BREAKING: Iran DRONES Hit Ships; U.S. Strikes; Hezbollah Vows Civil War | TBN Israel

Iran is actively trying to establish a new traffic regime in the Strait of Hormuz, demanding approval for passage and potentially fees. This involves launching drone attacks on civilian vessels, like the M/V Ever Evoli and the oil tanker Kiko, that do not adhere to Iranian-imposed routes. Bahrain also reported Iranian drone attacks on its territory.

The Iranians are playing games... Iranian launched four drones towards this ship... one hit the ship." [00:02:21], "Iran is telling the world this is not a free a free international passage. This is a passage that is under our finger." [00:03:51], "Iran is not satisfied with the threat. It is trying to create a new traffic regime in Hormuz. Iranian routes, Iranian approvals, Iranian warning file and later perhaps also payment or insurance according to Iranian terms." [00:05:21], "Maritime insurance premiums for vessels passing through homes rose by about 20% within one day. The price of brand crude oil initially jumped by about 3%." [00:29:10]

In response to Iran's attacks on shipping, the United States conducted targeted strikes on Iranian military infrastructure. These strikes focused on missile warehouses, drone storage facilities, coastal radar stations, and command infrastructure along Iran's southern coast, specifically targeting the systems enabling Iran to threaten maritime traffic.

The United States struck targets inside Iran. Sentcom announced that the United States military struck Iranian targets connected to the missiles and the drone array of the revolutionary guards." [00:04:16], "The strikes focused on missile warehouses, drone storage facilities, coastal radar stations, and command infrastructure along Zan's southern coast." [00:04:30], "This was not an attempt to bring down the regime. It was a precise operational message. If Iran tries to turn her moose into a checkpoint of payments... the United States will strike the tools that allow it to do that." [00:26:41]

Israel and Lebanon, with U.S. mediation, signed a new security framework agreement aimed at stabilizing the northern border. This agreement allows Israel to maintain essential security areas in southern Lebanon until Hezbollah is weakened, the Lebanese army deploys, and terrorist infrastructure is dismantled under American supervision. It is a pilot program, expanding if successful, and Israel retains freedom of military action if Hezbollah rebuilds.

Israel and Lebanon signed a new security framework agreement in Washington." [00:06:53], "Israel remains in essential security areas. As long as not and as long as there is no proof on the ground that the threat has been removed." [00:07:41], "The first stage will begin as a pilot. Two areas in southern Lebanon will be chosen as test zones." [00:08:11], "If it fails, Israel reserves for itself freedom of military action." [00:09:02]

Hezbollah vehemently attacked the Israel-Lebanon agreement, viewing it as a direct threat to its role and legitimacy in Lebanon. The agreement challenges Hezbollah's narrative as Lebanon's defender by empowering the Lebanese state and army to control southern Lebanon and disarm militias. This situation presents a critical test of whether Lebanon can function as a sovereign state free from Iranian proxy control.

This is such a hard loss for Kizbala because for years the Kisbala terrorist organization sold the Lebanese lie that it is Lebanon's defender." [00:09:30], "Naim Kasim attacked the agreement harshly. From his perspective, this is not only a security document, it is a threat to Hisbala's very role." [00:10:10], "The agreement is not valid. It must be replaced by the memo of understanding between Iran and the United States." [00:10:52], "Lebanon really is the testing ground, the ground zero of what the day after is going to be in the Middle East." [00:20:01]

Reports indicate intensifying panic within Iran's leadership following a series of intelligence penetrations. The Revolutionary Guards are tightening their grip around the new leader, implementing a paranoid security system with compartmentation, removal of associates, and transfer of powers from the government to the IRGC, suggesting fear of internal collapse.

In Iran, the panic is intensifying. This is following a chain of intelligence penetrations." [00:12:21], "A new report exposes a paranoid security system that includes rings of compartmentization, the removal of associates and the transfer of powers from the government to the revolutionary guards." [00:12:31], "who is actually managing things, who's actually running the show in Iran. Is it much? Is it the Ayatollas? Is it the RGC?" [00:18:02]
