The Iranian English-language channel PRESSTV: The US and Israel violated the ceasefire and attacked the refinery on Lavan Island

IDF: We carried out the largest attack in Lebanon since the beginning of the operation | Within 10 minutes and in several areas simultaneously - the IDF completed a strike against about 100 Hezbollah command centers and military infrastructures.

Iran continues to block the Strait of Hormuz - and the Iranian navy announced today to the ships anchored in the strait that they must obtain approval from the Revolutionary Guards navy to pass, in full coordination. "A ship that passes without approval will be destroyed," is heard in a recording passed by one of the crews on site to The Wall Street Journal

Senior Iranian official to Reuters: We may open the Strait of Hormuz tomorrow or Friday ahead of talks in Pakistan. Even then, the opening will be limited and subject to coordination of all ships with Iran's security forces.

Airstrikes have reportedly targeted the Lavan Oil Refinery in Iran, as the ceasefire is seemingly in effect in name only.

Defense Minister Israel Katz called the surprise strike on headquarters across Lebanon "the largest concentrated blow Hezbollah has suffered since the operation." "Naim Qassem did not understand what Nasrallah understood in his last moments," Katz said. "The Israel after October 7 is not the same Israel of the past and will not tolerate any threat or harm to its citizens - neither from Iran nor from Lebanon. Qassem's personal turn will also come."

IDF Arabic spokesperson reveals: "Hezbollah is leaving the terrorist strongholds in Dahieh - recently the IDF identified that Hezbollah began leaving the Shiite strongholds in Dahieh and moving to northern Beirut and to the mixed and Christian areas. Following IDF activity in the area, Hezbollah understood that the terrorist stronghold it established is no longer a safe place for it, and therefore began relocating"
