Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi and Trump envoy Steve Whitkoff are also currently in contact via text messages, according to a source familiar with the details. Araghchi sent Whitkoff messages regarding the need to end the war

Head of Military Intelligence to the political echelon in a discussion: "The Iranians reveal how bare their command structure is. They fire what they manage to fire, there is no ammunition economy. They simply can't do more than that"

We will never use our nuclear weapons while we are already winning the war. In 1967, we didn’t use it, so we definitely won't use it now.

The IDF announced that it attacked the Navy headquarters of the Revolutionary Guards in eastern Tehran, in an effort to prevent further actions by the Revolutionary Guards in the Strait of Hormuz.

President Trump on Iran:

If you believe Iran should have nuclear weapons, then something is wrong with you, because they will use it.

The only question is whether they will use it within an hour of receiving it or within a day.

They will blow up the entire Middle East, not just Israel.

Pressure on the militias in Iraq is increasing: report of six killed in a US army airstrike on a building in Baghdad

Am I dreaming? 🤔

Reuters report: Gulf countries are pressuring Trump to continue the attacks on Iran and even to increase the pressure. Why is this important? Because it contradicts the assessment that if Iran continues to attack the Gulf countries, they will try to force Trump to end the war and return to routine. The main concern in the Gulf, as the report indicates, is that the war will end and Iran will remain with the military capability to continue threatening them in the future, and the main demand now from Trump is to damage Tehran's military capability and its ability to rebuild itself

Trump to Mike Johnson: I will send you information about the countries that do not help us so you can check why we are giving them money.

Good riddance

Defense Minister Israel Katz updated: "Ali Larijani and Basij commander were eliminated last night and joined the head of the extermination plan Khamenei and all the villains of the axis of evil in the depths of hell"

Fighting together also in public diplomacy - Secretary of State Rubio calls in a telegram to American diplomats around the world:

"Coordinate public diplomacy efforts with Israeli diplomats, and pressure foreign governments to act quickly to reduce the capabilities of Iran and terror groups associated with it to attack our countries and citizens. This is against the backdrop of an increased risk of their attack."

The Chief of Staff confirms:

"The IDF continues to operate forcefully against a series of targets in Iran. Alongside the ongoing damage and erosion of military capabilities and industrial production capacities, we are acting against the Revolutionary Guards and the regime's repression forces. Significant preventive achievements with the potential to impact the campaign's outcomes and IDF missions were also recorded last night.

This is in addition to the preventions carried out in recent days in Iran against foreign elements, also related to the Palestinian arena. Among other things, senior officials involved in terror activities from Gaza and Judea and Samaria, who were hiding in a safe house, were thwarted in Tehran. The campaign against Hezbollah and the removal of threats from northern settlements continues to be another central arena of activity. We continue to concentrate forces and expand ground operations."
