Some people were convinced, even on this forum, after last year's bombing on Lebanon that Hezbollah is "totally finished". Now, we are witnessing a more lethal Hezbollah than before. Not only are they smoking IDF daily but also recording it for the psychological warfare.

Here we see an FPV that caught up with two IDF soldiers trying to flee,

Apparently, Israel tried to setup a base in Iraq right before this war started. It is right over the Irani missile corridor to Israel. Israeli media claim it succeeded, but Iraqi media claims the Iraqi military discovered the outpost, engaged the enemy and made them abandon the project.

What happened in Badiya Al-Najaf? .. Achieving the tactical cell

Throughout the day, we have been covering an important security event in the desert between the noble Najaf and the holy Karbala. After information disseminated through open sources indicates that there was an American airstrike in the beginning of Al-Najaf today, but an official denial was issued from the security media cell, followed by another statement that a force from the Iraqi army was exposed to air bombardment and fire during a search duty in the same area, which resulted in Soldier martyrdom and others injured without further details.

After reviewing open sources, checking and examining the data of the security media cell, we reach the fact that a force from the Iraqi army clashed with a foreign force in the Najaf desert. According to a leaked telecast of military intelligence and unofficial testimonies, the Iraqi force arrived after reports of an unidentified airstrike in the Chenana region, where 5-7 helicopters were spotted in the area.

Our analysis of the accident
Considering the nature of the exposure, the data indicates that the unknown force was accompanied by attack helicopters which is a classic way to take down special forces in high-risk areas in order to provide continuous fire and air cover.
When the Iraqi force arrived, a clash broke out and, according to sources, led to the injury of two military wheels before the unknown force withdrew after failing in its mission.

Most sources said that this unidentified force was American, but our analysis probably belongs to the Israeli army, and this is based on several indications of which the existence of specific conflict rules and official considerations that the American army adheres to the direction of the Iraqi government, in addition to the reason which is the most important statement by the commander of the Israeli Air Force that the special forces belong to The Air Force carries out extraordinary missions that are impressive without revealing the stage of its operations.
The Israeli Air Force has elite units such as Shaldagh Unit 5101 and 669, and these units are in-depth reconnaissance and targeting operations for air raids as well as combat search and rescue missions, and their work is supported by UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters and CH-53 Yassur Wabachi AH-64 to provide fire and air cover.
Given that the discharge area is excluded from camps or vital facilities, the purpose of discharge is likely to be limited to two possibilities
First, is to create an advanced temporary base to install anti-aircraft radars and systems such as the Drone Dome, Iron Beam, or a portable radar such as EL/M-2084 to enhance early warning capabilities against ballistic missiles, especially as the site is located on the Iranian missile corridor and missile corridors.

The second probability is the evacuation of a high value body that fell in this area like a marching plane or missile with technical malfunction.

In the end, the disembarkation failed after the sudden encounter of the Iraqi force, which was learned to exist through military intelligence and thermal cameras spread in the desert, forcing the foreign force to withdraw, although the Iraqi army managed to do damage with that force without knowing the extent of the damage.

Trump weighs military action against Iran with ceasefire "on life support"​

President Trump is meeting with his national security team Monday to discuss the way forward in the Iran war, including possibly resuming military action, after negotiations with the country deadlocked on Sunday, three U.S. officials said.

Why it matters: U.S. officials say Trump wants a deal to end the war, but Iran's rejection of many of his demands and refusal to make meaningful concessions on its nuclear program puts the military option back on the table.
  • Trump publicly threatened several times in recent days to bomb infrastructure facilities in Iran if diplomacy failed.
Driving the news: The U.S. waited 10 days for Iran's response to its draft proposal for ending the war. The White House was optimistic that Iran's positions would show further progress toward a deal.
  • But the Iranian response that arrived on Sunday was not positive. Iran's state TV reported that Tehran has rejected the U.S. proposal, which it said "meant Iran's surrender to Trump's excessive demands."
  • Trump rejected Iran's response on Sunday. "I don't like it. It is inappropriate," he told Axios.
Behind the scenes: Vice President Vance, White House envoy Steve Witkoff, Secretary of State Rubio, Secretary of Defense Hegseth, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine, CIA director John Ratcliffe and other senior officials are expected to participate in the Iran meeting on Monday, U.S. officials say.

What he's saying: "I have a plan. Iran can't have a nuclear weapon," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office Monday before the meeting.
  • "The ceasefire with Iran is on massive life support," Trump added.
  • Trump said Iran had agreed to relinquish its stockpile of enriched uranium to the U.S. But he said the Iranians apparently reversed course because their response Sunday omitted any mention of the issue.
  • Trump said the Iranian leadership is divided between "moderates and lunatics."
State of play: Two U.S. officials said Trump is leaning toward taking some form of military action against Iran to increase pressure on the regime and force concessions on its nuclear program.
  • "He will tune them up a bit," one U.S. official said.

  • "I think we all know where this is going," a second U.S. official said.
What to watch: One option Trump is considering is resuming "Project Freedom," the U.S. operation to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz, which was suspended last week.
  • Another option is to resume the bombing campaign and strike the 25% of targets the U.S. military identified but hasn't hit yet.
  • The Israeli government wants Trump to order a special forces operation to secure Iran's enriched uranium stockpile. Israeli officials say Trump is hesitant to order such an operation because it is highly risky.
The big picture: One consideration for Trump as he weighs next steps in the war is his trip to China this week.
  • The president is expected to leave Wednesday and return Friday. Two U.S. officials said they don't think Trump would order military action against Iran before he returns from China.
  • U.S. officials say Trump is expected to discuss the Iran war with Chinese President Xi Jinping. China has been urging Iran to reach a deal with the U.S. on ending the war and curbing its nuclear program, so far with no success.

In other words, President Biden Trump will meet and demand that China force Russia Iran to unconditionally surrender to Ukraine Israel.
