BREAKING: HORMUZ SHOWDOWN; Iran Nears Collapse; IDF Buries Hezbollah In Tunnels...

President Donald Trump has threatened to declare the Strait of Hormuz U.S. territory as tensions rise with Iran over control of the shipping lane. Iran’s economy is nearing hyperinflation from sanctions, a naval blockade, and fuel shortages, prompting new U.S. measures targeting Revolutionary Guards assets.

The IDF conducted heavy strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure and tunnel networks around the Ali Taher ridge in southern Lebanon following a drone attack on Israeli soldiers. Israel has resumed targeted operations against Hamas operatives in Gaza while Houthi forces continue Iranian-backed attacks in the Red Sea.
