Trump has voiced frustration about Netanyahu “constantly fighting” in Lebanon, but Israeli military and political analysts say Netanyahu almost certainly will keep forces in Lebanon for several more months, if not years, for tactical reasons — and because of domestic political pressure ahead of a national election expected in September.

The latest exchange of fire has heightened fears of a return to full-scale regional war, which would worsen the global energy crisis and deepen market volatility.
I disagree with this assessment. Going back to a full blown war would be the only thing that put an end to Iran's fire control over the strait.
Iran would be unable to sustain missile launches because we would blow up the entrances to their underground stockpiles again. Manufacturing of drones and missiles would be destroyed as well and electricity to areas that had manufacturing could be destroyed if needed.
Targeting of IRGC check points, barracks, housing, leaders, would quickly lead to the toppling of the regime if we would simply arm them.
I don't understand how anyone can think doing nothing with a shutdown SOH and letting this drag on for months or years or forever better economically for the world than putting an end to the IRGC.

The IRGC is trying to use Hezbollah as a negotiating asset.
The correct response from the US is to turn that asset into a liability.
U.S. should tell Iran: Your proxy fires on Israel and we walk from the deal.
Iran senses weakness and is exploiting it. This needs to stop immediately.

Israel's Channel 12 reports that Trump warned Netanyahu in a tense call not to strike Iran after Tehran launched missiles toward Israel, saying he did not want a new war and that Israel did not have a U.S. “green light” for escalation.
According to the report, Netanyahu argued that Iran had violated Israeli sovereignty and that Israel had to draw a red line. Israel later carried out two waves of strikes in Iran, at around 3 a.m. and 7 a.m. local time, before Iran responded again later in the morning.
After its final salvo, Iran reportedly told the Trump administration it was ready for a ceasefire. Israel was then preparing a major additional strike in Iran, but Trump called Netanyahu and told him to stop, saying: “You did what you did, now hold your fire, we are heading toward an agreement.”
Netanyahu returned to Israel’s command bunker and ordered the attack halted, reportedly leaving senior military officials embarrassed as aircraft were already prepared for takeoff.

Peace in our time! Until tomorrow, or this weekend, or whenever the IRGC decides to get fiesty.

He deserves every bit of this dig.

That Iran’s government has one supplier for conference room microphones?
Pretty good I’d say.

Do we know who is in a position to provide "official confirmation
Usually the regime itself will announce it so they can declare him a Martyr. Israel would also confirm if their spies are able give them a definitive yes.

Israel's Channel 12 reports
It's interesting that Channel 12's relationship with Netanyahu seems similar to CNN's relationship with Trump, adversarial at best. Recently I read that his wife has sued Channel 12 News, their parent company and a reporter, for defamation. I assume info from Israeli news media should be taken the same as from virtually every other media "news" source, with a large grain of salt and an assumption of biased reporting.

Yes, they should be totally transparent about their war plans so that we and the media will know exactly what is going to happen and when.
Iran won't find out.
