‼️ TRUMP CONSIDERS EXITING IRAN TALKS AFTER MARITIME INCIDENTS AS NEGOTIATIONS SHIFT TO OMAN, ISRAEL WARNS OF POWERFUL RETALIATION AND INTELLIGENCE SIGNALS HEZBOLLAH AND HOUTHI PREPARATIONS

⚠️ U.S. Considers Withdrawal While Talks Continue: U.S. officials told The Wall Street Journal that President Trump considered withdrawing from negotiations due to Iran’s aggressive actions, including maritime incidents. 

The Friday meeting between Iran and the United States remains scheduled, though details and the venue are still being discussed.

🔸 Talks Expected to Move to Oman: An Iranian diplomatic source told Al Jazeera that Muscat is likely to host the upcoming talks instead of Turkey.

"[Omani capital] Muscat is likely to host the upcoming talks with Washington, rather than Turkey. We thank the countries of the region for their efforts to find a solution to the dispute between Tehran and Washington and to reduce tensions".

The Trump administration reportedly agreed to an Iranian request to relocate the talks to Oman on Friday. Discussions are still ongoing over whether Arab and Muslim countries from the region will participate in the talks in Oman.

🔸 Regional Source Warns of “Last Chance” Diplomacy: A Middle Eastern source said negotiations could be Iran’s final opportunity for diplomacy before potential strikes. The source added, “Striking Iran is a lose-lose for all.”

🚫 A U.S. official said the IRGC canceled a live-fire exercise planned for Sunday and Monday in the Strait of Hormuz after a warning from the U.S. military.

‼️ Israel Briefs Witkoff, Warns of Unusually Powerful Retaliation: Sources familiar with the meeting between U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Prime Minister Netanyahu, and Israel’s security establishment said it was conducted in an extremely positive and productive atmosphere. The meeting included a thorough intelligence briefing led by IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir.

Israeli officials warned in the meeting that Iran has no intention of compromising on its nuclear ambitions and that negotiations are being used to buy time and stop an attack. Zamir said that any strike against Israel would be met with an immediate and unusually powerful response, including strikes against unexpected targets.

‼️ The IDF Northern Command assesses that if the United States attacks Iran, Hezbollah will join the war.

⚠️ Intelligence Warns of Houthi Preparations to Resume Attacks on U.S. Ships: Intelligence passed to Washington warns the Iran-backed Houthis are preparing to resume attacks on U.S. ships in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea. Yemeni sources say the Houthis are relocating missile and drone depots and holding intensive military discussions, reportedly in preparation for possible strikes on U.S. vessels as Iran ramps up threats through its terror proxies.

Notably, the Houthis have avoided attacking U.S. ships since a May agreement brokered by Oman following months of American strikes.

THE IRAN–U.S. CONFRONTATION WON’T START IN IRAN — AND ISRAEL MAY FACE STRONG INCENTIVES TO MOVE FIRST

  The coming confrontation between Iran and the United States is often framed as a binary moment: Washington acts or holds back; Tehran retaliates or absorbs the pressure. This framing is simple, accessible, and largely misleading. If escalation occurs, it is unlikely to unfold as a conventional state-to-state conflict, and it is unlikely to begin where many observers expect. Instead, escalation would most likely emerge as a system-level event—an activation of Iran’s regional proxy architecture—designed to distribute risk, externalize damage, and preserve regime survival. Within that system, Israel is not a peripheral actor but a forward pressure point where consequences are most likely to manifest first. As the region moved into late December and early January, intelligence indicators suggested that Israel was preparing for a significant military campaign in southern Lebanon, extending south of the Litani River and potentially beyond it. According to this assessment, the campaign ...

🚨 SHABBAT EMERGENCY ALERT GUIDANCE FOR LONG-RANGE MISSILE THREATS TO ISRAEL

🪖 IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said there are no changes to the Home Front Command’s instructions for the Israeli public, despite ongoing tensions with Iran. “Ahead of the Sabbath, I want to say to all citizens of Israel: the IDF is optimally prepared, both defensively and offensively. It is important to emphasize that there is no change to the Home Front Command’s instructions. We will ensure to update you if there is any change,” he said. 🛡️ Home Front Command status: Home Front Command instructions remain unchanged at this time as noted. In long-range missile scenarios originating from Yemen or Iran, missiles travel roughly 1,600–2,000 kilometers, and early alerts may be issued several minutes before impact, ahead of the standard red alert siren. ⏱️ Warning time differences: Unlike short-range rocket fire from Gaza or Lebanon, where red alerts typically provide about 15 seconds to 1.5 minutes to reach shelter, long-range missile threats involve earlier notific...

‼️ U.S. naval and air posture near Iran: The USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group has moved into the eastern Arabian Sea and is preparing to enter the Gulf of Oman, placing U.S. naval airpower within direct strike range of Iran.
