TBN IsraelTBN Israel’s Yair Pinto Mati Shoshani reports on the Israel-Hamas and regional war. s the war returning to active mode? Yair Pinto and Mati Shoshani report on Iran’s first response to Trump’s renewed threats, as the Revolutionary Guards hold a military exercise in Tehran and Iran announces preparations for a broader operational zone around the Strait of Hormuz. Israeli officials assess that the dead end in negotiations and Tehran’s defiant position could bring the Trump administration closer to renewed targeted strikes against strategic sites in Iran. Iran is trying to stretch the borders of the global energy artery.
A senior Revolutionary Guards naval official announced that Tehran has dramatically expanded its operational definition of the Strait of Hormuz, turning it from a narrow shipping lane into a much wider area of activity. Trump also escalated his warning against Iranian speedboats, writing: “Bye bye speedboats.” Kuwaiti authorities accused the Iranian Revolutionary Guards of sending six armed men by fishing boat to infiltrate Bubiyan Island and carry out hostile actions.
According to Kuwait, four were arrested, two escaped, and one Kuwaiti security force member was wounded in an exchange of fire. The incident raises a major question: if the ceasefire still exists, why are the Revolutionary Guards acting like the next round is already being prepared?
The moderate regional front against Iran appears to be tightening. Israel reportedly sent advanced air-defense systems and teams to the United Arab Emirates with American backing, Qatar warned Iran against using Hormuz as a tool of extortion against Gulf states, and reports say Saudi Arabia also struck inside Iran during the war.
Meanwhile, Israel is preparing for the possibility of expanding ground activity in southern Lebanon after IDF forces crossed the Litani River for the first time in more than two and a half years. The fight against the Hezbollah terrorist organization may be entering a new stage. Golani Reconnaissance Unit and Egoz fighters, together with engineering and armored forces, achieved operational control in the area and established crossings as part of preparations for expanded activity.
Yair and Mati examine whether pressure on Iran, Hezbollah, and the wider axis is now converging into one strategic window. Spread the truth—like, share, and subscribe so you never miss an episode.
