Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"We are crushing the terror regime in Iran with increasing force. Yesterday we destroyed transport planes and dozens of helicopters, and today we attacked the railways and bridges used by the Revolutionary Guards."

U.S. President Trump's ultimatum to Tehran ends at 8:00 PM Washington time (3:30 AM Iran time, 3:00 Israel time) tonight, leaving just under 10 hours. The deadline, set a week ago amid rising tensions over Iran's nuclear program, has led to a regional military buildup.

In the Middle East theater, the U.S. Navy has positioned two carrier strike groups, the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) and its strike group are operating in the Eastern Mediterranean, while the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) carrier strike group are operating in the Arabian Sea and has performed non-stop offensive operations on Iran since day one.

The USS Tripoli (LHA-7) is in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, and it includes roughly 2,500 Marines as part of an amphibious assault group.

Meanwhile, the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77) and its carrier strike group are currently underway towards the Eastern Mediterranean and are expected to arrive in the CENTCOM area of responsibility within a week. The USS Boxer and its amphibious assault group are expected to arrive around the same time with an additional 2,500 Marines.

Air Force strategic aviation assets have also increased with at least six B-52H Stratofortresses and an undisclosed number of B-2A Spirit and B-1 Lancer bombers that are currently active in the United Kingdom, with a total of 23 strategic bombers being frequently used in long-range strike operations against Iran.

Sirens sounded in central Israel and in Samaria (northern West Bank) amid a missile attack from Iran. The one ballistic missile fired was allowed to hit an open area, according to protocol. No injuries.

IDF troops from the 146 Division have eliminated approximately 130 Hezbollah terrorists and dismantled more than 1,000 terror infrastructure sites in southern Lebanon.

In several instances, Division soldiers identified terrorists who posed an imminent threat to them and directed the Air Force to eliminated them following attempts to flee.

The IDF Reconnaissance Unit of Battalion 226 eliminated a Hezbollah terrorist on a motorcycle by a drone in the western sector of southern Lebanon.

The IDF issued a warning to all naval vessels in the maritime area between Tyre and Ras al-Naqoura in southern Lebanon extending 20 nautical miles out to sea, to evacuate northward ahead of attacks on Hezbollah activities in the area.

A humanitarian convoy escorted by UNIFIL in southern Lebanon was disrupted today after a Hezbollah armed vehicle entered the convoy and opened fire towards the Israeli army. An Israeli drone strike subsequently targeted the vehicle, injuring one UNIFIL force.

The Papal Nuncio to Lebanon, Monsignor Paolo Borgia, who was part of the same convoy on a tour to support Christian border villages, was forced to turn back and cancel his visit due to the incident caused by the Hezbollah terrorists.

The Israeli Air Force struck the central site for the production of sonar and underwater detection systems in Shiraz, Iran. The site belongs to the Iranian regime’s Ministry of Defense and was used for the planning, research, development, and production of sonar systems that are used to detect submarines, vessels, divers, and underwater missiles.

The strike significantly impairs the Iranian terror regime’s maritime detection and defense capabilities and its ability to produce and maintain submarines and naval electronic systems.

In an additional wave of airstrikes in the city of Karaj, a central site of naval cruise missile and air defense systems was hit.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI):

Iran-affiliated cyber actors are targeting operational technology devices across US critical infrastructure, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs). These attacks have led to diminished PLC functionality, manipulation of display data and, in some cases, operational disruption and financial loss.

US organizations, especially municipalities and those in the water and energy sectors, are urged to review the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and indicators of compromise (IOCs) detailed in this advisory. Applying the recommended mitigations will reduce the risk of compromise.

Kata'ib Hezbollah in Iraq announced that they will release the American journalist Shelly Kittleson, whom they kidnapped a few days ago in Baghdad as a gesture of goodwill, on the condition that she immediately leave Iraqi territory.

Alongside the announcement, they published a tape in which the journalist confesses that she tried to gather information about the Shiite militias and senior figures in their ranks, and also noted that she was treated well by "the honorable captors."

Obviously she is saying what they went her to say, word by word.

🌲 - 🇱🇧⚠️ Caritas Lebanon ERU Safety Office: A precautionary emergency advisory states that in the event of a nuclear incident, individuals in Lebanon and nearby regions should immediately take shelter indoors in a sealed room, close all windows and ventilation systems, and follow official instructions only from Civil Defense and health authorities.
