпілотних систем Третьої штурмової завдали ударів по логістиці окупантів на тимчасово окупованій Луганщині, діставшись до самого КПП «Ізварине» — це понад 205 км углиб території, контрольованої ворогом.
Під час операції пілоти ББС уразили бронетехніку та склади боєприпасів противника.

«У відповідь на заяви ворога про повне захоплення Луганської області оголошуємо операцію з контролю логістичних маршрутів на Луганщині та Східній Слобожанщині. Луганськ, Старобільськ, Алчевськ, Брянка, Кадіївка — тепер перебувають під контролем БПЛА Третього армійського корпусу», — заявив командир корпусу, бригадний генерал Андрій Білецький.

Успішну технологічну операцію спланував і очолив друг Схід — командир взводу ударних БПЛА, уродженець Луганщини.
У 2022 році він десантувався в оточений Маріуполь, а після завершення його оборони самотужки вийшов на підконтрольну територію, за що отримав звання Героя України.

RT @BrettErickson28: Last night, President Trump made a move that came as a surprise to many.

He got TOUGHER in his negotiating position.

But why did he do this is the question many are asking right now. Iran has consistently rejected terms offered by the United States because, quite frankly, they are ridiculously maximalist and entirely detached from the reality of the situation.

Trump is at the table with Iran holding a 7 & 2 off-suit, and Iran is sitting with pocket aces.

So why even waste the time to make an offer Iran is sure to refuse immediately?

Because the deal wasn’t meant for Iran. It was meant for American consumption.

Throughout this conflict, from a strategic standpoint, Trump has been absolutely dog walked by the Iranian regime. From the very first day that Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, and every day since, Iran has held the upper hand, and it only gets stronger by the day.

Trump knows this, even as he wallows in self pity and denial. Iran obviously knows this, and sees the upcoming bullet train of the World Cup, lowest SPR levels in history, midterms, cratering approval numbers… everything is going south for Trump fast at this point. It’s spiraling, and Trump looks increasingly desperate for a deal.

As much as Trump has tried to claim Iran is “begging” for a deal, it is obvious to everyone that it is really Trump that is on his hands and knees.

So if he’s going to reject the latest Iranian proposal because the terms are simply a step too far… why not give the image, the bluster, the BRAVADO of a “tough on Iran” Commander in Chief to sell to the American people.

“Trump is dictating the terms”
“Trump is running the show”
“The United States is in control”

Of course, this is all obviously rubbish. Iran knows that. Trump knows that. And everyone around the world knows that. But it’s not meant for them, it’s meant for his MAGA base.

Trump, by setting forth even more ludicrous terms, allows for a kicking of the can down the road, and the veneer of a tough President that will placate his base that has been ready to rip him to shreds.

It’s not a serious offer. It doesn’t have even the slightest of chance to be accepted by Iran. But it was never meant for them.

It was meant for the desperate and hopeless President Trump to try to prove to his base that he is still in control.

Even when he is clearly not.
