Israel’s Security Cabinet discusses Trump’s reluctance, major gaps in the negotiations, and concern over billions for Tehran.

Trump calls the counterstrikes a “small slap” — but the ceasefire is on the brink as 1,500 ships remain trapped in the Persian Gulf.

IDF and security agencies are prepared for any scenario, says the Israeli prime minister.

Even if Tehran signs a temporary agreement, Israel still faces Hezbollah, Hamas and an Iranian regime determined to survive.

There has been a clear decline in the sense that Israel is winning the war.

The contest becomes less about immediate outcomes and more about endurance.

“Our fighter either wins or is martyred,” said the IRGC spokesman. “Martyrdom is happiness for him. In such a situation, our forces do not falter.”

Wendy Sherman and her foreign-policy team decided that nuclear restrictions alone were worth the price of releasing $150 billion and legitimizing the Iranian regime as a threshold nuclear state.

Washington says a 14-point framework to end the war is nearing completion, but Trump is making clear that Tehran’s delay will come at a price.
