“The United States to Blockade Ships Entering or Exiting Iranian Ports on April 13 at 10:00 A.M. ET. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT.”

IDF general: “25 years ago, Hezbollah’s leader stood here and called Israel a cobweb. Today, that man is gone, his compound is gone, and his words are worth nothing.”

Military raises readiness after failed talks — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had already warned in a televised address of further confrontation.

Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir say operations will continue at full force, with Israel seeking to deepen battlefield gains and restore long-term security to the north.

“That’s bad news for Iran much more than it’s bad news for the United States of America,” the vice president said.

The Lebanese Shi’ite terrorist organization is being forced to choose between facing Israel alone and giving up its objectives. Meanwhile, distrust of America is deepening in the Gulf.

International condemnation of US-Israel action reveals selective legal reasoning, political bias and a failure to confront Tehran’s ongoing violations and threats.

Netanyahu says direct negotiations with Lebanon will begin soon, even as Israel makes clear the Iran ceasefire does not shield Hezbollah from further strikes.

A familiar dilemma exists: to reoccupy Southern Lebanon, which might push Hezbollah north of the Litani River. But that doesn’t remove the terror group’s long-range capabilities or prevent its rebuilding.
