What will happen if a deal with Iran is not reached by the end of the ceasefire?

Trump:
“I don't want to comment on that, but it won't be pleasant for them, let me put it that way."

TRUMP:

“We can’t let a country blackmail or extort the world.

That’s what they’re doing — they’re really blackmailing the world.

We’re not going to let that happen.”

China's defence minister, Dong Jun, said Beijing was commited for peace and stability in the world and was "monitoring the situation in the Middle East."

"Our ships are moving in and out of the waters of the Strait of Hormuz. We have trade & energy agreements with Iran. We will respect & honour them and expect others not to meddle in our affairs. Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, and it is open for us."

The IDF and ISA struck a Hamas cell near the Yellow Line in central Gaza last week after they approached and posed an imminent threat to operating IDF forces.

Among those eliminated:
Yousef Ibrahim Mahmoud Basheti — a Hamas terrorist who fired anti-tank missiles at structures housing IDF soldiers and a securing tank, killing 21 soldiers in 2024. His elimination marks a significant step in accountability for one of the war’s deadliest attacks on IDF troops.


Also killed in the strike: a Nukhba terrorist, a Hamas military wing operative, a Hamas police officer, and three additional Hamas terrorists.

UK Prime minister Starmer on the economic impact of Hormuz:

"We hope the process will continue without further escalation. And that applies to the running saw that is the Strait of Hormuz, shamefully exploited by Iran."

"All of the leaders that I met were crystal clear that freedom of navigation is vital and must be restored, no conditions, no tolls and no tolerance of Iran holding the world's economy to ransom."

"Because, Mr. Speaker, the impact of Iran's behavior in the Strait is causing untold economic damage."

IDF:
In a precise drone strike: IDF soldiers from the Commando Brigade eliminated Hezbollah terrorists who were preparing attacks against IDF troops

IDF soldiers from the Commando Brigade are continuing targeted ground operations in southern Lebanon in order to strengthen the forward defensive posture and remove threats to Israeli civilians.

Yesterday (Sunday), IDF soldiers located and eliminated three armed terrorists using advanced surveillance equipment. The terrorists were identified en route to carry out an imminent attack against IDF troops and were subsequently eliminated in a precise aerial strike.

In an additional incident, IDF soldiers located a terrorist cell that was planning to attack IDF soldiers operating in the area using explosive drones. Shortly afterward, one of the terrorists was identified and eliminated in a precise IDF drone strike.

In addition, IDF soldiers identified a loaded launcher aimed at Israeli territory and destroyed it in a precise drone strike.


The IDF will continue to operate against the Hezbollah terrorist organization and will not allow any threat to Israeli civilians.

Netanyahu in the government:

• I spoke yesterday with Vice President Vance, who called me from his plane on the way back from Pakistan, and detailed the developments in the negotiations — in this case, the collapse of the talks.

• The collapse came from the American side, which could not tolerate the blatant violation of the agreement. The understanding was to stop the fire, and the Iranians would immediately open the straits. They did not do that.

• Vance also made it clear to me that the main issue from Trump’s perspective is the removal of all enriched material and ensuring that there will be no more enrichment in the coming years — possibly for decades — no enrichment inside Iran.

• We support Trump’s firm position to impose a naval blockade on the Iranians.

On May 26, 2000 - nearly 26 years ago - Hassan Nasrallah, then secretary-general of Hezbollah, delivered a famous speech from the soccer field in the southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil, where he claimed that Israel is as weak as a spider’s web and would soon collapse.

Since then, Nasrallah has been eliminated, the town’s soccer field is now in our hands - destroyed - and over a hundred terrorists have been ELIMINATED

A letter from the commander of Division 98 to his fighters currently operating in Bint Jbeil:

“Commanders and fighters - my brothers in arms. Bint Jbeil 2000: There was someone here in this soccer field (Nasrallah) who spoke and bragged about webs and spiders. Today, that man no longer exists, neither does the soccer field, and his words are worth nothing. Bint Jbeil 2026: Our forces control the area, destroying terror infrastructures and dozens of terrorists. Behind us are the residents of the north whom we protect, ahead of us are the national days that remind us why and what we are fighting for, with us - the best forces, with courage, abilities, determination, and strong spirit.

I trust you and am proud of you.
Keep moving forward with all your might!”

This Holocaust Remembrance Day, we keep the candle lit in memory of the over six million Jewish lives – infants, children, men, and women murdered at the hands of the Nazis during WWII.

Though gone, they’ll never be forgotten.

IDF:
98th Division troops surround Hezbollah military infrastructure and begin targeted ground operations in the Bint Jbeil area in Southern Lebanon


Soldiers from the Paratroopers, Commando, and Givati Brigades, under the command of the 98th Division, are expanding targeted ground operations against Hezbollah military infrastructure to strengthen the forward defense posture in southern Lebanon.

Over the past week, troops from the 98th Division have surrounded Hezbollah military infrastructure and begun targeted ground operations in the Bint Jbeil area.

The troops struck and eliminated more than 100 Hezbollah terrorist operatives, both in close-quarters combat and through aerial strikes, dismantled dozens of terrorist infrastructure sites, and located hundreds of weapons in the area, including weapons located in and around civilian infrastructure.

The IDF will continue to operate with determination against the Hezbollah terrorist organization in order to protect Israeli civilians and prevent further attacks against them.

"Iran is in very bad shape, very desperate, and just so you understand. Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. There is no way. They still want it, and they made that clear the other night.

Iran WILL NOT have a nuclear weapon."

Other nations are working, so that Iran will NOT be able to sell oil and that will be very effective.”

In an era where people expect decisive and rapid victories, we must understand that while things may change on the surface, they do so at their own pace.

As far as Israel is concerned, we can already identify significant achievements after more than 40 days of war:

1. Hormuz leverage:
Iran has burned its strongest strategic card for the next 50 years and lost its effective ability to threaten global trade routes.

2. Bypass pipelines: Activation of the Saudi oil pipeline and development of the port of Fujairah in the UAE as export routes no longer dependent on Tehran’s whims.
3. Energy infrastructure: A fatal blow to dependence on Gulf gas through the rapid approval of 11 gas plants in Texas and LNG facilities in the Gulf of Mexico — along with Trump’s call for the world to buy American oil and gas.

4. Nuclear renaissance: A major return by Europe and Asia (Japan and South Korea) to nuclear energy as a stable, strategic alternative to Iranian oil.
5. Hezbollah’s veto eroded: A shift toward direct engagement with the Lebanese government and army, bypassing Hezbollah as the sole power broker on the ground.

6. Isolation of the Muslim Brotherhood: A partial collapse of Qatar’s and Turkey’s influence in European capitals and in Washington.
7. Qatar’s bluff exposed: Qatar’s vulnerability revealed, as it was forced to pay off Iran to protect its gas facilities (Ras Laffan).

8. India–UAE axis: Strengthening of a strategic alliance shifting the economic center of gravity from Tehran to the New Delhi–Abu Dhabi–Haifa corridor.
9. Pressure on Pakistan: Pakistan has been pushed into a corner, facing demands to repay billions in debt from Saudi Arabia and the UAE following its support for Iran.

10. Pentagon alignment: An unprecedented level of cooperation between the IDF and the U.S. defense establishment, forming a long-term strategic asset.
11. Regional energy independence: Use of Israeli gas fields (Leviathan and Karish) as leverage to stabilize the regimes in Egypt and Jordan under Iranian pressure.

12. Technological deterrence: Demonstration of Israeli intelligence superiority in penetrating and conducting precision operations in Iran’s most secure locations.
13. Improved strategic landscape: A new security reality in which Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah are significantly weaker than they were on the eve of the war.

President Trump:

Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. He talks about “fear” of the Trump Administration, but doesn’t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart.


I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn’t! I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon.

I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and killers, into our Country. And I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History.

Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise. He wasn’t on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump. If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican. Unfortunately, Leo’s Weak on Crime, Weak on Nuclear Weapons, does not sit well with me, nor does the fact that he meets with Obama Sympathizers like David Axelrod, a LOSER from the Left, who is one of those who wanted churchgoers and clerics to be arrested.

Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician. It’s hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it’s hurting the Catholic Church!
