A report in the New York Times: Iran's leader Ali Khamenei ordered all the country's armed forces to prepare for war with Israel. Khamenei instructed the army to present several response plans to an Israeli attack on Iran - and the response will be determined according to the severity of the Israeli attack. Various sources in Iran said that if the Israeli attack causes heavy damage and casualties - Iran will respond, but if it is limited and focuses on military facilities and ammunition depots - Iran may not do anything.

In memory of Capt. Itai Giat of the 14th, who fell in a heroic battle in southern Lebanon.🙏🕯️

Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati: "The Israeli aggression against Lebanon led to the displacement of 1.4 million people - we demand an immediate ceasefire."🤡

Lebanese political commentator goes on TV and says:

“We shouldn’t stab Hezbollah in the back. We should stab them in the face”

The IDF spokesman stated that "Masalam was responsible for carrying out many firing plans against IDF forces and against settlements in the north of the country."

Israel has been preparing for a campaign against Iran for years, this will not be an attack and we are done, it will be a long campaign until the Iranian threat is destroyed. The US needs to change policy and lead.

Approximately 100 American social organizations have urged the U.S. Senate to halt arms sales to Israel, citing the use of American weapons in attacks that have resulted in the deaths of thousands of Palestinian and Lebanese civilians, including aid workers and journalists. Notable signatories of the letter include Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, along with numerous churches. The letter specifically calls for a ban on certain weapons, such as JDAM bombs and tank shells, but excludes missile defense systems like Iron Dome.

Imposing an arms embargo on Israel would indeed be a significant strategic misstep for the US. Israel is a crucial ally in the Middle East, and such a move would undermine America's influence in the region. By restricting arms sales, the US would essentially be untieing Israel's hands in its fight against terrorism, forcing it to become even more self-reliant.

Consider Israel's impressive track record of innovation in defense technology, exemplified by the Iron Dome. This remarkable achievement demonstrates Israel's capabilities and potential for self-sufficiency. An embargo would likely accelerate Israel's defense industry growth, potentially leading to increased independence from US arms supplies.

The repercussions of an embargo would extend beyond the US-Israel relationship, sending a worrying message to other American allies. It would convey that the US is an unreliable partner, willing to abandon its commitments. This could lead to a loss of trust and potentially destabilize alliances.

Moreover, an embargo would create internal divisions within the US administration. The US-Israel alliance transcends military cooperation; it's a longstanding bond rooted in shared values and strategic interests. Democrats and Republicans alike recognize the importance of this relationship, and imposing an embargo would exacerbate existing political tensions.

*Key Concerns:*

- *Undermining US Influence*: An embargo would weaken America's position in the Middle East ¹.
- *Israel's Self-Reliance*: Restrictions would accelerate Israel's defense industry growth, potentially reducing dependence on US arms.
- *Loss of Trust*: An embargo would send a disturbing message to other US allies, eroding trust and potentially destabilizing alliances .
- *Internal Divisions*: Imposing an embargo would exacerbate existing political tensions within the US administration.
