An Iranian source told the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, which is affiliated with Hezbollah, this morning: Tehran informed the Pakistani mediator that the clause related to Lebanon is non-negotiable. In response, the Pakistani mediator conveyed an American position stating that direct negotiations between Lebanon and Israel would quickly achieve this goal, and that Washington does not want the Lebanese issue included in talks with Iran.

Britain is preparing to send military divers and mine clearance teams in case they are required to operate in the Strait of Hormuz.

According to the British Ministry of Defence, Royal Navy experts and unmanned systems have been put on alert, and Britain is also expected to contribute autonomous systems for mine detection as part of an international effort to secure the shipping route.

According to the report, the move is also intended to show Washington that Britain is ready to make a significant contribution to securing the passage, after having been criticized by Trump for not participating in offensive operations during the war with Iran.

Trump woke up - and with him the daily threats

The president shares the words of commentator Mark Tissen: "If there are two factions in Iran, one that wants an agreement and one that doesn't, let's kill those who don't want it"

Defense Minister Katz: "Israel is prepared for the renewal of war against Iran. The IDF is prepared in defense and offense, and the targets are marked. Waiting for the green light from the USA."

The Defense Minister at the end of the situation assessment: "We want to complete the elimination of the Khamenei dynasty. This time the attack will be different and deadly and will add devastating blows in the most painful places - shaking and cracking its foundations. We will return Iran to the dark age and stone by blowing up the central energy and electricity facilities and crushing the national economic infrastructures."

Trump on the Truth network: "I have all the time in the world, and Iran does not - the clock is ticking. Time is not on their side. We will reach an agreement only when it is suitable and good for the US and its allies"

Chairman of the Iranian Parliament Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf:

"In Iran, there are no extremists and no moderates - we are all Iranians and 'revolutionaries.' In the iron unity of the people and the government, and full obedience to the Supreme Leader, we will make the criminal aggressor regret his actions. One leader, one nation, one way - and it is the path to victory for Iran, which is dearer to us than life."

Hezbollah takes responsibility for 5 actions against IDF forces so far this morning.

A short while ago, a red alert siren was activated in the moshav Shtula in the north - IDF spokesperson announces that several launches were identified from Lebanese territory into Israeli territory. The Air Force intercepted the launches.

Simultaneously, reports of several IDF attacks in southern Lebanon.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump has said that during today’s meeting with Israeli and Lebanese officials it was decided that the ceasefire (not to be confused with the U.S.-Iran ceasefire) will be extended for 3 weeks. President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, and Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Issa met with Israeli and Lebanese officials during today’s meeting, the last day before the ceasefire in Lebanon was set to expire.

Additionally, the president said that he looks to host both Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun at the White House in the near future. A meeting that would be the first in decades.

However, it should be noted that mere minutes before the meeting’s start, both Lebanese Hezbollah and Israel exchanged strikes.

The IDF attacked two loaded and ready-to-launch launchers and eliminated three terrorists who tried to harm IDF forces in southern Lebanon
