ATTENTION!
Do we have a cease fire between Israel and Iran or not?
SITREP #14
The exact number of ceasefire violations between Israel and Iran since President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire on June 23, is difficult to precisely pinpoint due to conflicting reports and a lack of independently verified data. However, based on available information, there have been clear violations on both sides. As I stated in a previous SITREP, ceasefires are dicey.
1. Both sides are pointing fingers.
2. Both sides have violated the ceasefire.
3. Khamanei is claiming victory (NOT A GOOD THING!).
4. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council stated that any Israeli attacks post-ceasefire would be met with a "decisive, firm, and timely response." We'll see how the fanatics respond.
Specific Incidents:
1. Of Israel acknowledged conducting strikes on Iran just before or shortly after the ceasefire’s start, including a targeted attack on a radar installation near Tehran, which was scaled back after a call between Trump and Netanyahu.
2. Iran reportedly launched a "last round of missiles" against Israel before the ceasefire (yeah right!), with some strikes occurring in the final hours leading up to the truce, potentially overlapping with the ceasefire’s start time. These included attacks that killed four people in Beersheba and injured others (cease fires are dicey).
3. Some reports that Iran is executing people accused of spying for Mossad (what's new?). Don't get caught with a cell phone!
Obviously, there are clear challenges and be careful listening to everyone on X (except yours truly 😎). What I'm providing is what is reported by legit sources.
Challenges determining violations:
1. Ambiguity in timing due to a phased ceasefire. This is why I say, ceasefires are dicey. The word doesn't get out quickly enough to every subordinate commander.
2. Both sides will lie (these will be referred to as "mutual accusations."
3. It is extremely difficult to verify because there is no neutral body to do so. The UN sucks and is anti-Israel anyway.
4. Propaganda and lies (enough said).
SO WHAT?
The most credible reports:
1. There were at least two confirmed Israeli actions post-ceasefire (e.g., the strike on a radar installation near Tehran and possible additional strikes reported by Iranian media).
2. There were at least two Iranian missile launches post-ceasefire, as claimed by Israel, though denied by Iran (sadly, people actually died in Beersheba).
This suggests a minimum of four violations total, though the exact number could be higher depending on unverified strikes or smaller incidents not widely reported.
My assessment: there were clear violations of the ceasefire destroying equipment and killing civilians. The situation remains very fluid. While the Iranian NUCLEAR program appears to have been setback months or years, the regional hatred remains and very little has changed. If the Iranian regime stays in place, very little will change.
Pray for our men and women in uniform because they're the ones who sacrifice and must respond to the gyrations of the political landscape.
God Bless America 🙏🏼
Of all the titles I held during my thirty-three years in the United States Army, the one I carry with the most pride is Soldier. Once a Soldier, always a Soldier.
When you raise your right hand and swear to support and defend the Constitution, you make a promise to the American people. You learn what that promise means when your country calls, when the people beside you are counting on you, and when your family has to carry on at home without you. I’ve been retired for years, and I still feel bound by the oath I took and by the word I gave to the people I served alongside.
This Veterans Day, to every American who has worn the uniform of our Armed Forces, thank you for keeping that promise.
You have my absolute respect and my gratitude.
Hey President Trump are you aware of what Ed Martin is stating here. Maybe this what something else that Susie Wiles kept from you. How do we not have heads rolling over this?
Ed is right to say at least bring some visibility to what they did to hundreds of J6ers never mind trying to put you in jail.
Corruption without accountability begets more corruption. This is NOT draining the swamp. Lack of action only serves to encourage it.
They want assurance that their nation is governed with purpose and foresight.
President Trump would serve the country well by stepping away from the daily turbulence of Washington and gathering trusted advisors, along with independent voices of experience, at Camp David for an honest examination of recent events and the course ahead.
Abrupt personnel changes without a settled strategy risk compounding uncertainty. What is needed is a comprehensive review of our national priorities and strategic direction, including a clear and coherent policy toward Iran.
Breaking: United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative
Today, Congress is returning from a very long recess. As they get back in town, I have a word of caution for them to seriously consider taking.
In August, I warned about the United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative in Section 219 of the House NDAA.
My opposition stands. America must retain independent control over our military technology, weapons development, and defense priorities.
Congress should NOT use the lame duck session to advance the United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative in the NDAA provision because of its implications for American sovereignty and independent control of our national defense.
Particularly after this election, Washington should be listening to the American people.
America must retain independent control over our military technology, weapons development, and defense priorities. I would apply that same standard to ANY foreign nation. Our responsibility is ...
Let me tell you something straight up—President Trump’s tariffs are a bold, decisive strike for America’s soul. This isn’t just about trade; it’s about taking back what’s ours—our jobs, industries, and our pride. For too long, we’ve let the globalists and the weak-kneed elites sell us out to foreign powers who don’t give a damn about the American worker.
