The US conducted freedom of navigation operations as scheduled in the early morning, to which Iran responded by bombing ships and firing at US naval vessels.
US President Trump, in an interview with Fox News, threatened to "wipe Iran off the face of the earth" if the Islamic Republic attacks American ships escorting vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.
An Israeli military official stated that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are closely monitoring the escalation in the Gulf and remain on high alert, with air defense systems and offensive capabilities at a heightened readiness level since the ceasefire began. No changes have been made to the Home Front Command's civilian guidelines.
Two American warships passed through the Strait of Hormuz, prompting the IRGC to fire four missiles toward the UAE, escalating regional tensions. Tehran asserts its control over the strait, while a Trump administration source warns that the "Freedom of Navigation" operations could lead to war.
The ceasefire was only needed to resupply and reload. Beyond that, it was a waste of time that allowed the regime in Iran to gaslight the world while executing endless innocent Iranians. Today proves there is no such thing as negotiating with these demons.
