Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham speaking today on Fox News, advocating for a ground invasion of Iran’s Kharg Island in the Northern Persian Gulf: “We've got two Marine Expeditionary Units sailing to this island. We did Iwo Jima. We can do this. The Marines, my money is always on the Marines.”

U.S. Forces suffered over 26,000 casualties in the Battle of Iwo Jima, including 6,821 dead, in an operation which lasted 36 days and involved an island about the same size as Kharg Island.

Israel is interested in a wide-scale attacks on Iran’s energy facilities and supports the recent 48-hour ultimatum issued by U.S. President Donald J. Trump, according to the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has published a compilation of strikes against various one-way attack drones across Iran.

During a phone interview today with Israel’s Channel 13, U.S. President Donald J. Trump stated about his recent ultimatum against Iran and the Strait of Hormuz: “You’ll find out what’s gonna happen. You’re gonna find out soon. It’s gonna be very good. Total decimation of Iran. It’s gonna work out very good.”

Iran has decided to limit its attacks on Saudi Arabia and Qatar out of concern that continued strikes could trigger a direct Saudi military response, however, strikes against Kuwait, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates will “continue as usual,” two sources told The Jerusalem Post.

The Israeli Air Force, part of an extensive wave of strikes Sunday morning against Hezbollah and civilian infrastructure across Southern Lebanon, targeted and destroyed the Al-Qasimia Bridge over the Litani River near Tyre in Southwestern Lebanon.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a statement earlier today, following yesterday’s 48-hour ultimatum and threat issued by U.S. President Donald J. Trump, that the Strait of Hormuz is “not closed,” and that, “No insurer - and no Iranian - will be swayed by more threats. Try respect”

Asked about what he thought of today’s statement from Iran’s Foreign Minister saying Iran would not be swayed by threats after President Trump said the U.S. would strike Iranian power plants if the Strait of Hormuz was not reopened within 48 hours, Trump told NewsNation:

“Ok, let’s see whether or not he’s right.”

Experts believe the intermediate-range ballistic missiles used in Iran’s recent failed attack against Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean were variants of the Khorramshahr-4, which could potentially reach parts of the United Kingdom. It is understood that the first ballistic missile was intercepted between Thursday night and Friday by an SM-3 fired from a U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, according to The Times, while the second fell after travelling 1,990 miles, some 400 miles from the US-UK military base in the Chagos Islands.

If such missiles were fired towards England, it would be “very unlikely” to hit London, one military source said. “It would have to fly a long way over multiple air defence networks and be very precise,” they added. These include U.S. Navy Aegis Ashore Ballistic Missile Defense Sites in Poland and Romania.

Britain Royal Navy operates six Type 45 air-defense destroyers but they can only intercept medium-range ballistic missiles, not intercontinental ballistic missiles like the ones fired from Iran. However, Britain is also protected by NATO’s Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) System, with sites in Europe and Turkey.

Brig. Gen. Ebrahim Zolfaghari, the Spokesman for the Khatam-al Anbiya Central Headquarters, the unified combatant command headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces:

“Hey Trump! You are fired! You are familiar with this sentence. Thank you for your attention to this matter. The Central Headquarters of Khatam-al Anbiya.”

U.S. President Donald J. Trump:

“PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH, TO PUT IT MILDLY!!!”
