❗️Araghchi says Americans are 'sick and tired’ of Israel dragging US into ‘forever wars’ Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called out US President Donald Trump following statements attributing Republican midterm election losses to public hostility toward Israel, asserting that the US electorate has grown exhausted with being manipulated into regional military campaigns. Reacting on social media to a clip from Trump’s interview on CBS News' 60 Minutes, Tehran's top diplomat highlighted the stark contradiction between Washington's policy decisions and domestic public opinion. "POTUS clearly recognizes that the vast majority of Americans are disgusted with Israel. Strikingly, he seems confused about why that’s the case," Araghchi wrote. "Americans are evidently sick and tired of Israel bamboozling US administrations into Forever Wars. They had enough. So has our region." Araghchi's remarks directly address the domestic fallout within the US as the joint US-Israeli military escalation against Tehran continues to trigger severe global economic instability, energy price hikes, and direct military entanglements across the region.

❗️IRGC Navy disables US-escorted navigational systems, halts unauthorized oil transit in southern Hormuz The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy announced today that unapproved ship-to-ship oil transfers through the unauthorized southern corridor of the Strait of Hormuz have been completely halted. IRIB, citing an anonymous IRGC Navy official, reports that Iranian defense forces successfully neutralized key navigational assistance systems installed along the southern rock formations of the strait. The targeted installations had been utilized by non-compliant vessels attempting to bypass Iranian maritime authority under US naval escort. "Following the destruction of enemy navigational aid systems on the southern rocks of the Strait of Hormuz, no offending vessel was able to enter the illegal passage last night, and the flow of oil smuggling through this passage was completely stopped," the official declared. The operation marks a significant escalation in Tehran's strict enforcement of maritime sovereignty across the strategic chokepoint following the launch of the US-Israeli war on Iran. While Washington and regional allies have attempted to organize ship-to-ship transfers under armed US naval escorts along unapproved routes, the IRGC Navy has repeatedly warned that all non-compliant vessels operating outside the designated Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) framework face immediate interception, mine encounters, or targeted naval fire.

❗️A senior Qatari official has dismissed news reports concerning Iran's uranium enrichment and the unfreezing of assets as "categorically false." Speaking to Al Jazeera, the official said, "Reports circulating online claiming to reveal details of the proposal shared with the United States and Iran – including claims relating to uranium enrichment, the release of frozen Iranian assets, mediation efforts in Yemen and other issues – are categorically false."

❗️️️️️️️Statement by Hamas: "The Israeli occupation bears full responsibility for the catastrophe caused by the collapse of a sand embankment onto displaced Palestinians’ tents in Deir al-Balah, which resulted in deaths and injuries. The policies of siege and preventing the entry of aid, tents, and reconstruction materials have exacerbated the humanitarian tragedy and caused repeated disasters affecting civilians. Confining more than two million Palestinians to less than one-third of the Gaza Strip’s area threatens further humanitarian disasters and requires urgent international intervention to stop the aggression and lift the siege."

❗️Pompeo downplays Trump's pledge to cut US military aid to Israel, says 'there will still be lots of assistance' Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo minimized concerns surrounding the Trump administration's pledge to cut $4 billion in annual military assistance to Israel after this year, asserting that bilateral ties remain structural and uninterrupted. Speaking before the Jewish Federations of North America in Washington, DC, Pompeo stated that whether formal military funding is allocated remains secondary to the fundamental alignment between the US and Israel. "Whether we provide that particular aid, there will still be deep connectivity," Pompeo told the advocacy group. "There will still be lots of assistance, and there will be a partnership that is historically important, not just for Israel but for the United States of America as well." Drawing on his tenure in the first Trump administration, Pompeo emphasized that institutional, intelligence, and defense links between Washington and Tel Aviv transcend public budgetary announcements. The comments come amid growing friction within the US political establishment, where public frustration over military spending across the region and rising energy costs has fueled calls to scale back direct foreign aid to Israel. However, Pompeo's remarks reinforce the reality of Washington's bipartisan commitment to Tel Aviv, demonstrating that reductions in formal aid lines do not signify an end to US diplomatic, intelligence, or military backing.

❗️Sand embankment in Gaza collapses and crushes displacement tents, killing five Palestinians, including children Five Palestinians, including three children and two women, were killed in central Gaza after heavy winter downpours triggered the collapse of a sand cliff onto makeshift displacement tents. The structural collapse occurred in Deir al-Balah, where hundreds of displaced families have been forced to settle in unstable coastal dunes lacking basic infrastructure due to the ongoing Israeli blockade. According to medical sources quoted by WAFA and reports by Gaza’s Civil Defense, the collapse buried multiple families under heavy sand and debris, leaving several others injured and requiring ongoing extraction efforts by rescue teams and local residents. The tragedy compounds an accelerating humanitarian crisis across the Gaza Strip as a severe winter storm inundates makeshift camps with floodwaters.

VIDEO | "They didn't like the war. And there's a great dislike, incredibly, for Israel." US President Donald Trump acknowledged on Sunday that public backlash against the ongoing US-Israeli military campaign across the region, soaring domestic energy costs, and an expanding antipathy toward Israel drove the Republican Party’s defeat in the US midterm elections. Speaking during an interview broadcast on CBS News' 60 Minutes, Trump reflected on the electoral setback, attempting to distance his personal brand from down-ballot losses while pointing to the geopolitical and economic fallout of Washington's war effort. "I think if I was on the ballot, it would've been a much different situation," Trump claimed during the exchange. "But there's something beyond that. They didn't like the war. They didn't like the fact that gasoline went up ... And there's a great dislike, incredibly, for Israel."

❗️US attack on Qeshm Island caused no damage to critical infrastructure, Iranian officials confirm US forces executed overnight missile strikes targeting open areas on Iran's strategic Qeshm Island near the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, failing to inflict any damage on vital public service infrastructure or civilian facilities. Speaking to state broadcaster IRIB, Ahmad Nafisi, the deputy governor of Hormozgan province for political, security, and social affairs, confirmed that the American projectiles struck unpopulated zones outside all residential, commercial, and utility sectors. "No damage was caused to the island's vital and service infrastructure," Nafisi stated, adding that municipal services and daily life continue uninterrupted. "The situation on Qeshm Island is fully under control, and all relief, executive, and security agencies remain on high alert." Local media reported that at least four explosions were heard across the island late Sunday evening as air defenses engaged incoming foreign fire. Iranian news outlets quickly debunked online rumors regarding strikes on mainland port cities like Bandar Abbas and Sirik, clarifying that weapon detonations heard along the coastline stemmed from active naval defense measures and sovereignty enforcement operations in the Strait of Hormuz.

It also condemned the targeting of Al-Masirah journalists while working, describing the attacks as a “clear violation of Article 4 of the UN Charter” and fundamental human rights principles, constituting a “war crime.” Iran stressed that the conflict must be resolved through “dialogue and negotiations” based on an agreed roadmap, calling for an immediate halt to military attacks, the complete lifting of the blockade, and respect for the Yemeni people's right to self-determination.
