Mohammad Reza Naghdi, a senior adviser to the IRGC commander and a former Basij commander, says Iran is shifting from defense to offense. Iranian forces, he says, must be ready to operate deep in “enemy territory,” beyond Iran’s borders, whenever necessary.

South Lebanon's "Quiet" Night Shift
A drone struck a building on the Kfarra–al-Aasi road where Shiite mourners had gathered. The building caught fire. Lebanese reports put the number of wounded at several. No independent account has established who was inside or why the site was hit, and the IDF has said nothing about it.
The rest of the night ran to the same schedule. Artillery hit Wadi al-Hujayr in the Marjayoun …

America’s New Deficit Police
Trump allies want to give the president a new trade weapon: tariffs against countries that sell more to America than America sells to them.
Sen. Rick Scott’s proposed Trade Deficit Elimination Act would require the U.S. Trade Representative to publish an annual watch list of countries with “trade deficit economies.”
Once a country lands on the list, Trump could impose, raise, cut, susp…

Districts Closed. Membership Rolls Open.
Likud's district seats are closed to sitting lawmakers. The District Court upheld the party tribunal's decision, forcing incumbents who hoped for a protected regional slot back into the national primary — where the price of loyalty is measured in activists, buses and membership lists.

Sailors Vote. Seniors Travel.
Israel’s High Court is hearing three petitions against the Knesset’s decision not to renew special polling stations in retirement and assisted-living facilities.
The arrangement worked in the previous two elections. Now tens of thousands of residents must reach the polling station assigned to their registered address — usually an address they no longer live at — or not vote at all.

Arabs Are Welcome. Their Parties Are Not.
Aliza Bloch joined Gilad Erdan and Yuli Edelstein's new right-wing party and answered the question Israeli centrists have spent years avoiding: should Arab citizens have a place in government?

View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
