TBN IsraelTBN Israel’s Yair Pinto and Mati Shoshani reports on the Israel-Iran and regional war.
IRAN: The Strait of Hormuz is closed again, with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards declaring that the waterway is back under “tight control of the military forces.” The report says ships have already turned back, live fire was reported at merchant vessels, and Tehran is still refusing to give ground on enriched uranium while threatening President Trump and signaling that the negotiations could collapse at any moment.
HORMUZ / GLOBAL ECONOMY: This is no longer just a regional military standoff. Yair and Mati break down how Iran is using Hormuz as a strategic pressure lever, how the Revolutionary Guards’ “mosquito fleet” still threatens one of the world’s most sensitive energy arteries, and why any disruption there could hit oil prices, shipping routes, and global trade immediately. The report also warns that Iran is threatening pressure around Bab el-Mandeb, opening another danger point for world supply chains.
DIPLOMACY / U.S. RESPONSE: Mediators are signaling no optimism, the uranium dispute remains unresolved, and the missile program is still a major sticking point. The report says Washington is preparing maritime escalation options, including boarding and seizing Iranian-linked ships, while President Trump warns the fighting could resume if no agreement is reached. At the same time, Israel is watching closely and preparing for the possibility that the ceasefire framework could collapse all at once.
LEBANON / NORTH: In Lebanon, Hezbollah is openly threatening the Lebanese state while issuing demands for a full ceasefire, Israeli withdrawal, prisoner releases, and reconstruction. Meanwhile, the fighting in southern Lebanon continues despite the ceasefire violations, with IDF strikes against immediate threats, a Hezbollah tunnel shaft uncovered, and deadly incidents involving explosives left behind in the field. The north is quieter than before—but it is not calm.
REGION / STOCKPILES: The report also highlights growing strain on U.S. resources, with American weapons deliveries to Europe reportedly delayed because systems and munitions are being redirected to the Middle East. Updated intelligence assessments cited in the report say Iran still retains a significant portion of its launchers and drones, making time itself one of the central battlegrounds in this crisis.
