🇮🇱🇱🇧 Israel and Hezbollah are trading fire over a ridge Iran has publicly red-lined, and the ceasefire's own framework runs out on MONDAY
The quiet week is over.
Israeli jets HAMMERED the Ali al-Taher ridge and surrounding villages overnight after Hezbollah wounded three soldiers there, the deadliest exchange since June, and Lebanese officials say Tehran has warned that an Israeli grab for that hill pulls Iran directly into the fight.
Larry Johnson's read: Hezbollah held its fire for months and may now decide the ceasefire is finished.
The clock makes it worse.
The MOU expires Monday with its Lebanon provisions in ruins, Iran's parliament security chief spent the morning taunting Trump's strait bluster on X, and the Houthis just leveled the Saudi-held port of Mocha with a six-missile salvo.
Larry's freshest find is quieter and scarier: America's submarine tender fleet is down to two ships, both 45 years old, the shoreside warehouses in Bahrain and Oman are wrecked, and "Destroyer tenders no longer exist in the US service at all."
A navy that can't feed and rearm itself at sea is a navy on a countdown.
And his answer to the White House calling Iran more isolated than ever: in 2015 Russia and China enforced the sanctions. Today they bankroll the other side...
