Iran warned last week that it would strike Israel if the IDF attacked the Dahiya district in Lebanon’s capital. IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said, "I approved plans to continue intensifying the blow to Hezbollah."

In a wide-ranging interview with NBC, President Donald Trump addressed the stalled negotiations with Iran and said the U.S. is prepared to keep up military pressure if no agreement is reached.

In a speech marking the anniversary of the Normandy invasion, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned about the impact of immigration on Europe. He also urged NATO countries to deepen their security commitments and work more closely together.

U.S. Central Command said it intercepted two Iranian drones in the Strait of Hormuz, declaring that "American forces remain in position and are prepared to continue defending against Iranian aggression." Iran, for its part, is accusing Washington of violating the ceasefire.

New details have emerged about a plan to topple Iran's ayatollah regime: Israel and the United States prepared an outline under which thousands of Kurdish fighters from Iraq were supposed to cross into Iranian territory. As part of the preparations, the Mossad supplied the Kurds with weapons and ammunition confiscated from Hamas and Hezbollah.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir held a joint situational assessment with northern local council heads and the General Staff at Northern Command. He stressed the ongoing military effort against Hezbollah: "We have a shared goal — protecting the residents and communities of the north and restoring calm and security over time."

According to a Wall Street Journal report, President Donald Trump told his advisers that if American troops are harmed by fire from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, it could bring the ceasefire with Iran to an end.

Just one month separated two extraordinary combat incidents in which an American pilot’s aircraft went down. After being rescued from Iranian soil when his jet was shot down, the pilot had already survived another crash weeks earlier after his plane was brought down over Kuwait. U.S. officials say the sequence is exceptionally rare: "It’s like being struck by lightning twice."

President Donald Trump says Iran is sending positive signals about reaching a deal. At the same time, a senior official in Iran’s military command is warning that renewed war is on the horizon.

At the ceremony marking the transition between Mossad chiefs, outgoing director David Barnea called for building on Israel’s recent gains against Iran and working to bring down the regime in Tehran. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised him, saying: "Dedi, great things were done on your watch."

The United States said it struck military targets in Iran after an American drone was shot down. Iran responded by launching missiles toward a U.S. base in Kuwait and warning against any further escalation.

Mohammad Qalibaf, who is leading Iran’s delegation in talks with the U.S., made the remarks in response to questions from reporters in Iran. According to a report in Iran, there is opposition within the regime to discussing the nuclear issue.

A ballistic missile launched from Iran was intercepted near Kuwait, which condemned the attack. U.S. Central Command also confirmed that Iranian drones were launched toward a U.S. military vessel. The hostile aircraft were intercepted.

Iranian media reported that a preliminary agreement has been reached with the U.S. It reportedly includes a withdrawal of American forces from the Arabian Sea and reopening the Strait of Hormuz to shipping under joint Iranian-Omani supervision. The White House responded: “A complete fabrication.”

The United States carried out overnight strikes on a military site in Iran that it said posed a threat to American forces and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Hours later, sirens sounded in Kuwait following a missile and drone attack. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said: We struck a U.S. base in response to the attacks in Iran.

Israel’s Police Internal Investigations Department says it questioned an officer serving in Lahav 433 on suspicion of maintaining contact with an Iranian intelligence agent. He was released under restrictive conditions.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir spoke at the ceremony welcoming the strategic refueling aircraft "Gideon" to Nevatim Airbase, the first of six purchased in the U.S., and addressed the Iranian front: "The evil structure of the ayatollah regime has been significantly cracked."

Iran’s regime released a statement in the name of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. Tehran is demanding guarantees, including control over the Strait of Hormuz, as a condition for moving forward in negotiations. President Donald Trump is convening a special Cabinet security meeting today.

Iranian leader Mojtaba Khamenei sent a message to the Gulf states, warning that "Israel is approaching the final stages of its miserable life." Referring to the American strike overnight, he said: "We reserve the right to respond to any violation of the ceasefire."
