Drone

US President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s latest ceasefire response as ‘totally unacceptable,’ while an IDF reservist was killed by a Hezbollah explosive drone near the Lebanon border. Prime Minister Netanyahu said the war with Iran is ‘not over’ until enriched uranium is removed, and the UK and France are hosting a multinational defense ministers’ meeting on securing the Strait of Hormuz.

CENTCOM chief Adm. Brad Cooper is set to brief President Trump on new military options against Iran, including 'short and powerful' strikes and seizing parts of the Strait of Hormuz, as Hezbollah wounded 12 IDF soldiers in a drone attack on northern Israel. Iran's supreme leader declared a 'new chapter' for the Strait of Hormuz, while the IAEA said Iran's highly enriched uranium likely remains buried at Isfahan. The IDF issued evacuation threats to nine southern Lebanon towns and killed five Hezbollah operatives in airstrikes.
