⭕️🧵Full details from last night's marathon of talks and consultations between Bibi and Trump and senior US leadership: In Israel, there was a desire to carry out a more "significant" attack in terms of the targets to be hit. Among other things, last night there was a discussion with the US leadership about the possibility of attacking energy facilities—the US message was unequivocal: NO
📌 As is known, PM Netanyahu spoke last night with President Trump, but not only him; there was a marathon of talks held last night by PM Netanyahu, including with Secretary of State Rubio and Secretary of War Hegeseth, where they went into the details and targets to be attacked.
📌 Senior Israelis briefed on the Netanyahu-Trump conversation say President Trump told the PM: attack and move on.
📌 In other words, the Americans understood that Israel would respond, contrary to the messages Trump chose to send out. But they also carefully assessed the strike's strength to avoid renewing the war.
📌 This morning, there was another conversation between Netanyahu and Trump during which Trump clarified to Netanyahu that all further action in Iran must cease. Therefore, another planned attack in Iran was canceled at the last moment.

🧵LEBANON DEAL BREAKDOWN: The agreement signed last night between Israel and Lebanon, under American auspices, is a significant achievement for Israel.

Hezbollah’s leadership, senior officials, and supporters are strongly opposing it, and while that alone does not prove the agreement is good for Israel, it is certainly a telling indication.Image
Let's start off with the most important point: the agreement leaves almost all of the territory Israeli captured in Israeli hands until Hezbollah is disarmed and its infrastructure is dismantled throughout Lebanon.

In other words, Lebanon is authorizing the IDF to remain on its territory, consciously, consensually, and through a signed legal framework, until a major strategic objective is achieved: the disarmament of Hezbollah.
This means no outside actor like Iran, Turkey, France, or anyone else, can credibly demand that Israel withdraw from Southern Lebanon.

The IDF is there with the approval of Lebanon’s official authorities. That neutralizes many of the usual claims against Israel. It is a major diplomatic and legal advantage.

⭕️🧵WHAT'S NEXT FOR THE US AND ISRAEL? A new axis of evil has just formed before our eyes: Iran, Qatar, Pakistan, and Turkey. Shockingly, Trump now fully supports them and considers them allies. Israel's security concerns are no longer a priority for Trump; he cares little for Israel. Let’s examine the fronts Israel is fighting on, along with my predictions for each:
📌 Iran: Israel will return to covert warfare, fighting the regime from within and continuing to damage its terror infrastructure, eliminating key IRGC figures, and seeking to destabilize the leadership. The Mossad will assume a leading role, operating beyond the use of IDF jets.
📌 Lebanon: Israel will accelerate the destruction of all terrorist infrastructure and villages along the Israeli border to prevent Hezbollah from reestablishing positions and launching another 10/7-style attack. Trump will force Israel to withdraw in order to preserve his surrender deal with Iran. Israel, however, will strike in Lebanon on its own terms after any withdrawal.

⭕️ 🧵Many good people correctly point out that we defeated Iran militarily. I agree, but what was the point? All we did was kick the can down the road—while not only giving Iran a huge amount of money, but also handing them the most powerful weapon they could have dreamed of: control over the Strait of Hormuz. A thread. 👇
📌 Before the war started, the Strait of Hormuz was open. Iran was economically broken—the sanctions were crippling the regime from within. Protests were increasing and threatened the regime’s survival. Their nuclear program had been set back at least 5–7 years. Both the US and Israel were closely monitoring enriched uranium 24/7 after it was bombed, and any attempt by Iran to recover it (which is complicated, even for Iran) would have been met with a strike.
📌 During the war, the Strait of Hormuz was closed. About 85% of Iran’s military defense complex and supporting industries were destroyed. Most of their ballistic missiles—about 70%—were eliminated, and the majority of their military was wiped out. The nuclear program remained unchanged from before the war. The blockade was demolishing what was left of their economy. The proxies were on their knees. All that was needed was some patience.

⭕🧵 Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqhchi is giving an interview on Iranian television about the emerging deal with the US, here is what he said:
📌 The best time to end a war is when we have the upper hand. We are indeed winning on the battlefield. We have stood for 40 days against what is considered the world's superpower. An agreement and an end to the war will anchor this victory.
📌 The final agreement has not yet been reached. If it is completed, I promise to explain every clause in it. The agreement includes two phases, and we have moved the nuclear issue to the second phase.

🧵REVEALED - THE IDF'S PLAN FOR LEBANON: Earlier today, IDF Radio revealed the detailed plan that the IDF has come up with for a new security zone in Southern Lebanon. This will likely shape the region for the coming years so let's dive in.
The core of this plan is the COMPLETE destruction of the first line of villages along the Lebanon-Israel border and the creation of a *depopulated* “security zone” where Lebanese residents would not be allowed to return.
The IDF says that Hezbollah has spent the past year trying to rebuild terror infrastructure near the border and the entire belt roughly 3–4 km from the border must become a cleared security area with a new forward line of Israeli positions.

⭕️🧵Senior IDF Air Force official: During 18 days of fighting, air activity was carried out equivalent in scope to a "whole year of operational activity." A Thread.
📌 Air Force pilots conducted more than 8,500 strikes across Iran in less than three weeks, using over 12,000 bombs. About 3,600 munitions were dropped in Tehran alone.
📌 In the "Rising Lion" operation in June, the IDF focused its efforts on three areas in Iran, while in the "Roar of the Lion" operation, the IDF operated throughout Iran. One-fifth of the air strikes change their targets while the aircraft are in the air.
