BREAKING: Iran REJECTS Ceasefire Deal; U.S. Amps Threats; IRGC Chiefs ELIMINATED

Did the United States pull off the great uranium heist? An extraordinary allegation? Could it be that instead of rescuing an American soldier, the United States and Israel organized a secret operation to remove the enriched uranium that Iran still had left? I’m not the one saying it.

Iran’s revolutionary guards.

They are convinced today that the American rescue mission was a sophisticated deception.

All the details coming up real soon.

And will the gates of hell be opened up today? Because it turns out that Iran is rejecting the proposal for a temporary ceasefire.

It’s real.

In Iran, they are rejecting the American proposal for a ceasefire.

And in response, Trump says that the deadline to reach a deal is final.

A crushing blow to Thran.

The commander of the Revolutionary Guards intelligence has been terminated.

Overnight, two of the most senior and dangerous figures were terminated.

Israel eliminated one of the world’s most wanted terrorists.

and we will bring you all the information on who the intelligence mastermind of the revolutionary guards was and Asha Bagari.

We will also bring you the information on the men who stood at the head of unit 840 of the revolutionary guards.

These eliminations are coming alongside the pounding of Iran’s steel and oil infrastructure.

Netanyahu announced that we are eliminating the revolutionary guards money machine.

So what is the escalation in the Middle East expected to look like over the last 24 hours? I’m Pinto and with me is Mati Shashani and we are boots on the ground and we bring you the full truth about what’s happening in Israel and also the full truth about what is happening in our neighborhood the Middle East.

And this is the opening of day 38 of the war roaring lion or by its American name epic fury.

And this is a decisive 24 hours.

Trump is going all in.

Trump wants to finish the job in Iran.

The president of the United States escalates his threats towards Iran after it rejected a ceasefire proposal.

If there is no deal, they will have no bridges or power stations left.

 

President Trump is threatening a sharp escalation in the war if the Strait of Hummus is not opened by the night between Tuesday and Wednesday.

And in a series of posts, Trump pledged to strike Meanwhile, the Ayatollas and the revolutionary guards are not backing down and are threatening that the whole region will burn.

In a nighttime operation, the IDF thwarted Majid Khadami, one of the regime’s senior figures responsible for missile fire towards Israel.

And we are now one day after Israel struck the largest prochemical facility in a gas field in Iran.

the plant located in the south pass natural gas field.

The Israeli defense minister said that this plant together with another plant that was attacked last week was responsible for about 85% of Thrron’s prochemical production.

In addition, over the past 24 hours, the Israeli Air Force has shifted into a higher gear and struck more than 120 air defensive systems and missile launchers in Iran.

An unprecedented wave of strikes in central and western Iran.

The air force is pounding the revolutionary guard’s ballistic missile array and drone sites.

Our air forces eliminated in Tehran the terrorist Muhammad Raz Ashari Khai who was responsible for oil deals worth billions of dollars that financed Iran’s missile and drone systems.

This is a severe blow to a multi-billion dollar oil network of the revolutionary guards.

This precise elimination is a devastating blow to the economic oxygen pipeline that finances and the Houthi missiles.

And right now, reports are coming in of explosions near Meabad airport in western Thran.

and Iran’s embassies around the world did not remain indifferent to Donald Trump’s unusual post in which he mentioned Allah and crawled it to open the F strait.

Iran’s embassy in South Africa recommended that the Americans declare Trump unfit to serve as president.

Pull yourself together, old man.

That was the quote in India.

Listen, Iran is mocking Trump’s threats and distributed a statement that says, “Relax, Tiger.

” As you remember yesterday, the president of the United States sent a deterrent message to Iran.

One day before the ultimatum expired, thousands will be power station day and also bridge day on Tuesday.

all wrapped into one.

In Iran, there will be no such thing.

But today, after several reports about a Pakistani proposal for a temporary ceasefire in the war with Iran, sources close to the regime in Tehran are reporting that Iran is rejecting the proposal and will not accept any temporary ceasefire.

Let me explain for a moment.

After two weeks of discussions, Iran passed along an official response with 10 lines and rejected the mediator’s proposal for a 45day ceasefire in order to advance negotiations on the permanent arrangement.

The Iran is demanding a permanent end to the war and to the conflicts in this region, meaning the war of the IDF against Hisbala in Lebanon, and he’s insisting on a new protocol for the Strait of Hormuz.

President Trump said that the Iranian proposal was significant, but not good enough, and promised the deadline is final.

In addition, Trump reveals, “We sent weapons to civilians in Iran.

I’m serious.

” President Donald Trump responded to Iran’s counterposal for a ceasefire and called it not good enough.

Trump also claimed that the Iranian people could have overthrown the regime within just 2 days if they had possessed weapons.

But it seems that the revolutionary guards in Iran really love mocking Trump because they not only refused the deal, they also presented new conditions.

And we will bring you all the details.

Saudi Arabia’s response to the strikes from Iran has arrived and it hurts very much.

Because of the blockade on the straight of Hormuz and the turmoil in the global energy markets, Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil exporter, decided to raise the price of its main oil grade for the Asian market to a record high premium.

All the details coming up.

In recent hours, and Iran have renewed power towards Israel, mainly towards central Israel and the in parallel with fire from Lebanon towards the northern communities of Israel.

Prime Minister Baminao is emphasizing the economic and operational damage to the revolutionary guards and the close cooperation with the United States.

President Trump thanked me for the assistance that Israel gave in the operation to rescue the American pilot end quote by the prime minister of Israel.

And defense minister Israel Kat said today, “We eliminated the head of the Iranian intelligence.

We will continue hunting them down one by one.

” End quote.

A major surprise in the Middle East.

Jordan and Saudi Arabia are supporting the Lebanese efforts to disarmala and along the way are also condemning the Iranian aggression.

This is progress.

And North Korea is also distancing itself from Iran, declaring that it prefers the United States.

And according to intelligence assessments, Pinyang is avoiding support for Iran and maintaining a cautious line so as not to damage the chances of improving relations with Donald Trump.

And at the same time, King John continues to develop advanced missiles and display military power.

As you can see, there’s a lot ahead of us.

So, let’s dive into the details.

I’m Pinto.

With me is Mati Shosani and we are boots on the ground.

We bring you the full truth about what’s happening in Israel.

And this is day 37 of the war against the revolutionary guards in Iran, which is the head of the crumbling axis of evil in the Middle East.

And one second before we begin, I want to call on you to keep spreading the truth.

Share our content with as many people as possible.

Click on the subscribe button and most importantly, don’t forget to look for me, Y Pinto, and for Mati Shashani on our social media networks to get the behindthescene look of what it’s like to live in Israel during this war.

Mati, are you with us? >> I am with you, Y.

First, I’d like to start by complimenting your >> I’d like to start by complimenting you for your color choice tonight.

Yeah, good colors.

>> What’s up, Y? >> I’m good, Mati.

And it looks like that the Middle East affair is basically shifting up again.

Like first of all, with this announcement that the operation was just a distraction to basically take the uranium.

That’s like I think a big a big claim by the regime that all of this search for the pilot was just a distraction for the Iranians.

Let’s start with that.

What do you think about that? >> One, it’s it’s if it’s a conspiracy theory, it’s outlandish.

If it’s true, it’s unbelievable.

So, here’s here’s what the IRGC are claiming.

>> And and they’re not the only ones, by the way.

I’ve seen several people online in the last like five, six hours spreading this rumor.

They’re saying that there was a large contingency of special forces operators in a place unrelated completely to the search and rescue efforts both for the pilot and for the weapon system officer.

Uh so they were removed about 100 km so let’s say 60 mi away give or take in a site that is suspected to have buried enriched uranium as in the entire thing was a ploy to hide it.

Now again we need to be clear here there was a plane that crashed.

We’ve seen the footage of the plane that crashed there.

There was We haven’t seen the images of the people that were rescued yet.

But >> again, it’s quite an outlandish uh claim, >> but maybe uh just maybe.

And they connect it.

And this is again, I’m not saying this is the truth.

This is the rumor that’s been spread both by the Iranian regime and several media outlets.

Let’s say not topshelf media outlets around the world.

They’re saying that some of the uh firing instances of of high uppers of generals within the American armed forces are related to the level of risk that the American armed forces have been taking in this operation.

Again, we don’t know that this is true, Yale, but this has been presented by the Iranian government as reality, claiming that they not only were looking for but possibly even extracted some of the enriched uranium.

I don’t think this is true.

I I have to say I think this sounds a little too far-fetched uh to be reality, but maybe we’re wrong.

Who knows? Y in this so much has happened that it’s it’s hard to keep track of what’s possible and what’s impossible at this point.

>> Yeah, definitely Mati.

And like we have I would say around 4 hours until the Trump ultimatum expires and then we start bridge day and power station day.

Right? That’s the the two major strikes and targets that the United States will begin attacking if the Iranians will not agree to the terms to open the Strait of Homus.

So when we’re really in this bizarre situation, I just want to clarify something you just said.

>> The the latest headlines and I’m talking in the last few minutes >> are saying again when we were talking about this yesterday.

I think the analysis we both gave was it’s going to go one of two ways.

One, the Iranians are going to pretend like there’s progress in the negotiation to try and delay time or there’s going to be a mass bombardment of strategic facilities.

So just now uh the the headline is is that Trump is extending by another 24 hours uh the deadline on the entire uh on the entire strike and there are reports coming out of Iran exactly as we predicted by the way uh that the negotiation is progressing and this small delay is to give the negotiation
teams time to um you know to hash out the details etc and create some kind of uh short-term ceasefire agreement where they can discuss the nuclear you know the uh the proxies the ballistic missiles, all the good things that the Iranians love to spread around the world.

All the love they love, I’m being seizure to spread around the world.

So, we’re in this really bizarre situation where it keeps getting pushed back.

This time, maybe the deadline is actually legitimate.

I’m I’m not entirely sure.

Again, these are just really initial snippets of news that are that are coming out.

And we’ve been talking about multiple countries being the mediators.

This time it’s Pakistan from what I’ve heard that is talking about being the go between the Iranians and the Americans.

But look, I mean literally an hour after this, you know, this hits the air and this, you know, this is done, it might be a different headline that comes out.

This is moving very, very quickly.

Let’s analyze what we’re really talking about here.

This is really the important part.

This can only go one of two ways.

Uh, one way is the Iranians keep stalling.

There is no scenario in the foreseeable future unless something very dramatic happens where the Iranian Ayatollah regime will say we repent for our evil ways.

We’re going to stop uh seeking a nuclear bomb.

We will stop spreading terrorism throughout the region.

We will stop spending tens of billions of dollars from our uh illegal and illicit petrol money on you know creating proxies.

That’s not going to happen anytime soon.

Uh they’re not planning to do that.

They’ve been clear about not planning to do that.

And then that only leads one other thing.

Uh substantial military action to further weaken the Iranian Ayatollah regime.

Why is that? Because they’ve been clear from the get-go.

By the way, they don’t plan to open the street of humus.

They believe that nuclear uh clean energy, I’m very very very cynical air quotes over here because it’s not for it’s not for energy.

It’s for bomb purposes.

And everyone knows that including them.

They even are winking.

they can’t help the wink when they say those kind of things or the laugh.

Uh the the nuclear aspect, the straight of Hummus, which we said, and of course the proxy and the ballistic missiles, they’re key components of their foreign policy.

This isn’t detached from the way they do government.

This is the way they do foreign policy in the Iranian regime.

And the Americans have clearly stated you have to depart from those things for us to be able to move forward with the negotiation.

So that’s not going to happen in that sense.

That leads us to President Trump having to take a substantial attack or strike against key facilities within Iran.

What does that look like? It looks like in the first minutes going after electrical grid, going after oil refineries and distribution, going after docking facilities or loading facilities such as the aisle of KG where the Iranians will want to move the oil to create, and I’m going to emphasize this word, short-term damage to key Iranian infrastructure.

Why short term? Because the goal of the Iranian of the American government here is not to bring down the long-term Iranian economy.

Why? Because Iran has enormous deposits of oil and natural gas.

The US The last thing the US wants to do is to perpetuate a situation where there’s a natural gas and oil shortage globally.

That’s not what something they’re they’re pursuing.

But short-term, very possible.

So again, go and knock out key grid components.

What does that mean? That means what Israel did a couple days ago, which is knock out the distribution uh facilities for the grid.

Things that can be fixed, but not in a matter of days, in a matter of months.

Knock out uh components of the oil industry.

What is that? where the ships connect uh the oil carriers, where they connect in Kag Island, possibly the pipes that lead to one of the oil facilities or the loading facilities for the ship, maybe a refinery uh within Iran, maybe a storage facility or several storage facilities.

There’s quite a lot that the US can do without starting to just arbitrarily bomb uh government related facilities in uh in Iran that will cause substantial damage.

really the the careful balance that the US has to play here is figuring out a way and and I don’t have an answer for this.

Yeah.

I want to be clear about that.

Figuring out a way where they can force the hand of the Iranian regime to know completely that there is no option but to uh open completely the straight of Hum and yet not do what Trump has threatened, not do what Hagsath has threatened, which is take them back to the stone age.

That will be very bad news for the people of Iran long term.

It’s not good for regime change either, by the way.

I mean, it weaken the government, but it makes it almost impossible to rebuild without spending tens of billions of dollars in in rebuilding the infrastructure of Iran.

And there’s one more component here, which is the global economy component.

The reason that closing the street of Hummus works for the Iranians is because it puts a chokeold on the oil supply and the natural gas supply of the world.

By bombing all the natural gas facilities in Iran, we’re just gen generating and uh perpetuating that situation, making sure that there will be a shortage also long-term globally.

That’s not a good thing.

So, there’s this really fine balance of causing enough damage, but not too much.

So, it’s an impossible situation to recover from.

Not an easy place to be in, but yet there really isn’t much to do aside from guarantee that the straight of Hummus opens.

One last thought on this which is to talk about the the morality of this entire uh operation and I need to say this.

I’ve been spending some time which is usually a mistake looking at some of the comments that uh we have both on our YouTube and on our uh personal social media platforms.

There are a lot of people out there that seem to think that the aggressor here is Israel and the United States who are attacking in Iran.

And we need to be clear here.

Uh if we didn’t attack in Iran now, one of two things would happen.

Iran would be able to launch many more ballistic missiles at Israel, ultimately reaching the point where they can launch a nuclear bomb on a ballistic missile all the way to Europe, definitely to Israel.

and they’ve said clearly that they plan to do that if they had the capability or two where we would have to take the same preemptive action against them but 6 months down the line or 12 months down the line when they have more air defenses now they’ve spent more time
preparing for the war they’ve hidden away more ballistic missiles and they’re closer to a nuclear bomb or have a nuclear bomb so one way or another we’re not playing the same game here and I want to say one last thing the Iranians have been targeting Israeli civilians and civilians of other Gulf states Israel and the United states are doing everything we can not to harm civilian life in Iran.

Very different game here, very different methodology as an army.

Very different morality behind the way we operate and they operate.

We’re not the same thing.

We’re not two sides of the same coin.

It’s a completely different game where their goal is destruction and our goal is nation building and saving the people of Iran.

not the same game, not the same value, not the same set of beliefs, and definitely not the same justification when it comes to to the morality of this war.

>> Few hours ago, we had a >> No, I I I understand exactly.

I just wanted to to point to the fact that it was just cleared for publication that the four Israelis that were in the building in Kifa in which a Iranian missile hit landed a direct hit lost their lives.

And just a few hours ago, you, me, and our entire team spent a Passover barbecue meal in my area.

And also we had to go to a bomb shelter because of an incoming missile.

And can you explain to our viewers the fact that despite the aerial defensive systems, the Iron Dome, Arrow, David Sling, and all the protection that we have, it’s not hermetic.

And some of these missiles do penetrate these defenses and cause enormous damage.

>> Yeah.

I I mean it’s it’s a it’s a fairly complicated situation where you know air defense systems are supposed to work at a 70 to 80% accuracy you know on a good day and then with with added redundancy of let’s call it the long range with the middle range and the short range uh missile systems this is in in multiple countries not just Israel you hope to reach a rate that’s higher than that Israel’s been pushing uh high 90s uh high 90 percentile of intercepts across Ross the board for you know quite a season now both this war and past
engagements with the Iranians but every once in a while uh it’s not perfect.

Every once in a while the weather conditions are one way or another.

Uh the the radar situation is one way or another.

The assets that are available at that moment are one way or another and something comes through.

Sometimes it’s a large warhead.

Most of the time, by the way, most of the hits that have hit the ground in Israel have not been large ballistic missiles.

What they’ve been has been uh the smaller type of missiles.

Uh the type of ballistic missiles that that drop cluster bombs.

So they’re bombs that are this size or this size.

I want to see how wide I can go on the frame here.

Uh not >> that’s it.

You’re out of the frame.

You’re already out of the frame.

Okay.

Now you have a full screen wide or this or this.

Thank you.

Or this big.

This big or this big.

Uh I’m looking at the the monitor here in the corner of my eye.

Uh so so not very big.

Most of what falls in Tel Aviv are these cluster munitions where what they do is they launch them and you know when they’re some way somewhere very high altitude.

They split into it depends on the number a dozen or more of these small we call them bomblets you know smaller uh components of the bomb.

They hit.

They don’t cause a lot of damage to buildings, but it’s enough shrapnel and blast to punch through a car or definitely to severely harm civilians that are walking in the streets, which forces large population groups to run in and out of, you know, safe spaces time and time again during the day.

Well, you mentioned in Hifa, by the way, me and you know, a videographer who lives a couple blocks away from that, he sent me a picture this morning.

uh Dudu, if you remember him, uh sent me a picture this morning saying this was was a couple hundred meters away from uh from his home.

Uh so again, this is this is something that can happen in a time of war.

It’s very unfortunate.

Our air defenses have been amazing.

Just to note here, Israel has developed, deployed, and used to a high grade of success multiple versions of air defense systems from the short range laser systems.

Iron Dome, David Sling, Arrow, and there’s one more that I’m missing.

>> Arrow one, two, three.

>> Yeah, se several of the arrow variants.

Thank you, Yah.

A whole a whole slew of systems that all work together.

They’re so good that there are countries around the world that are lined up to buy those very same systems from us.

We did that at our own expense.

By the way, the United States did not pay for this.

They paid later on for the rapid deployment and expansion of the Iron Dome system.

But these systems were developed by Israel over several decades, by the way.

And there were people who doubted the necessity of them.

Thank God people put the money into into developing these systems.

And for the most part, they work.

They work to defend the people of Israel.

And I want to say one last thing.

Yeah, think about it from this perspective.

We were talking about this the other day.

Uh what would happen if Israel doesn’t didn’t have these air defense systems? >> What would the war look like? >> What would we we be forced to do in self-defense if ballistic missiles were hitting the ground in Israel every time they were launched towards Israel and we weren’t able to intercept them? If every time a ballistic missile was launched and hit, there were 20, 30, 50 civilians who would be uh injured or possibly killed from that ballistic missile,
there would be nothing that we wouldn’t do to stop that kind of attack.

Uh nothing we wouldn’t do to to go after the leadership of Iran.

And when I say nothing, I mean everything would be on the table.

Uh and we need to keep that in mind.

The fact that we’re so good at defending ourselves is what saves the lives of people in our enemy states.

uh because if we weren’t able to defend ourselves, we would have to go I mean, as Trump said it, uh send them back to the stone age simply because we’d have to defend ourselves.

So, we’re in a very precarious situation here.

Uh again, we’ve been thankfully protected by these missile systems and God who’s been protecting the people of Israel.

But still, uh we need to stop the Iranian ballistic missile threat.

We need to stop it from we need to stop it from the and we need to make sure this is a goal that we should be have our eye on.

make sure they don’t have a chance to get back to this capability 2 years, 5 years, 10 years down the line.

They need to lose that ability.

They need to lose the motivation, the money, and the ability to do this anytime in the future.

>> Yeah, definitely, Mati.

Well, thank you so much for this breakdown, and we’ll see you again tomorrow.

>> Thank you.

>> So, that was the one and only Mati Shashani, our very own senior Middle East correspondent here at TBN Israel.

Yeah, that’s our name.

We are TBN Israel and we report multiple times every single day about what’s happening in Israel, what’s happening in the Middle East, what’s happening in the war between the US, Israel and Iran.

And if you want to look at this war through our eyes behind the scenes, look for Yinto and Mati Shashani on our social media platforms to see how it is to live in Israel under this wall.

And now as I’m speaking, many people in Israel are running to bomb shelters again, especially in the northern community, the northern border between Israel and Lebanon.

And when those missiles stop falling, the first people that head out into the streets are the volunteers of Meandom, Isa’s first responders.

While families were hiding, Maganda Vida Dome medics were already moving towards the impact sites, treating the wounded, stopping the bleeding, evacuating the injured, saving lives.

That’s what they do every time.

No hesitation.

But responding to a war like this takes more than just courage.

It takes ambulances, protective gear, trauma equipment, and also train teams, that’s very important, that are ready to move within seconds.

And that readiness depends on support and donations entirely.

So if you want to stand with the people who run towards danger to save others, go to

Again, that’s save.

help make sure that Manda Vida dome stays equipped, prepared, and ready because when the next siren sounds, they are ready on their way to help.

Now, let’s get back to the news because in recent hours, launches from Iran towards central Israel and the Tel Aviv area have resumed.

while fire from Lebanon into northern Israel was also continuing.

As the Israeli home front once again entered protected spaces, including me and our team here in the area of my house, Thran observed blow after blow.

And overnight, Israel raised the stakes again with targeted illuminations deep inside the security system of the revolutionary guards.

The question now is not only what was fired, but what will happen the moment that the time Trump gave Iran runs out.

This is day 37 of the Roaring Lion War and this day is closing with two tracks moving forward at the same time.

The first is a military pressure track, senior assassinations, deep strikes, the crushing of oil, steel, prochemicals, missiles, and air defensive systems.

The second is the deadline track, a temporary ceasefire proposal that was rejected.

An Iranian response with new conditions and an American president saying plainly that the final hour for a deal has been set and that it is final.

So let us begin with the overweight blow.

Overnight, two of the most senior dangerous figures in Iran’s operational system were eliminated in Thran.

The first was Majid Kadami, the head of the Revolutionary Guards intelligence organization.

The second was Ashgar Bagari, the commander of unit 840.

Kadami was appointed only in June 2025 after his predecessor was also eliminated.

Bagari headed a covert operational unit responsible for planning and carrying out terror attacks and assassinations outside Iran’s borders.

This was not just another strike on a fieldle commander.

This was a strike at the head that holds both the eyes and the long arms of this regime.

Kadami was not merely a senior intelligence officer.

He was one of the most important surviving operational figures in the regime.

In February, he accused Trump of fueling unrest in Iran and claimed that Israel and foreign intelligence services were behind the protests.

Now, he himself has been eliminated in the heart of Thran.

For Israel, this is both an operational achievement and a psychological message.

for the regime.

It is another blow deepening the sense of persecution at the top.

Unit 840 which Bahi commanded deserves a brief pause because it explains why this assassination is considered so significant.

This is not a routine headquarters unit.

This is a unit of terror operations, covert activities, mercenary, recruitment of terrorists, intermediary networks, and the dispatching of cells against Israelis and against Jews abroad.

Over the past year, attempts to smuggle advanced weapons into Judea and Samaria through Syria were also exposed along with recruitment methods based on exploiting the economic hardships of locals who often did not even know that they were working for Iran.

When the commander of such a unit is eliminated in Tehran, this is not just a pinpointed hit.

It is a blow to the entire mechanism that exports terror outward.

Defense Minister Israel Kas described it this morning in one short sharp sentence.

We eliminated the head of Iranian intelligence and we will continue hunting them one by one.

He immediately connected these eliminations to the broader strikes on Iran’s national infrastructure.

In other words, these are not two separate lines.

Israel is not only cutting off the heads, it is also breaking the floor that they are standing on.

That is especially visible when you look at what is happening to the revolutionary guards money system.

Prime Minister Binyam Netanyao said today that Israel is systematically dismantling the revolutionary guards money machine.

He spoke about the largest prochemical plant in Iran that is being destroyed.

He spoke about operatives being eliminated and about senior officials continuing to fall.

Above all, he connected the strike on the industry to the strike on war fighting ability.

Because in Iran in 2026, money is not just a budget.

Money is fuel for missiles, drones, a terror proxy, the Houthis, another terror proxy, and even arm for the regime’s proxy networks in Iraq and other places.

And this connects directly to another elimination that he’s already discussed over the past day.

Muhammad Raz Ashrafi Khaki, the man responsible for oil deals worth billions of dollars in the Revolutionary Guard’s oil headquarters.

The money that he managed to finance, brought in, financed the ballistic missile array and the regime’s drone fleet as well as Hamas, the Houthis, and other terrorist groups.

When Isa eliminates him and then eliminates the head of the intelligence and the commander of unit 840, it is effectively striking three levels of the same system.

Intelligence, terror, operations, and money.

And above all of this, the broad aerial effort is also continuing.

And over the past day, the Israeli air force struck more than 120 weapon systems and regime assets, including ballistic missile sites, air defensive systems, and drone sites.

The objective here is clear.

To open the way further for future strikes, reduce the threat to fighter aircrafts, and erode Iran’s ability to keep firing over time.

This is not just the destruction of targets.

It is preparation of the battlefield for the next phase if and when a green light is given to expand the strikes even further.

And that brings us to the clock.

Iran rejected today the American proposal for a temporary cease file.

According to the reports, the after two weeks of discussions, it returned a 10point document of demands back to the United States.

Thran is demanding a permanent end to this war, national reconstruction, sanctions relief, and a new safe passage arrangements in the straight of Homus.

In other words, Iran is not willing to accept a short ceasefire that would give the Americans temporary quiet while leaving Iran’s leverage cards on the table.

Trump called the proposal significant but not good enough and made clear that his deadline for reaching a deal is final.

And according to the timeline that has been published, the deadline falls in the early hours of Wednesday morning, 3:00 a.

m.

Israel time.

At this point, it is worth pausing to understand exactly what Trump is threatening to destroy if there is no deal.

In a series of statements and posts, he spoke not only about power stations, he also mentioned bridges, old facilities, Karag Island through which most of the Iranian oil exports is passing through and even desalination facilities.

The Damand power plant, one of the largest in Iran, has been mentioned as a possible target as well.

So major bridges between Thran and Karaj have already appeared as military logistical targets and were destroyed.

And Karag Island itself is seen in Washington as a strategic choice point.

In short, if the deadline expires without the deal, the threat is not merely another round of strikes.

The threat is the disabling of the state’s functionality.

On the Iranian side, at least outwardly, there’s no panic.

Parliament Speaker Muhammad Khalibbuff has already warned that the whole region will burn.

The regime has reportedly threatened that any strike on civilian infrastructure in Iran will be answered with strikes on civilian infrastructure in Israel and in the Gulf States.

And to sharpen the mockery, Iranian embassies around the world join in as well.

The embassy called for Trump to declared to be declared unfit.

Another embassy wrote to him, “Calm down, tiger.

” Another embassy, Iranian embassy in India wrote, “Control yourself, old man.

” For Thran, this is a war of consciousness, no less than a war of missiles.

As long as they cannot stop the threat, they’re trying to at least ridicule it.

But behind that mockery lays also a real pressure because today as the interimm proposal was projected.

Another suspicion began surfacing again in Tehran.

Perhaps the rescue operation for the American air crew member was not only a rescue operation.

In recent hours, voices have emerged that claimed that the entire event was a sophisticated deception.

It must be said clearly there is no confirmation of this and no proof that the rescue mission was meant for something else.

But the fact that in parallel the American Israeli operation of trying to seize roughly 450 kilomes of enriched uranium if diplomacy collapses has also come up is feeding that suspicion inside Iran.

That is why Thran is trying to connect two things.

the deep rescue operation on its soil and the fear of losing what remains of it enriched uranium stockpile.

In the middle of all of this, Trump threw in yet another extraordinary remark today.

He claimed that the United States had previously sent weapons through the Kurds in order to arm the Iranian people, but that the weapons remained with the Kurds.

That statement does not change the immediate battlefield picture, but it does add another layer to the American message.

Washington is not only threatening from the outside, it also wants the regime to understand that any internal front against it is of interest.

Trump even said that if civilians in Iran had weapons, they could bring down the regime within two days.

It is a dramatic statement and it fits the same method.

external pressure, military threat and open encouragement of instability from within.

That also explains why the rescue of the American air crew member was so important to the White House.

Prime Minister Netanyao revealed today that Trump thanked him for the Israeli assistance in this operation.

He said that the president praised Israel and said, “You guys are great.

” From Washington’s perspective, that rescue closed a loose end before the point of decision.

Because as long as an American EU member remained on Iranian soil, the regime held a psychological, operational, and political card.

Now, after the rescue, the United States can move into the final hours of the deadline without an American captive on enemy ground.

So the energy market is already reacting as if escalation is further along because Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil exporter, has raised the price of its flagship crude grade for the Asian market to a historic premium.

Behind this stands both the market and the shock and the hummus blockage.

Because of the security situation, Saudi exports are moving increasingly through Yanbu on the Red Sea coast rather than through the Gulf.

The Saudi pipeline reaches a capacity of about 7 million barrels per day and from it nearly 5 million barrels per day are already flowing.

In other words, Riyad is not only watching the wall, it is already building a route around it.

And the Saudi response does not stop at oil pricing.

Jordan and Saudi Arabia announced today that they support Lebanon’s efforts to disarm, another terroxy of Iran in Lebanon.

At the same time, they condemned Iranian aggression and the violation of the Gulf States sovereignty.

That matters because it is another sign of regional change.

Not everyone is speaking the same language about Israel, but more and more Arab states are speaking openly against Iran and against Hisbala’s nonstate arsenal.

For Thran, this is another layer of isolation.

For Hisbala, it is another warning that its regional backing is less solid than before.

And if that were not enough, North Korea is suddenly keeping its distance as well.

According to the assessments that surfaced, Pingyang has not transferred weapons or equipment to Iran since the war began.

Did not publish an official message of condolences over the killing of Kamini the Elder and did not rush to congratulate Muchapa.

Instead, it has been careful not to destroy the chance of improving relations with Donald Trump.

That does not mean that King Jan has become a friend of Washington.

Far from it, he continues developing missiles and projecting power.

But it does mean that even in the broader axis, Iran is discovering that not every old ally is willing to pay a price right now.

And that is why in the coming hours it might look like a crosshairs because if Iran does not move, Washington may shift from words to infrastructure.

If it does move, it will only be at the price that it is still refusing to pay.

And meanwhile, Israel continues operating according to a clear method.

Dismantle the firing capability.

Dismantle the mounting mechanisms.

dismantle the intelligence leadership and make sure that when the moment of decision comes, Iran weenate, weaker, blinder, and poorer.

The bottom line of this day is simple.

Iran rejected the ceasefire, lost two more senior leaders, and now sees the American deadline approaching while a direct threat over its electricity, bridges, oil, and water systems.

And if the does not this time either will the night between Tuesday and Wednesday become the moment when the war moves from attrition into paralysis.
