TBN IsraelTBN Israel’s Yair Pinto and Mati Shoshani reports on the Israel-Hamas and regional war. President Donald Trump announced “Project Liberty,” an American operation to rescue ships stuck in the Strait of Hormuz. The move is being presented as a humanitarian mission for crews facing shortages at sea, while also creating a new maritime order under American leadership and keeping pressure on Iran.
CENTCOM said the military support for the project will include guided-missile destroyers, more than 100 land-based and sea-based aircraft, multidomain unmanned platforms, and 15,000 service members. Trump warned that any interference with the operation would be met with “great force.” Tehran says any American intervention in the Strait of Hormuz will be considered a violation of the ceasefire. Iranian officials dismissed Trump’s move and warned that American aircraft carriers could become a “graveyard in the heart of the sea,” as negotiations between Washington and Tehran remain stuck.
Lebanon is escalating its steps against Iran and Hezbollah. Beirut is moving to require advance visas for Iranian citizens, ban Revolutionary Guards activity in the country, and arrest or expel those acting on their behalf, as Lebanon tries to distance itself from the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorist organization.
The report also covers Trump’s rejection of Iran’s proposal, the appointment of a tougher negotiating team, reports about American weapons reaching anti-regime protesters through Kurdish forces, and growing concerns in Europe after reports that the U.S. canceled plans for long-range missiles in Germany.
