- Prepared for an immediate strike if necessary

- The Americans want a clean, swift, and inexpensive operation

- The objective - focus on those who harmed civilians and protesters

- Ready to replace the regime in Iran

President Donald J. Trump has received multiple intelligence reports indicating that the Iranian government’s position is weakening, possibly being at its weakest point since the Shah was overthrown during the 1979 Islamic Revolution, according to several people familiar with the information who spoke to the New York Times.

The IDF eliminated terrorists from the Hezbollah terrorist organization who were working to restore an underground site in southern Lebanon

The IDF attacked and eliminated yesterday (Monday) terrorists from the Hezbollah terrorist organization while they were operating at an underground site of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in the Nabatieh area in southern Lebanon.

The activity of Hezbollah terrorists to restore the site constitutes a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon and a threat to the State of Israel.

The IDF will continue to act to remove any threat to the State of Israel.

Trump about Iran:

Right now, a beautiful fleet is moving beautifully towards Iran, so we will see.

I hope they reach an agreement. I hope they reach an agreement.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday on a press conference. We will build an independent arms industry. Many soldiers died because of Bidens weapon emmargo:

We paid a heavy price in the war, many fell because Gaza was booby-trapped and we lacked enough ammunition, partly due to an embargo.

I decided this must never happen again. Israel must build a strong, independent arms industry.

Just as we freed ourselves from American economic aid and strengthened our economy, we must now reach security maturity.

Within a decade, I intend to end dependence on the financial part of U.S. military aid and move from aid to partnership.

We will pursue joint development and production of advanced weapons with the U.S. and other partners like India and Germany. This will ensure independence, steady supply, and stronger alliances.

Our goal is simple: never lack weapons again.
