⚔️ IDF NEARS COMPLETION OF STRIKES ON IRAN’S MILITARY INDUSTRY AS U.S. SIGNALS DECISIVE PHASE AND GROUND OPTION, NETANYAHU PUSHES REGIONAL ALIGNMENT AND HORMUZ CONTROL, TRUMP URGES GLOBAL SELF-ACTION ON ENERGY SECURITY
🚨 IDF STRIKES ON IRANIAN MILITARY INDUSTRY NEAR COMPLETION: The IDF says the Israeli Air Force will complete targeting all of Iran's “critical assets” tied to military production industries by tomorrow.
U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth: "The coming days will be decisive, and Iran knows that. There is almost nothing they can do militarily about it".
U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth: "Our adversary thinks there are 15 different ways we can come at them with boots on the ground, and guess what? There are. We could execute them if we needed to, but maybe we won't have to use them at all. The point is to be unpredictable".
🇮🇱 NETANYAHU OUTLINES REGIONAL ALIGNMENT AND STRAIT OF HORMUZ GOALS: Netanyahu says Arab states now understand the threat Iran poses and are discussing fighting alongside Israel.
Netanyahu: "We are forming alliances with Arab countries that are talking about fighting alongside us. In the past, I had secret conversations with Arab leaders. I told them — the moment Iran is able to, they will conquer you and topple your kingdoms. Back then, they didn't really internalize this — today, they understand".
Netanyahu: "We must seize control of the Strait of Hormuz from Iran".
Netanyahu: "The US is threatening to deal with the Strait of Hormuz issue by force — I hope it succeeds. Iran must be stripped of this leverage. After the war, this needs to be bypassed through pipelines from Saudi Arabia to the Mediterranean".
🇺🇸 TRUMP CALLS ON OTHER COUNTRIES TO ACT ON HORMUZ AND FUEL SUPPLY: President Trump says countries affected by fuel shortages should secure access themselves rather than rely on the United States.
Trump: “Countries facing fuel shortages should go and secure their own oil. The United States will not be there to help, just as you were not there to help us.”
On the Strait of Hormuz, Trump says countries must take responsibility: “They are going to have to come in and do their own work. There is no real threat in the Strait of Hormuz. Let them come and take it like they are supposed to.”
Trump told the New York Post he believes the war with Iran will end soon and that countries relying on the Strait of Hormuz should reopen it themselves.
He added: “We have destroyed Iran, it no longer has any power, and countries that rely on the Strait of Hormuz should go and reopen it themselves.”
Trump also said countries unable to obtain jet fuel due to the situation, such as Britain, should purchase it from the United States.
Trump: “We are completely destroying Iran, but we still have more work to do to stop their attacks.”
