BREAKING: Netanyahu may ‘exploit’ Hebron attack to delay elections in occupied West Bank Akiva Eldar, an Israeli political analyst, says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been “doing everything” to provoke Palestinians before Tuesday’s Israeli elections. Eldar told Al Jazeera that Netanyahu’s strategy relies on deepening the conflict to serve his political interests. “What [Netanyahu] needs is escalation. He has been doing everything in order to provoke, if not Iran, the Palestinians, by rhetoric and his support for the violent settlers,” Eldar said. Eldar argued that Netanyahu could potentially exploit the attack in Hebron to halt the elections by claiming Israeli citizens are no longer safe in the occupied West Bank. “He may even argue that since this attack happened, we cannot hold the elections in the occupied West Bank,” he added. “He will try even to go to court and to use even the emergency law to say that.”

Reports indicate that at last Monday's meeting between Peter Hegseth and Netanyahu in Tel Aviv, representatives from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain were also present. This meeting was about planning an attack on Iran. Middle east is in the state of war, Since US-Israel attacked Iran. If US attacks Iran, Iran will definitely respond and Upcoming respond can be bigger. Iran also says the internet Cables which passes through it will be cutted off. Why they want to attack Iran?

According to Palestinian news agency Wafa, On Thursday: Israeli forces have arrested at least 36 Palestinians across the occupied West Bank, including a former female prisoner, farmers and solidarity activists.

BREAKING: Jared Kushner’s allegedly hacked iPhone exposed a reported network of secret bank accounts and financial dealings involving powerful Gulf leaders, according to a bombshell investigation. The report alleges that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) and UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed (MBZ) discussed funding a secret initiative worth more than $10 billion, with at least $2 billion reportedly directed into accounts intended for Kushner’s use. The allegations raise serious questions about foreign influence in the Trump administration as Kushner remains involved in US diplomacy over Iran.

WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT? At approximately 23:05 local time (19:35 UTC), a US Air Force MQ-9A Reaper reportedly targeted an IRGC launch team operating drone and cruise missile launch platforms in the hills near Sirik, southern Iran. Casualties were reportedly recorded. Shortly after, at around 23:06 local time (19:36 UTC), air defences in Sirik activated, with several reports of consecutive explosions. Later, at around 01:31 local time (22:01 UTC), a second vehicle-mounted missile launcher belonging to the IRGC was targeted in Sirik. At the same time this was going down, several IAF (Israeli Air Force) fighter squadrons accompanied by aerial refuelling aircraft departed Ramat David Air Base and Nevatim Air Base in Israel heading east. Heavy fighter aircraft activity was recorded throughout the night over Israel, Syria, Jordan, northeastern Iraq, along the Iranian border. At one point, IAF and US fighter aircraft operated just 14km from Iran’s border. In a likely response to IAF/US aerial movements, IRIAF (Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force) fighter jets took off, establishing CAPs (Combat Air Patrols) in western Tehran and in West Azerbaijan Province along the Iran-Iraq border.

Israel and the United States will almost certainly attack Iran once again. This will mark the final chapter of this war. Through this attack, Trump and Netanyahu will fully carry out the threats they have made over the past few months—specifically, they will destroy Iran’s energy and oil infrastructure. This is intended to inflict massive economic and social damage on the country, leaving millions of Iranians without electricity and rendering Iran unable to export oil. Following this, Trump will declare victory and withdraw from the Strait of Hormuz—a presence that is currently causing him enormous financial losses. Russia and China will, of course, reconstruct the Iranian infrastructure in record time, despite Trump’s claims that it would take ten years. It took China 20 years to build up the entire nation, lift 800 million people out of extreme poverty, and increase its GDP from $1 trillion to $16 trillion; Iran’s energy infrastructure will be sorted out in a maximum of 2 years. In the meantime, "Iran will stockpile vast quantities of weapons and ammunition, while making significant advancements in military equipment, communications, and logistics". Within a maximum of five years, the country will have become such a formidable military power that the Gulf states and other Israel-aligned states will have no choice but to cooperate. The noose around Israel will tighten significantly.

BREAKING: Iran’s IRGC Navy now announces that it struck four oil vessels in the northern Persian Gulf and that three more hit naval mines near the Strait of Hormuz, bringing the total to seven vessels reportedly targeted in a single night, as Brent crude surges above $111 per barrel, nearing $112, per the IRGC statement. The IRGC says the four vessels were hit simultaneously while conducting ship-to-ship oil transfers and caught fire, while the other three allegedly struck mines west of the Strait. Meanwhile, oil markets are under mounting pressure, with Brent crude climbing above $111 per barrel toward $112, with further increases expected as Trump reportedly weighs a preemptive strike on Iran.
