Prime Minister’s Office: As part of President Trump’s 20‑point plan, Israel has agreed to open the Rafah Crossing for limited entry of people only, under full Israeli supervision. The opening of the crossing is conditioned on the return of all living hostages and on Hamas making a 100% effort to locate and return all fallen hostages. At this time, the IDF is carrying out a focused operation to exhaust all intelligence gathered as part of the effort to locate and recover the body of the fallen hostage, the late Staff Sergeant Ran Guieli. Once the operation is concluded, and in accordance with the agreement with the United States, Israel will open the Rafah Crossing. The State of Israel is committed to bringing home Israel’s hero, the late Staff Sergeant Ran Guieli , and will spare no effort to ensure his burial in Israel.

The Secretary-General of Kataib Hezbollah in Iraq, a pro-Iranian organization, issued an official statement this evening calling to “prepare for a total war in support of the Islamic Republic of Iran.” The statement said that all terrorists must mobilize on behalf of Iran. The Secretary-General, Abu Hussein al-Hamidawi, further stated that “the Zionists’ forces of deception are assembling in an attempt to subdue, destroy, and erase all moral principles from the face of the earth. We emphasize the need for the Axis forces to support Iran and to provide it with every possible form of assistance. We affirm to the enemies that the war against the Islamic Republic will not be a walk in the park. You will taste death, and nothing of you will remain.” He went on to call on “our brothers, the jihad fighters, to prepare on the ground, especially if the authority issues a declaration of jihad to conduct this holy war.”

The Kayhan newspaper, considered to be Khamenei's mouthpiece, brazenly claims the unbelievable: The death of 2,427 "martyrs" in the riots is a direct result of surrendering to the cyber army of Mossad and the CIA. According to the newspaper, if a “national information network” — that is, an internal internet disconnected from the global network — had been established long ago, the events would not have happened at all. Kayhan accuses that the “terrorists” are graduates of the “Telegram and Instagram camps,” where they learned to murder, ignite, and carry out attacks, while the enemy runs its “operations room” directly from social networks. They are beginning to promote the idea of a closed internet like in North Korea. (Iran news)

So what is the main reason for the delay in the strike on Iran? Believe it or not, at this stage it is largely the weather in the United States, which has prevented additional defense systems and interceptors from reaching our region. Starting Tuesday, once all flights resume and the planned military aid is fully in place, the show may begin. Remember, President Trump wants a strong and unmistakably decisive blow. To achieve that, Iranian radar and communication systems must first be blinded, powerful new weapons introduced to shock and disable forces on the ground, and only then a massive strike launched against those responsible for the massacres in Iran. A visit to Yemen and Iraq may also be required to neutralize Iranian proxies operating there. Stay tuned.

A report in The Wall Street Journal claims that Zhang Youxia, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission of China and one of the country's top military officials, is suspected of treason, leaking sensitive technological information to the United States, and accepting bribes.
