BREAKING: Iran Hits SHIP & U.S. Base; THAAD Drained; IDF Preps Direct War...

Israel is preparing for possible direct war with Iran as Tehran threatens shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and challenges a US-led naval blockade. A Liberian-flagged carrier was struck near Oman, and Iran’s Revolutionary Guards attacked a US base in Kuwait with drones.

The US has reportedly used most of its THAAD interceptors in prior exchanges. Negotiations continue over Hormuz navigation while Israel, Lebanon, and the US discuss verification mechanisms for Hezbollah’s dismantling in southern Lebanon, with Italy considered as a potential monitor.
