TBN Israel’s Mati Shoshani reports on the Israel-Hamas and regional war. The Middle East is in a moment of extreme tension as the United States appears to be moving closer to a decision on renewed military action against Iran. Mati Shoshani breaks down reports of intense U.S. Air Force movement across the region, major American military deployments, and President Trump’s warning that this may be “the calm before the storm.” The report details the Trump administration’s conditions for Iran, including no compensation payments, the transfer of enriched uranium, limits on nuclear facilities, no release of Iranian funds, and a ceasefire across all fronts tied to negotiations.
Meanwhile, Tehran is refusing to move from demands reportedly set by Mojtaba Khamenei, including compensation and recognition of Iran’s right to enrich uranium. Behind the scenes, reports say the United States is encouraging the United Arab Emirates to consider direct military moves against Iran, including the possible takeover of Lavan Island, located near the Iranian coast.
At the same time, the UAE is accelerating an oil-export bypass route through Fujairah as part of a broader effort to reduce dependence on the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards are now reportedly putting major technology companies and global infrastructure in their sights, raising concern about a possible “digital disaster.” Mati explains how the cyber front is becoming part of the wider confrontation between Iran, the United States, Israel, and the region. Israel continues dismantling Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon while the United States expresses concern over the slow implementation of U.N. Resolution 1701.
In Gaza, the IDF and Shin Bet announced the elimination of a top Hamas figure involved in the hostage-holding mechanism, while Hamas continues trying to buy time and rebuild.
