The US president threatens consequences if Tehran is not'smart' while the Israeli army conducts operations in the West Bank and southeastern Lebanon, causing casualties and injuries
AI-generated summary
The Strait of Hormuz is a crucial maritime route through which about one fifth of the world's oil and gas passes. Tensions between the United States and Iran have increased in recent years, with exchanges of threats and military operations in the region. Israel conducts frequent operations on the West Bank and against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and regional tensions.
The US President has issued a warning to Tehran, declaring that if they are "not smart" they will end up with a "Strait of Hormuz that will no longer be necessary". According to Trump, new pipelines are being created that could lead to bypassing the Strait, through which until a few months ago a fifth of global oil and gas passed. Tehran: "Wherever we perceive a threat, we will conduct preventive operations"

At dawn the Israeli army launched an incursion into the towns of Nazla al-Sharqiya and Qaffin, north of Tulkarem, in the West Bank. The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported this, citing local sources, specifying that several military vehicles patrolled the streets, carrying out searches and searches. However, no arrests were reported. According to Quds News, during the night the IDF raided the dormitories of the Arab-American University of Jenin, in the north of the West Bank, in Tammun and Wadi al-Far'a, both south of Tubas, in the village of Beitin, near Ramallah, and in the Qalandiya refugee camp, on the northern outskirts of Jerusalem.
"China's emphasis on promoting common security reflects a principle that Iran has long supported": this is what the president of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, argued in a post on X, according to which "regional countries must take their future into their own hands". "True stability can only be achieved through a new security architecture, elaborated and built in the region. Iran is ready," Ghalibaf added.
After six months of war, Iran has become more confident in its ability to attack targets in the Middle East and appears determined to continue the conflict to exasperate the United States. This was reported by a US intelligence report reported by the New York Times. According to the American secret services, Iran is unlikely to accept an agreement soon. Indeed, he is happy to give President Donald Trump a hard time ahead of the mid-term elections. In the coming weeks, Iran could return to attacking American military bases in the Middle East or carry out hybrid warfare. The 007s believe Iranian-linked hackers were most likely responsible for cyberattacks on more than 100 water systems across the United States in late July. And now they would aim to hit oil infrastructure.
The leader of the democratic sanatoriums, Chuck Schimer, harshly criticized President Donald Trump who yesterday had defined the war in Iran as "stupid", using the American expression 'small potatoes'. “'Small stuff.' That's how Donald Trump feels about the war he started in Iran. Go tell that to the families of the 18 soldiers we lost, the hundreds of wounded service members, and the Americans who suffer every single day from record prices,” wrote X. “There's nothing small about this,” he stressed.
