In two wars recently we've lost a total of 13 service members.

In Venezuela — which was a complete and total victory — we're working very closely with the Venezuelan government right now. We took that over in one day. Lost no one.

In Operation Epic Fury we lost 13 wonderful souls. These incredible men and women gave their lives to ensure that the world's number one state sponsor of terror will never have a nuclear weapon.

Oh, and they won't. They will never have a nuclear weapon. I'm sure you know that.

Hezbollah has ignored repeated requests to cease fire against Israel, including the latest warning.

Israel will respond to attacks targeting its forces and civilians. This is not the Biden administration.

Hezbollah has launched a thousand marches and 700 rockets since April 17 to disrupt negotiations between Lebanon and Israel.

Hezbollah bears full responsibility for the current escalation by violating the ceasefire since the beginning of March and is seeking to deprive Lebanese of the opportunity to achieve peace and reconstruction.

Any successful ceasefire led by the Lebanese government would strip Hezbollah of its power.

The idea of direct negotiations that could result in significant American support poses an existential threat to Hezbollah.

— Iran is currently only willing to commit to not developing nuclear weapons, while the U.S. is proposing several options for Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, including selling it to the U.S., transferring it to a third country, or diluting the material.

— Disagreements also remain over the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran insisting on Iranian management of the waterway while the U.S. is demanding unrestricted free navigation.

— There is still no agreement on frozen Iranian funds, though Qatar has proposed providing Iran with a $12 billion humanitarian loan.

— Lebanon is also included as part of the broader agreement framework under discussion.

“Hezbollah has ignored repeated requests to stop firing at Israel, including a recent ultimatum,” the official said, adding that “Israel will never be expected to passively absorb attacks on its forces and civilians.”

We are at war with Hezbollah.

In recent weeks alone, our heroic fighters have eliminated more than 600 terrorists. I want you to know this: more than 600 terrorists.

But we are not taking our foot off the gas. On the contrary, I said to step on the gas even more. We will strike them.

True, they are firing drones at us, FPV drones. We have a special team working on this and we will solve this as well.

But what this requires of us now is to increase the blows, to increase the power. We will strike them hip and thigh.

The only tangible outcome so far is the mutual reopening of the strait; all other issues — including Iran's nuclear program, missiles, and proxies — are postponed to negotiations with no set date.

The agreement even obliges Hezbollah to a ceasefire, effectively recognizing Iran as a military and political actor in Lebanon, in complete contradiction to the war's original aims.

All issues vital to Israel have been deferred to future talks, and no one knows if those talks will even take place.

The IDF is striking Hezbollah infrastructure sites in the Beqaa Valley and additional areas across Lebanon.

The White House failed to understand that a war without strategy leads to something between defeat and humiliation; Trump couldn't even convince American public opinion.

If the ceasefire includes lifting the naval blockade, Trump will make a joke of himself.

With America's failure, Israel now faces its worst strategic situation in history: three active fronts — Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas — and no room to maneuver.

Today, we honor the American heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in Trump’s war with Iran.

The Enriched Uranium (Nuclear Dust!) will either be immediately turned over to the United States to be brought home and destroyed or, preferably, in conjunction and coordination with the Islamic Republic of Iran, destroyed in place or, at another acceptable location, with the Atomic Energy Commission, or its equivalent, being witness to this process and event.
