The new billboard hanging in Valiysar Square in Tehran - after the death of Senator Lindsey Graham "Who's next"🤮🤡

🇮🇱 Israeli Minister of Defense: We will not withdraw from Lebanon, Syria, or Gaza.

Iran declared the Strait of Hormuz an inviolable "red line" on Thursday, warning that any U.S. strikes on Iranian infrastructure, including the power plants and bridges President Donald J. Trump has threatened to target, would trigger retaliatory strikes against critical infrastructure across the Gulf region.

The warning comes after four consecutive days of strikes against Iranian military targets and has reimposed a naval blockade of Iranian ports, with Washington stating the objective is to restore freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz following repeated Iranian attacks on commercial shipping.

Iranian officials maintained that control of the Strait is not dependent on coastal bases or islands, insisting Tehran retains the ability to control the waterway from across its territory. They also reiterated that reopening the Strait requires U.S. compliance with the previously signed memorandum of understanding and acceptance of Iranian regulations governing vessel transits.

The rhetoric comes amid a rapidly widening regional conflict, with Iran launching missile and drone attacks against U.S. forces and partners in Kuwait, Jordan, and Bahrain, while analysts continue to warn that Tehran could also seek to pressure global trade by expanding the confrontation to the Bab al-Mandeb Strait through its Houthi allies in Yemen.

The new South America – no longer hostile to Israel:
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar met last night in Washington with the foreign ministers of Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia – all governments friendly to Israel.

All that’s missing is a change of government in Brazil this coming October. Fingers crossed.

The Democratic Senator, John Fetterman:

“If our party ever becomes—and simply, officially—an anti-Israel party, that will be the moment when I leave it.”

Carolyn Levit, spokesperson for the White House:

Trump knows that our military never attacks civilians or children.

Iran is known for killing women, children, and innocent people.

You should focus on this issue.

White House Spokesperson on Iran: Trump and J.D. Vance are currently in complete agreement regarding Iran.

White House: Iran is still in talks with the United States and expresses its desire to reach an agreement with us, because it is suffering devastating blows.

i24 Israel Channel:

It appears that the U.S. government intends to expand the scope of its attacks on Iran, both in terms of the extent of the attacks and the number of targets. It is not yet clear when this will happen.

Meanwhile, Iranian officials have also publicly warned that if the U.S. escalates its attacks, they will expand the scope of their own attacks.

Currently: Estimates suggest that as long as the U.S. does not take further steps in its attacks, Iran will refrain from attacking Israel.

CENTCOM announces that a new wave of attacks against Iran has begun.
