Trump: The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is another historic achievement for the U.S. Navy.

Donald Trump, on the occasion of the 251st anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Navy, wrote:

"Happy birthday to the United States Navy! Now, 251 years of its past and present victories. The work that the U.S. Navy has done in creating an "impenetrable steel wall" in the Strait of Hormuz – sometimes referred to as a blockade – is another historic achievement; one of the many achievements of this force.

Happy birthday to the U.S. Navy!"

Donald Trump on the Houthis:
The Houthis' behavior is very inappropriate. I thought they had learned a lesson a year ago, when we heavily bombed their positions and stopped the operation at their request.

They were quiet for a long time, but now they have reappeared; probably at the behest of Iran, a failed country with zero navy, zero air force, the worst economy in the world, and 301% inflation. They are targeting Saudi Arabia in a very offensive way, and they are deliberately trying to raise oil prices, probably before the US elections; this is not good at all.

Israeli Defense Minister, Katz:

We are identifying efforts by our enemies, led by Iran and its proxies, to carry out terrorist attacks that could influence the outcome of the elections in Israel.

We inform our enemies: Anyone who attacks us, whether before or after the elections, will be punished and will face the most severe consequences.

Prime Minister Netanyahu in the "Patriots" program: "I am concerned, we are in a tie, and this competition is very close - we can only determine this if people participate in the vote."

Benjamin Netanyahu gave an interview tonight on the "Patriots" program, which aired on Channel 14, referring to the upcoming elections. He emphasized the importance of participating in the vote and warned against right-wing voters staying home. Netanyahu said, "I am concerned, we are in a tie, and this competition is very close. We can only determine this if people participate in the vote." According to him, the outcome is not certain, and the level of participation on election day will be decisive.

Trump: Wait and see what we will do with Iran.

We will do a great job. Just wait and see... We can no longer tolerate this situation.

Netanyahu on Iran:

Look, this is a fanatical and extremist regime.
As long as it exists, it will try to rebuild itself.
It wants to restart its nuclear program.
It will again try to destroy us, and it will also try to rebuild Hezbollah and Hamas.
To eliminate this entire structure, we must overthrow this regime.

Israel's Defense Minister, Katz, stated in Lebanon:

"If Hezbollah joins Iran and participates in an attack on Israel, it will suffer a severe blow and lose more areas in southern Lebanon, within the vicinity of Nabatiyeh and the Litani River. These areas will become part of Israel's permanent security zone.


The Israeli army is prepared to carry out ground operations.


Furthermore, the Dahieh region in Beirut will be evacuated, and terrorist infrastructure there will be targeted, resulting in the displacement of over a million Shia Muslims in Lebanon."

Trump on Iran: "I don't even know who I should be siding with."

Trump:
If the sponsors of terrorism (the leaders of Iran) acquired nuclear weapons, they would first destroy the Middle East, then Europe, and then the western coasts of America.

Host: Is a change of regime in Iran before the Israeli elections a realistic possibility?

Prime Minister Netanyahu: No, I don't think that's a realistic possibility.

Prime Minister Netanyahu on Iran: "I say that the overthrow of this regime is essential.

We have taken many actions; we have weakened it. This regime is now in its weakest position in all its history.

But we must finish the job."

President Trump on Iran:

They asked me not to eliminate any more Iranian leaders. I promised them.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

I have dedicated my entire life to this (overthrowing the Iranian regime).
I have appeared on countless popular American television programs.

Israeli Military and Shin Bet: We have neutralized two terrorists involved in smuggling weapons and military equipment to the Gaza Strip.

Yesterday, the Israeli military and Shin Bet conducted an operation in the Khan Yunis area in southern Gaza, targeting two terrorists, Asil Nabil Abdel Rahman Qashta and Ahmed Raja Al-Shair. They were neutralized during the operation. These individuals were involved in the smuggling of weapons and military equipment to the Gaza Strip.
As part of their activities, these individuals were responsible for buying and selling weapons, and also facilitated the smuggling of weapons to the Gaza Strip.
Prior to the operation, measures were taken to minimize harm to civilians, including the use of precision weapons and aerial surveillance.

Netanyahu:
I stopped a Syrian attack, preventing the killing of the Syrian President.

Prime Minister Netanyahu discusses preventing a Syrian army attack on Druze in southern Syria during a massacre carried out by Golan forces:

We targeted the Ministry of Defense building in Damascus. We hit a target inside the palace grounds in Damascus.

I spoke with Mr. [Name of person] (likely Ahmed al-Sharaa). It was a short and very serious conversation. And the massacre of the Druze stopped.
