The United States is carrying out its largest offensive since the ceasefire, striking Iran for the fifth consecutive night. Explosions were reported across Iran, including Bandar Abbas, Ahvaz, Sirik, Rask, Konarak, Chabahar, and other areas, as American forces target the systems Iran uses to threaten vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. has renewed its naval blockade on Iran and disabled an oil tanker, the M/T Belma, as it moved toward Kharg Island. American forces reportedly used Hellfire missiles to disable the vessel’s exhaust channel after it failed to obey instructions. CENTCOM says the strikes are meant to damage Iranian military capabilities used against commercial vessels in one of the world’s most critical waterways. President Trump is considering new military options against Iran, including intensified airstrikes, attacks on energy infrastructure, operations against Iranian islands near Hormuz, and even the possibility of a ground move against Kharg Island — Iran’s main oil-export hub. Such a move could become one of the most dangerous stages of the war. Trump has also threatened to destroy “Pickaxe Mountain,” a fortified tunnel facility carved deep into granite rock, reportedly 90 to 145 meters underground. The site may be deeper than Natanz and Fordow, and the U.S. is weighing whether to strike entrances, power, ventilation, access roads, and key support systems if Iran activates it for nuclear work. IRAN’S MISSILE SURVIVAL PLAN: Iran is preparing for the next stage of the war through underground missile cities, mobile launch platforms, false-flag vessels, ghost ships, and shadow-fleet tactics. Reports indicate that 23 Iranian vessels inside the Strait of Hormuz are manipulating their identity, switching off transponders, or operating under false flags in an attempt to break through the renewed American blockade.

Video Summary
TBN Israel reports that the United States is conducting its largest offensive against Iran since a ceasefire took effect, marking the fifth consecutive night of strikes. Explosions have been documented across various Iranian locations including Bandar Abbas and Chabahar as American forces target systems threatening vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. has renewed its naval blockade and reportedly disabled an oil tanker named M/T Belma using Hellfire missiles after it failed to comply with instructions near Kharg Island. Central Command states these actions aim to degrade Iranian military capabilities used against commercial shipping in this critical waterway.
President Trump is evaluating expanded options, which could include intensified airstrikes on energy infrastructure or operations targeting islands near Hormuz. There are also considerations regarding a potential ground move toward Kharg Island and striking "Pickaxe Mountain," a deep underground facility potentially linked to nuclear work. Meanwhile, Iran prepares for escalation through mobile platforms and shadow fleet tactics involving vessels manipulating identities within the strait. Regional tensions remain high as diplomatic talks in Washington focus on Iran while addressing broader issues involving Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, and Turkey.
