BREAKING: Iran Mocks Trump Retreat; IDF Max Alert; Syria-Iraq Front Opens...

The Israeli Air Force and air defense systems remain on maximum alert after President Trump halted a planned strike on Iran at the last moment, conditioning it on a rapid agreement. Tehran mocked the decision as a retreat while Israel officials state the military option is frozen rather than canceled.

IDF troops in southern Lebanon killed two Hezbollah terrorists emerging from a tunnel and wounded one Israeli officer. Damascus issued an ultimatum and deployed forces against potential incursions by pro-Iranian militias from Iraq, signaling a possible new front.
