- Trump tonight
If Iran surrenders, admits their Navy is gone and resting at the bottom of the sea, and their Air Force is no longer with us, and if their entire Military walks out of Tehran, weapons dropped and hands held high, each shouting “I surrender, I surrender” while wildly waving the representative White Flag, and if their entire remaining Leadership signs all necessary “Documents of Surrender,” and admit their defeat to the great power and force of the magnificent U.S.A., The Failing New York Times, The China Street Journal (WSJ!), Corrupt and now Irrelevant CNN, and all other members of the Fake News Media, will headline that Iran had a Masterful and Brilliant Victory over The United States of America, it wasn’t even close. The Dumacrats and Media have totally lost their way. They have gone absolutely CRAZY!!! President DJT

- Trump: I had a conversation with Bibi Netanyahu today, asking him not to go into a major raid of Beirut, Lebanon. He turned his Troops around. Thank you Bibi! I also had a conversation with Representatives of the Leaders of Hezbollah, and they agreed to stop shooting at Israel, and its soldiers. Likewise, Israel agreed to stop shooting at them. Let’s see how long that lasts — Hopefully it will be for ETERNITY! President DONALD J. TRUMP
- US President Donald Trump reportedly lashed out at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a phone call on Monday, as he demanded that Israel agree to a ceasefire with Hezbollah and claimed the premier owes him for keeping him out of jail. Axios cites a US official summarizing Trump’s message to Netanyahu as follows: “You’re.. crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this
- A IDF medical officer was killed and seven others were wounded in a Hezbollah explosive drone attack in southern Lebanon on Monday. Dr. Ori Yosef Silvester, 30, from Tel Aviv
He was the 14th soldier killed since the renewed fighting with Hezbollah.
- PM Netanyahu after the conversation with Trump: "I spoke tonight with President Trump and told him that if Hezbollah does not stop attacking our cities and citizens, Israel will strike terror targets in Beirut. Our position remains unchanged. Meanwhile, the IDF will continue to operate as planned in southern Lebanon."
- The IDF is striking Hezbollah positions in the south of Lebanon.
- According to the president of Lebanon, the deal is that Israel CAN attack everywhere except the Dahieh (Beirut), and in exchange Hezbollah does not attack Israel. At the same time, Israel's Defense Minister announces that the destruction of Shiite villages to the ground will continue- Following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a new ceasefire in Lebanon, an Israeli source tells the Ynet news site that Israel has postponed the planned strikes on Beirut at the request of the United States, adding that Washington is advancing a ceasefire initiative and asked Israel to wait.
-Trump: “I had a very productive call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, and there will be no Troops going to Beirut, and any Troops that are on their way, have already been turned back. Likewise, through highly placed Representatives, I had a very good call with Hezbollah, and they agreed that all shooting will stop — That Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel. President DONALD J. TRUMP”
-The IDF strike in Beirut is on hold pending a decision to be made on this call - N12
- Trump to NBC: "I didn't hear that the Iranian representatives said that (halting negotiations). To tell the truth, in my opinion, we are talking too much - silence would be very good."
- Iranain News Agency Tasnim: "In light of Israel's actions in Lebanon and considering that Lebanon was part of the ceasefire conditions and now the ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon, has been violated, the Iranian negotiation team is stopping the talks and the exchange of messages through the mediator."
- Trump: Iran really wants to make a deal, and it will be a good one for the U.S.A. and those that are with us. But don’t the Dumocrats, and various seemingly unpatriotic Republicans, understand that it is MUCH tougher for me to properly do my job and negotiate, when political hacks keep negatively “chirping,” at levels never seen before, over and over again, that I should move faster, or move slower, or go to war, or not go to war, or whatever. Just sit back and relax, it will all work out well in the end - It always does! President DJT
- Netanyahu: "There will be no situation where Hezbollah attacks our cities and citizens, and the terrorist headquarters in Dahiyya will remain out of touch.”

Its violation on one front is a violation of the ceasefire on all fronts. The US and Israel are responsible for the consequences of any violation.”
