🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️— Trump is out of patience, and out of options, WSJ reports.

In a recent Oval Office meeting, the president launched into a tirade against Iranian leaders, calling them scumbags and lunatics. Five months into a war he was certain would take weeks, Trump has stopped believing diplomacy can end it. A senior administration official says he is now in “revenge mode,” convinced the only thing Tehran understands is force, and that he sees few options left besides more strikes.

The cost is piling up around him. More than a dozen US servicemembers killed, oil prices spiking after Houthi attacks on Saudi tankers, approval ratings falling, and a conservative coalition beginning to crack. Steve Bannon says Netanyahu “led us into a horrible conflict filled with lies.” Laura Ingraham is warning the clock is ticking to the midterms. Trump himself has grown so frustrated with Netanyahu that he has told aides he doesn’t want to meet with him at all.

The war has become personal too. Senior aides have been warned by intelligence agencies that Iran is trying to kill them and told to stop using car services. Trump was briefed on an Iranian plot against his own life while in Turkey, and switched to an older Air Force One for the flight home.

His two negotiators, Kushner and Witkoff, still think a deal is possible. Trump increasingly does not. As one senior Republican put it: “I believe he thinks he gave peace a chance. He’s going back to Plan A, which is the military operation.”

@IntelSlava

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — NEW: The Trump administration is growing concerned over the depletion rate of advanced US munitions in the Iran conflict, with stockpiles of high-end interceptors and precision missiles under strain, CBS reports.

➡️ Heavy use of Patriot and THAAD interceptors, Tomahawk cruise missiles, and JASSMs has stressed US weapons inventories.

➡️ The Pentagon has shifted toward cheaper, shorter-range alternatives — including JDAMs and Small Diameter Bombs — to preserve high-end munitions stocks.

➡️ Officials warn the current consumption pace is unsustainable and could degrade US readiness for a potential conflict with China.

➡️ Missile production timelines spanning years make rapid stockpile replenishment unlikely in the near term.

🇮🇱❌🇵🇸 — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has come under fire after publishing an AI-generated video depicting his political rival Gadi Eisenkot.

➡️ The video showed the head of the opposition party Yashar, Gadi Eisenkot, with a young man strikingly similar to his son, Gal Eisenkot, who was killed in 2023 during an operation to rescue Israeli hostages in Gaza, a few days after the end of the first ceasefire.

➡️ In the video, Eisenkot is seen running with outstretched arms toward the young man resembling his son, wearing a shirt with the words "unity of Israel," but when Eisenkot reaches the young man, he runs past him and throws himself into the arms of Mansour Abbas, an Arab-Israeli lawmaker who heads the United Arab List in the Knesset.

➡️ The video ends with the caption:
"Eisenkot cannot form a government without Yair Golan and the Arab parties."

➡️ Many critics have spoken out against Benjamin Netanyahu due to the resemblance of the young man in the video to Gadi Eisenkot's deceased son.

➡️ Naama Lazimi, a Knesset member, stated that "this video offers a new insight into Netanyahu's rotten and malicious character."

➡️ Einav Zangauker, the mother of a hostage released from Gaza and a leading activist for the release of hostages held in Gaza, strongly criticized the video in an interview with Haaretz:

"This is not politics. This is not a legitimate rivalry between two candidates for prime minister. This is an affront to the dignity of a grieving father. This is the height of baseness."

@IntelSlava

🇮🇱⚡️ — Israeli polls show Eisenkot's Yashar party leading with 24 seats, with the opposition bloc holding a 69–51 advantage over Netanyahu's coalition, Haaretz reports.

➡️ Despite the opposition lead, Jewish opposition parties cannot secure a majority without support from Arab parties.

➡️ A Reichman University study found a majority of opposition voters support forming a government with Arab parties, while Netanyahu bloc supporters overwhelmingly oppose the idea.
