TBN IsraelTBN Israel’s Yair Pinto reports on the Israel-Iran and regional war.
Thirty Hezbollah terrorists are trapped inside an underground tunnel system in southern Lebanon as the IDF encircles a Hezbollah headquarters on the Ali Taher Ridge near Tibnit. Hezbollah is trying to stop the IDF from closing in, using mortar fire, high-trajectory launches, and drones against Israeli forces. According to the report, Hezbollah launched more than 50 attacks toward IDF troops in a blatant violation of the ceasefire.
Israel struck back across southern Lebanon, hitting terror infrastructure, rocket-launching positions, weapons warehouses, and Hezbollah headquarters. Over the past two days, the IDF struck 300 terror targets and eliminated about 100 terrorists. But after Iran threatened over the fighting in Lebanon, the United States pressured Israel, and the IDF received orders to hold fire while remaining in place.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards announced that they no longer see themselves committed to the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, claiming that Israel’s strikes in Lebanon justify closing the route to ships connected to Israel and its supporters. CENTCOM rejected the Iranian claims and said tracking data still shows merchant ships moving through the strait with millions of barrels of oil headed toward global markets.
Direct talks between the United States and Iran are taking place in Switzerland, with Vice President J.D. Vance involved in the diplomatic push. The dispute over Hormuz, Lebanon, sanctions, and Iran’s nuclear future remains at the center of the negotiations. Pakistan is also working to advance the memorandum of understanding.
According to the proposed plan, Iran may initially receive access to $6 billion currently held in Qatar for humanitarian purchases such as food and medicine. That money is part of roughly $100 billion in Iranian funds frozen around the world. Yair and Mati ask the key question: who inside Tehran will really profit if sanctions are lifted — the Iranian people, or the Revolutionary Guards?
Secret documents connected to Khamenei were read live on air, exposing the rift at the top of Iran’s power structure and showing how the Revolutionary Guards could become the biggest winners of a fast agreement. The report examines whether Iran is using Hezbollah, Hormuz, and frozen money to force the world into a dangerous deal.
Is this a ceasefire — or only a pause before the next explosion? Israel says it will continue operating against Hezbollah violations, Iran is trying to connect Lebanon to the Hormuz crisis, and Washington is trying to save a deal that may give Tehran immediate relief while postponing the real nuclear questions.
