CBN NewsJERUSALEM, Israel – A tense quiet hovers over the Middle East after trouble between the U.S. and Iran spiked over the weekend, less than ten days after the two countries signed the Memorandum of Understanding outlining talks. Meanwhile, Israel and Lebanon signed an agreement heading for peace, but the Iranian-backed Hezbollah doesn’t want that to happen.
U.S. CENTCOM released footage of its strikes on Iranian missile storage facilities, coastal radar installations, and minelayer capabilities following an Iranian drone strike on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
Later, Iran attacked a second commercial ship and U.S. interests in Kuwait and Bahrain. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz cautioned on Fox News Sunday, “If the Iranian regime thinks for a second that President Trump is going to sit by, stand by, while Iran continues to attack international shipping without a response, or our bases without a response, they’re sadly mistaken and they saw that loud and clear over the past few nights, where we’ll continue, militarily if needed, to down their infrastructure that they’re trying to use to illegally control an international waterway.”
