David Hookstead talks about a mystery explosion happening in Shiraz, Iran and the United States deploying planes to support JSOC operations. The U.S. has also deployed troops to Saudi Arabia as combat operations against the Houthis intensify. Two more ships were also bombed in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian state television has aired a segment threatening President Trump's youngest son, and the U.S. Secret Service has confirmed it is aware of the video and investigating — the first time the President's son has been publicly singled out after months of Iranian threats against the First Family. The escalation lands as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent launches Operation Economic Outcast, a sweeping secondary-sanctions campaign targeting Iranian oil, shipping, gold, crypto and aviation, and as the Strait of Hormuz standoff deepens with the IRGC claiming a revenue-sharing agreement with Oman that Iran's own foreign ministry never announced. This breakdown covers the threat, Washington's response, the Hormuz mine dispute, and the published record of what happened to the IRGC commanders who went down this road before.

Iran and the US are testing to see who will go further

Pretty significant strikes carried out yesterday between the US and Iran showing that we are, once again, in a spiral of escalation with some analysts warning that we’re on a path to return to full scale war.

Looks like Iran fired missiles at US warships. The US responded by striking five Iranian oil tankers and then Iran fired 20 ballistic missiles at a US base in Jordan.

جمهوری اسلامی موشک‌هایی به امارات متحده عربی، بحرین، قطر، کویت، عمان، اردن، عراق و عربستان سعودی شلیک کرده است. این رژیم همسایگان عرب ما را هدف قرار می‌دهد.

نقض حاکمیت ملی آن‌ها غیرقابل قبول است و ما آن را محکوم می‌کنیم. اما این امر تازه‌ای نیست. ماهیت جمهوری اسلامی همیشه همین بوده است. و به همین دلیل است که باید پایان یابد.

نزدیک به پنج دهه است که این رژیم تروریستی در سراسر منطقه ما هرج‌ومرج و خون‌ریزی به‌پا کرده است.

از اسد حمایت کرد و سوریه را به گورستانی بدل ساخت.

حزب‌الله را ایجاد کرد؛ دولتی در درون دولت در لبنان.

حوثی‌ها را مسلح کرد تا شبه‌جزیره عربستان را بی‌ثبات کند.

در عراق شبه‌نظامیانی را تقویت کرد که حاکمیت عراق را تضعیف می‌کنند.

به مراکز اقتصادی پادشاهی عربستان سعودی و امارات متحده عربی حمله کرد.

هیچ‌یک از این‌ها هرگز خواست ملت ایران نبوده است، بلکه خواست رژیمی بوده که کشور ما را اشغال کرده است. با این حال، اکنون صحنه به‌طور بنیادین تغییر کرده است.

اسد رفته است. حزب‌الله به‌شدت تضعیف شده است. برنامه هسته‌ای نظامی رژیم عقب رانده شده است. اقتصاد آن در سقوط آزاد قرار دارد. ستون‌های سیاست تهاجمی این رژیم در حال فروپاشی است.

مردم ایران، بهای رسیدن به این نقطه را با خون خود پرداخته‌اند. رژیم تنها در دو روز ده‌ها هزار تن از هم‌میهنان من را قتل‌عام کرد. اما نتوانست ملت ما را در هم بشکند. در عوض، این خود رژیم است که در حال فروپاشی است.

امروز، تاریخ، ظرفیت آینده ما را به ما یادآوری می‌کند. پیش از انقلاب ۵۷، ایران با رهبران عرب همکاری نزدیک داشت؛ از ملک فیصل تا شیخ زاید، از ملک حسین تا رئیس‌جمهور سادات.
در عمان، پدرم به سلطان قابوس کمک کرد تا از کشورش در برابر شورش دفاع کند.

آن زمان ما شریکان واقعی بودیم. دوباره نیز شریکان واقعی خواهیم بود.

مردم ایران از من خواسته‌اند که پس از رفتن این رژیم، رهبری دوران گذار را بر عهده بگیرم. من این مسئولیت را پذیرفته‌ام.

بخشی از مأموریت بزرگی که آن‌ها به من سپرده‌اند، بازگرداندن کشورمان و روابط خارجی‌مان به وضعیت عادی است. من دقیقاً همین کار را خواهم کرد.

تعهد من این است که این گذار به‌گونه‌ای منظم انجام شود، کشور به ثبات برسد و ایرانیان آینده خود را از طریق صندوق رای تعیین کنند.

ما اشتباهاتی که در برخی کشورهای دیگر در دوره گذار رخ داد، تکرار نخواهیم کرد. از سناریوهایی چون «بعثی‌زدایی» پرهیز خواهیم کرد و تا حد امکان بسیاری از کارمندان دولت و کارکنان خدمات عمومی را در روند انتقال حفظ خواهیم کرد.

ایرانیان با پرداخت بهایی بسیار سنگین، انتخاب خود را کرده‌اند. اکنون از دوستان‌مان در جهان عرب می‌خواهم که به ما بپیوندند و برای به‌رسمیت شناختن و تعامل با دولت انتقالی ما آماده شوند.

ما کشورمان را نه برای توسعه‌طلبی، بلکه برای خدمت به مردم ایران بازسازی خواهیم کرد. روابط دیپلماتیک خود را نه بر پایه‌ی صدور ایدئولوژی، بلکه بر اساس احترام متقابل و منافع مشترک بنا خواهیم کرد. ما دوباره در اقتصاد منطقه‌ای و جهانی ادغام خواهیم شد تا رفاه شهروندان همه کشورهای ما افزایش یابد.

ایستادن در کنار مردم ایران، یک کار خیریه نیست؛ بلکه سرمایه‌گذاری راهبردی برای تبدیل منطقه ما به یکی از باثبات‌ترین، امن‌ترین و شکوفاترین مناطق جهان است. ما با هم می‌توانیم خاورمیانه‌ای بسازیم که فرزندان‌مان بابت به ارث بردن آن افتخار کنند.

در این مسیر تازه با ما همراه شوید.

Iran tried to shut down the Strait of Hormuz with ship attacks and threats—then US forces unleashed the most intense strikes of the war, destroying 16 Iranian mine-layers and hammering missile sites. Breaking down the latest US-Iran war developments, airpower dominance, and what comes next in this escalating Gulf showdown.

شاید به نظر برسد مهم‌ترین خبر امروز، آغاز دوباره حملات هوایی آمریکا به پایگاه‌های سپاه در جنوب ایران است؛ اما به نظر می‌رسد سخنان امروز اسکات بسنت، وزیر خزانه‌داری آمریکا، اهمیت بیشتری دارد.

آمریکا در حال ترکیب فشارهای بسیار شدید اقتصادی با حضور گسترده نظامی در دریای عمان و حملات هوایی مانند حملات امروز است؛ ترکیبی از فشار اقتصادی و قدرت نظامی.

این روند یک پرسش مهم را مطرح می‌کند: آیا آمریکا، بدون آنکه رسماً از «تغییر رژیم» سخن بگوید، عملاً در مسیر سرنگونی جمهوری اسلامی گام برمی‌دارد؟

This morning, Ukraine has struck and destroyed several Russian warships at the major naval port of Novorossisyk and absolutely devastated surrounding Russian defenses in some of the worst attack aftermath seen so far in the war. Meanwhile, Ukraine also launched an unprecedented strike on Russia reaching over 3,000km into Russia’s desolate Siberia region — as it appears a critical gas facility was likely destroyed in the attack. Meanwhile, Russian frontline forces have begun panicking as Ukrainian forces continue to push a major breakthrough on the Lyman front, and it appears the Russians are getting steamrolled at the moment. And we also have bombshell news from Iran, that new activity has been detected at the notorious Pickaxe mountain nuclear site that indicates Iran may have restarted nefarious research in the mountain.

Iran reportedly damaged eight U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagles and an A-10 during a ballistic missile attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan — and hours later mysterious explosions were reported across Iran's southern coastline near Sirik, Minab and Qeshm Island along the Strait of Hormuz. Former F-15E Strike Eagle and Thunderbird pilot Max Afterburner breaks down what may have been targeted, how the U.S. military kill chain works, and why radar, command-and-control and maritime infrastructure matter as much as the weapons themselves.

Iran may be running out of patience with the U.S. blockade. Retired Rear Admiral Mark Montgomery warns that Tehran could launch an attack against America’s Arab partners in late September or early October—potentially restarting full-scale military operations and disrupting President Trump’s strategy ahead of the midterm elections.

Mike Baker speaks with Admiral Montgomery, senior director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, about Iran’s possible next move, America’s struggle to defend Gulf infrastructure from drone attacks and the long-term strain the blockade could place on U.S. military readiness.

David Hookstead talks about Germany confirming Russia attacked the Leipzig/Halle Airport in a failed drone attack. There is also footage of a Russian helicopter going down and an insane gunfight between Ukrainian intelligence forces was captured on video. There are also many more updates with the status of the war.

Belarus has now officially crossed the red line, violated the recent agreement with Ukraine, and engaged itself in Russia’s long-range drone campaign, providing relay infrastructure on Belarusian territory to guide Shahed drones in real time. The latest indication came from a jet-powered, camera-guided Shahed strike against the Ukrainian city of Malyn.

Analysis of the drone’s flight path shows it was following and maneuvering closely to the Belarusian-Ukrainian border before turning along a highway toward Korosten and then following a railway line directly to its target. Such precise navigation strongly suggests continuous operator control rather than a simple pre-programmed GPS route. Because the target lay roughly two hundred and sixty kilometers from the Russian border, maintaining direct radio contact from Russia alone would have been technically impossible, as no airborne Russian relay drones were operating in the vicinity.

That leaves ground-based relay stations inside Belarus as the only explanation, as they extend communications range, allowing operators to alter routes in real time to avoid Ukrainian air defenses, evade interceptor drones in modern-style drone dogfights, and adjust onto the target if needed. Without these relay networks, Shahed drones would be limited largely to predetermined waypoints, making them substantially less flexible and easier to intercept.

This development comes after Belarusian President Lukashenko had already received an explicit warning from Kyiv, as President Volodymyr Zelensky demanded that Belarus dismantle any infrastructure supporting Russian drone guidance, warning that Ukraine would destroy the network itself if Belarus failed to act. Ukrainian officials subsequently stated that approximately five hundred military-related targets inside Belarus had already been identified should further assistance to Russian operations continue. As a result, Lukashenko caved to the threat and turned the relays off, only to be forced by Russia to go back on his decision now.

Recent Ukrainian deep-strike campaigns against Russia demonstrate that such threats cannot be dismissed lightly, as Ukraine has repeatedly launched massive drone raids involving up to one thousand long-range drones during a single night, at times simultaneously striking Moscow, Crimea, and other distant regions while overwhelming dense Russian air defenses in all of them.

Belarus possesses nothing comparable to Russia’s multilayered defensive network; with its smaller inventory of S-Three-Hundred systems, limited S-Four-Hundred batteries, Buks, Tors, Pantsirs, and aging fighter aircraft, it would face enormous difficulties responding to Ukraine’s large-scale saturation attacks. The country's proximity to northern Ukraine further compresses reaction times, leaving only minutes to detect, classify, and intercept incoming low- and fast-flying drones before they reach critical infrastructure.

At the same time, provoking Ukrainian retaliation against Belarus may actually serve Russia’s broader interests and be part of a larger Russian strategy. Near-assuredly, Belarus's putting the relays back up has come under pressure from Moscow, despite knowing Ukraine’s threats and the risks to Belarus. Russia hopes that if Ukraine is forced to redirect a portion of its long-range strike campaign toward Belarusian military and relay infrastructure, the pressure on Russian territory could decline. Belarus would effectively become a sacrificial lamb, absorbing Ukrainian retaliation while Russia gained valuable time to replenish interceptor stocks and reorganize its air defenses.

However, this strategy may ultimately fail because Ukraine possesses far more options than drone strikes alone. Communications relays, command nodes, and supporting infrastructure inside Belarus do not necessarily need to be destroyed through large-scale aerial attacks. Cyber operations, electronic warfare, sabotage, or special forces insertions behind enemy lines could neutralize these networks without consuming Ukraine’s long-range strike assets, especially as Ukraine is creating a dedicated Cyber Forces branch within the Armed Forces, with specialized research infrastructure for its units.

Such an approach would allow Ukraine to maintain the overwhelming majority of its drone campaign against Russian oil facilities, logistics hubs, and military infrastructure while simultaneously degrading Belarusian support through covert means. Rather than choosing between Russia and Belarus, Ukraine possesses a wide series of complementary instruments capable of operating in parallel, denying Moscow the breathing space it hopes to create by drawing Belarus further into the conflict.

During a gaggle outside of the White House on Friday, President Trump was asked about NATO.

ILTV is an independent English-language media company based in Tel Aviv that provides daily news and entertainment to its viewers.

Launched in 2015, ILTV is committed to producing high quality content in a broad array of subjects, from reporting news and current events to programming which highlights technology, art and entertainment, sports and culture.

In today’s media, biased reporting and anti-Israel agendas are prevalent, as the State of Israel is under relentless attack.
From the “spinning” of unfolding political events in order to display Israel in a negative light, to the misrepresenting facts, media outlets are providing the fuel which shapes negative public opinion and contributes to the Delegitimization of the State of Israel.
