Pointer to Eternity with Dr. Georgy

The Iranian delegation left the talks in Switzerland in protest against Trump's threats.

The U.S. delegation reportedly planned a handshake and group photo with the Iranian delegation. Senior Iranian officials refused. The message from the Iranian regime is simple: we’ll take what we want from the West, but we won’t even stand next to the United States for a photo.

An old video of JD Vance shows him saying his favorite politician is Bernie Sanders. He didn't suddenly become anti-Israel. He always was. The worldview was always there. Which raises an even bigger question: did JD Vance ever really change his opinion of Donald Trump, or did he simply bury it because power was on the table? Some people evolve. Others just rebrand.

This is like living the 1938 Munich Conference all over again. History repeats itself! Sit with Nazis - and you’ll get the next war!

Is this surprising? In a five-star hotel near Lucerne, Switzerland, Qataris, Pakistanis, Iranians, and Americans are sitting together to discuss what Israel is allowed to do along its own border with Lebanon. Yet the Lord has already spoken concerning those who presume to decide the fate of His land: “And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land.” (Joel 3:2 NKJV) History may be shaped in luxury hotels and conference rooms, but the final verdict belongs to the God of Israel.

On the ground in Lebanon, the IDF is pressing to seize the strategic Ali al-Taher Ridge and the subterranean network beneath it. The IDF assesses the complex to be the “nerve center” of Hezbollah’s Badr Division - the formation regarded as the organization’s primary force on the southern front - with dozens of operatives holed up underground as fighting plays out above and below the surface. The facility is of such vital importance that the organization reportedly planned to blow the Qaraoun Dam and flood the Litani River basin to halt an IDF advance toward it - even at the cost of a national disaster in southern Lebanon. This is a facility unlike anything Israeli soldiers have encountered elsewhere. Built over more than a decade with Iranian funding and planning and carved deep into the rocky terrain across multiple levels, it served as the command post from which Hezbollah directed its fight against IDF forces and its attacks on Israeli territory. The terrain is what makes the difference: unlike in Gaza, where tunnels could be dug back out of the sand, here the rock works against reconstruction - destroy the headquarters, and rebuilding it will be nearly impossible. That operation has come at a steep price. Overnight Thursday into Friday, four soldiers from the 401st Brigade’s 52nd Battalion were killed when a Hezbollah anti-tank missile struck their tank and an explosive drone penetrated the vehicle and detonated inside. Among the fallen were the battalion commander, Lt. Col. Dor Gedalia Ben Simhon, along with Staff Sgts. Yoav Klein, Liav Kababia, and Nave Habshoosh. The fighting only intensified from there. Pressing the operation forward, commando forces moved on the ridge overnight Friday into Saturday under a barrage of rockets, mortars, and explosive drones. Sgt. 1st Class Nir Ben Ari was killed in the assault, and 13 other soldiers were wounded, two of them seriously. The volume of incoming has been heavy: Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Leiter reported Hezbollah fired 147 rockets, 20 drones, and nine anti-tank guided missiles at Israeli forces and into Israel over 24 hours. In response, the IDF unleashed waves of strikes across southern Lebanon through the night and into the morning, hitting dozens of Hezbollah sites and operatives - rocket launchers, weapons depots, and command centers - with Lebanese media reporting at least 27 killed. Netanyahu’s office put the two-day tally at more than 300 Hezbollah targets struck and more than 100 fighters killed. Tehran seized on the strikes, declaring them a violation of its memorandum of understanding and announcing it was closing the Strait of Hormuz until Israel halts its operations in Lebanon. The move is better read as economic leverage rather than a literal blockade: Iran has worked throughout to keep oil prices high, and simply announcing a closure spooks shippers and lifts prices regardless of whether traffic actually stops. In fact, U.S. Central Command reported that 55 commercial ships had transited the strait; its spokesman flatly insisted “Iran does not control the Strait of Hormuz” and that “traffic continues to flow.” Iran, MoU grievance notwithstanding, still dispatched its senior delegation to Switzerland all the same. By Saturday afternoon, against the backdrop of those Iranian threats and subsequent American pressure, the order came down for the IDF to stand down. A senior official in the Prime Minister’s Office and the IDF Spokesperson confirmed the military was halting its fire and remained committed to the ceasefire, though it would continue dismantling Hezbollah infrastructure inside its security zone, the Ali al-Taher Ridge included. Netanyahu, for his part, was unambiguous that Israel will remain in the security zone “as long as necessary to defend [Israel’s] northern border,” and his office warned the IDF would continue to strike “forcefully” if Hezbollah keeps firing. As it stands, Israel has the facility besieged with dozens of Hezbollah forces still trapped inside- entrances surrounded, the rest under aerial overwatch.

IRGC: No ship is allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz until further notice. This is what you get when you’re dealing with terrorists!

“Imad-4” is a massive underground tunnel complex in southern Lebanon where dozens of Hezbollah terrorists are now trapped. This is precisely why the Iranians are demanding that Lebanon be the first issue discussed with the Americans in Switzerland. Read that again: the IRGC is using the Vice President of the United States of America to pressure Israel into withdrawing from an area riddled with terrorists whose stated goal is the destruction of Israel.

Lebanese President to Iran: 'This is not your country.' Hezbollah doesn't represent Lebanon, it's an Iranian proxy holding the Lebanese people hostage. It's time to free Lebanon from Iran's grip.

IDF: Overnight: Dozens of Hezbollah attacks and repeated ceasefire violations In numerous incidents throughout the night (Saturday), the Hezbollah terrorist organization launched more than 50 projectiles toward IDF soldiers operating in southern Lebanon. These attacks constitute repeated and ongoing violations of the ceasefire agreement by the Hezbollah terrorist organization. The IDF will not tolerate attacks against Israeli civilians or IDF soldiers and will respond with determination to any act of aggression directed against them. In order to remove threats and in response to Hezbollah’s blatant violations, throughout the night, the IDF struck dozens of Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure sites and terrorists in southern Lebanon. Among the targets struck were rocket launch positions, weapons storage facilities, and Hezbollah command centers. The IDF remains committed to the ceasefire agreement in accordance with the directives of the political echelon and will continue to operate to remove any threat posed to the State of Israel and IDF soldiers.

The new Air Force One, gifted to the U.S. from Qatar, has arrived at Joint Base Andrews!

The repeated Hezbollah attacks against the IDF, including the strike last night that left a dozen wounded and killed four Israeli soldiers and officers, are not skirmishes. They are part of a deliberate strategy by the Islamic Republic of Iran to use its proxy, Hezbollah, to attack Israel while testing the limits of the agreement it signed with the United States. It would be very easy for the IRGC to order Hezbollah to stand down, at least for these days, or simply to abide by the terms of the ceasefire signed in 2024. They are choosing not to do that. Instead, they are directing Hezbollah to escalate. When Israel responds they go and threaten the U.S. that negotiations will collapse, blaming Israel. Tehran wants to humiliate the United States and make sure it can revive its proxy network, and to establish an equation in which Iran enjoys sanctions relief, petrodollars, and reintegration into the global economy while continuing, through its proxies, to kill Israelis, Arabs and probably Americans, just as it has done for decades. None of this is accidental. It is deliberate. The West does not fully understands that this is the real test; or worse- it does, and does not care. Tehran is trying to determine whether it can enjoy the benefits of normalization while continuing its campaign of terror.

Pictured: UAV Attack against Israel Hezbollah’s attacks are an ongoing and direct violation of the ceasefire and of UN Security Council Resolution 1701. Instead of disarming and withdrawing from southern Lebanon, Hezbollah continues to attack Israel, while exploiting Lebanese territory as a launching pad for terrorism. Every country must protect its citizens.

Iran, having predictably identified what it sees as the unimaginable weakness of the Trump administration, is now attempting to pressure the United States into forcing Israel to withdraw completely from Lebanon. On the surface, Iran’s objective is to secure a strategic victory by driving Israel out of Lebanon. In reality, however, the ambition is far greater. The Iranians understand that an IDF withdrawal from Lebanon could lead to the abandonment of northern Israeli communities and, for the first time in history, the de facto loss of territory within Israel’s 1948 borders. Prime Minister Netanyahu is now facing one of the greatest leadership tests of his career. He must stand firm against President Trump and the United States and prevent an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon at all costs, because the alternative carries the potential for a historic disaster whose consequences are impossible to predict.

Four Israeli soldiers were killed by a Hezbollah anti-tank missile in southern Lebanon. Israel responded by striking multiple Hezbollah targets. In response to the Israeli retaliation, Iran cancelled its participation in the talks in Switzerland. That’s how it works: they instruct their proxies to attack during a ceasefire, and then use Israel’s response as an excuse to refuse negotiations over their nuclear program. Now, take a wild guess - who will be criticized for all of this? You already know the answer.

Mark Levin responds to JD Vance

Watch what JD Vance said about Israel. "Donald J. Trump is the ONLY head of state in the ENTIRE WORLD who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time, and he happens to be the head of state of the world superpower. "The other thing that I would say is that over the last 3 months, TWO-THIRDS of the defensive weapons that have protected your homeland have been built by AMERICAN HANDS and paid for by AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS." America is in trouble!

CENTCOM: U.S. forces have ended enforcement of the naval blockade on Iran, allowing unrestricted maritime traffic to and from Iranian ports. American warships will remain in the region to monitor compliance with the agreement.

Did you know Iran is already violating the new peace deal? The IRGC fired drones at commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz every single night since Sunday. This is what appeasement looks like. You can't make a deal with a regime that sponsors terrorism and expect them to suddenly become peaceful. The world needs to wake up and hold Iran accountable, not reward them.
