US 'not ready' to escort tankers through Hormuz — all military assets focused on striking Iran

US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the military is currently 'not ready' to escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz because all assets are focused on striking Iran. 'It'll happen relatively soon, but it can't happen now. We're simply not ready,' Wright told CNBC. He added that escorts are 'quite likely' by the end of the month. This admission underscores the strategic tradeoff: the US cannot simultaneously prosecute the air campaign against Iran and protect Gulf shipping.

IDF expands south Lebanon evacuation order to Zahrani River — dozens more towns told to flee

The IDF expanded its evacuation warning for southern Lebanon, ordering all civilians south of the Zahrani River to evacuate immediately. This extends the previous order (south of the Litani River) significantly northward, covering dozens more towns. IDF spokesman Col. Adraee warned that 'any building used by Hezbollah for military purposes may become a target' and that 'any movement southward may put your life at risk.' The expansion follows Defense Minister Katz's instruction to 'prepare for an expansion of IDF activity in Lebanon' earlier today.

Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei issues first statement — Hormuz must stay closed, US bases will be attacked

Iran's new Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei issued his first public statement since his appointment, read on state television by a news anchor. He did not appear on camera — assessments indicate he was wounded in the war's opening salvo. Khamenei declared that the Strait of Hormuz 'should be closed as leverage,' vowed to continue attacks on Gulf Arab states, and said all US bases in the region 'should be closed as they will be attacked.' He vowed to avenge those killed, including in a strike on a school, saying Iran will 'obtain compensation' from the US or 'take from its assets.'

Hezbollah Radwan Force south Lebanon commander Abu Ali Riyan killed in airstrike — IDF announces

The IDF announced it killed Abu Ali Riyan, commander of the south Lebanon sector of Hezbollah elite Radwan Force, in an airstrike in Harouf last Saturday. Riyan managed operations, recruiting, and the weapons supply chain for Radwan in southern Lebanon. The IDF says it has killed over 350 terror operatives in Lebanon since hostilities escalated this month, including 100+ Radwan fighters, and struck 60+ Radwan command centers. The Radwan Force was previously tasked with invading Israel under the "Conquer the Galilee" plan.

IRGC commander of Hezbollah missile unit killed in Israeli airstrike in Beirut

The IDF announced it killed Abu Dharr Mohammadi, an IRGC officer who commanded Hezbollah's missile unit, in an airstrike in Beirut earlier this week. The IDF described Mohammadi as a "central figure in the military coordination" between Hezbollah and Iran, a "key figure" in Hezbollah's missile force build-up, and an authority on Hezbollah's strategic weapons. He coordinated between Hezbollah and senior Iranian officials. His death likely degrades the IRGC-Hezbollah coordination that produced the first declared joint operation on Day 12-13.
