The United States has not confirmed the number of mines laid by Iran, though a Whitehouse official confirmed to CNBC earlier this month that more than 40 minelaying vessels had been destroyed.

The report adds that despite a push for a ceasefire and a new de-confliction concept in Lebanon, “it is estimated that Washington is using various tools simultaneously to try to disarm Hezbollah.”

The US Southern Command said that no US military forces were harmed. It described those killed as "male narco-terrorists," without offering details.

Three years and two days ago, Israel went to war for its very survival. This was not merely a war against Hamas. It was a war orchestrated by a sophisticated octopus whose head sits in Tehran.

A war that began with direct Israeli stakes is now being concluded through a framework shaped largely by Washington, Tehran, and Islamabad.

A poll published by Channel 12 last Thursday showed that 71% of Israelis do not trust Trump to look out for them in the Iran deal. 

Trump weighed in on Starmer’s future in a Truth Social post, saying the UK PM “failed badly,” but UK officials say he remains committed to carrying out his duties.

Trump is doing what no other US president would.

As Israel expands operations in southern Lebanon, debate is growing inside the defense establishment over whether battlefield gains are translating into any real strategic shift.
