Saudi report: Israel attempted to assassinate Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem at least twice recently.

Al Jazeera, quoting an informed source on the talks between the Islamic Republic's high-level delegation and officials present in Doha, reported that Qatar's mediation has led to an agreement between Washington and Tehran regarding Iran's frozen assets.

The IDF said it carried out a wave of airstrikes on Hezbollah infrastructure in Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley and other areas, following earlier strikes on targets in and around the city of Tyre.

Ukraine...

Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces struck high-value Russian targets, including an S-300 launcher and rare 9S19 Imbir radar from the S-300V system in Donetsk Oblast. Other hits targeted fuel rail tanks, ammo and logistics depots, a Merlin-VR reconnaissance UAV, a temporary deployment and maintenance site, and logistics targets in Zaporizhzhia. From May 1-24, SBS says it hit 23 Russian air defense elements. #Ukraine

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian has ordered the Ministry of Communications to restore internet access in the country to its pre-January status after 87 days of digital blackout, the ministry's public relations chief said, according to Iranian state media. The IRGC-affiliated Fars News earlier questioned the government's authority to issue such an order, arguing that the decision to restrict internet access was made by the Supreme National Security Council and must therefore be reversed by the same body.

Russia seems pretty serious with this upcoming attack on Ukraine...

Green light from GCC even... GCC Secretary General: GCC states consider Hezbollah militia a terrorist organization.

A senior U.S. official signaled Washington could support a broader Israeli operation against Hezbollah amid escalating drone and rocket attacks from Lebanon, Channel 12 and Axios reporter Barak Ravid report. The official accused Hezbollah of violating the ceasefire and trying to derail Israel-Lebanon talks, adding that “this is not the Biden administration.”

@Pliszka810 Hard to say, walk away from the possible agreement would be their step...

@EndGameWW3 You think Iran will do anything about it or just talk threats like Trump and they are doing now.

See how Iran likes their buddies getting the shit kicked out of them again...

Official to CH12 "This decision may collapse the Iran-US MOU but they told us they are completely fine with that"

Update: Trump gives green light for Israel to escalate Lebanon war massively-CH12

Israel 🇮🇱

@hey_itsmyturn Yeah they sucking golf balls through garden hoses lately...

Al Arabiya is NewYorkTimesing too much these days. I would take their news on Iran talks with a huge grain of salt

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has ordered the reopening of internet access, Iranian media reported, more than 85 days into the internet shutdown imposed following the start of the war with Israel and the United States. - AFP

A U.S. official tells Al Jazeera that Hezbollah ignored repeated requests to stop firing at Israel, including a final warning, and says Israel will respond to attacks on its forces and civilians: “This is not the Biden administration.” The official says Hezbollah has launched 1,000 drones and 700 rockets since April 17 to obstruct Lebanon-Israel negotiations, adding that the group bears full responsibility for the current escalation.

Precautionary measures and temporary evacuations are reportedly underway in Beirut’s southern suburbs in anticipation of a possible escalation or Israeli strikes, according to Lebanese Al-Jadeed.

Israel’s 🇮🇱 Channel 12, citing a senior Israeli official: It was decided to stop containing; Israel has decided to significantly harm Hezbollah. If Lebanon 🇱🇧 is now being discussed as part of the US 🇺🇸 - Iran 🇮🇷 deal, Israel may be concerned they have a limited window left to degrade Hezbollah.

NEW: SPECIAL REPORT | Ukraine is actively challenging the positional character of the war that has dominated the battlefield since 2023. Russian battlefield gains are approaching net zero while Ukrainian forces are setting conditions potentially to break out of positional warfare by reintroducing limited elements of mechanized maneuver at the tactical level. Ukraine has re-secured an overall drone advantage and fielded systems capable of disrupting Russian forces throughout their operational depth in support of planned Ukrainian offensive or defensive ground operations. Neither Russia nor Ukraine is able to conduct operational maneuver yet, however. Ukraine’s success in blunting Russian advances and reversing Russian gains in some sectors of the line, in tandem with Ukraine’s limited reintroduction of elements of tactical mechanized maneuver may nevertheless mark the beginning of a new phase of the war. Combat in Ukraine will likely become less positional and feature more tactical maneuver until Russia’s innovation cycle renders Ukraine’s current operational concepts ineffective. Ukraine likely has a unique and time-constrained opportunity to exploit its current initiative while Russian forces remain vulnerable. Ukraine’s partners should expand their support to these Ukrainian efforts at a moment when Russia is reeling from both battlefield setbacks and Ukraine’s deep strike campaign with the aim of forcing Russian President Vladimir Putin to reevaluate his approach to this conflict.
