Following the Iranian foreign minister’s direct threat against the US, Fabian reports on the buildup of potential US offensive and defensive firepower in the region, including an aircraft carrier and fighter jet squadrons.
As the IDF continues its near-daily strikes against Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon, Fabian discusses Israel’s tacit agreement with the US that allows it to act against anything it considers an immediate threat, and the Lebanese government’s ongoing efforts to disarm the terror group.
The IDF reported a 27% rise in settler violence in the West Bank in 2025, says Fabian, who breaks down elements of the report, including a rise in the severity of the attacks alongside a decrease in Palestinian terrorism, attributed to the army’s sustained offensive activity against terror cells.
