BREAKING: B-1 BOMBERS Hit Iran; U.S. Special Forces Move In; Hormuz CLOSED | TBN Israel

The gates of hell will open in Iran.A significant escalation was recorded overnight in the war against the Revolutionary Guards.The United States struck Iran using B -1 bombers for the first time since the fighting resumed.The twelfth night of strikes is coming to an end, and the echoes of massive explosions were heard across Iran.The forces are on their way, the bombers are on alert, and Trump is preparing to expand the war.Is the United States heading towards a ground operation?

Washington is sending special forces and units to the Middle East.Additional bombers have been placed on alert, and medical teams are already on full standby.The United States military is preparing for an escalation with Iran, and Donald Trump is threatening to destroy a bridge or a power station every time Iran fires at a ship.And why has the Mountain of Peacocks became a central military target for the United States of America?The Revolutionary Guards are threatening.The Strait of Hormuz is completely closed.

And at the same time, the Houthis attacked Saudi oil vessels, threatening to drag Pakistan into a confrontation against the Houthis as well.So, while the entire Middle East prepares for a state of war, let us understand what's going on here.I'm Ir Pinto, and usually Mati Shoshani is here with me, but just as everything started to heat up, he had to take a short vacation.So we'll see him just in a little bit.We're here on Boots on the Ground, bringing you the full truth about what's happening in Israel, as well as the full truth about what's happening in our neighborhood, the Middle East.And today, today is July 23rd.

So let's begin.Another powerful night in Iran.United States Central Command announced overnightTuesday that it had launched another wave of strikes against targets in Iran, the 12th consecutive night just yesterday.And tonight, for the first time in the current round of escalation, the United States military used heavy B -1 strategic bombers to destroy the Iranian targets.So this is the first time that the United States has deployed B -1 bombers since the fighting with Iran resumed.

The use of these bombers, which can carry dozens of bombs and cruise missiles, is evidence of significant escalation and an expansion of the American military operation.It was reported overnight that one of the targets that was struck by the United States was the Salmakakh border crossing area between Iran and Iraq.The crossing is located approximately 50 kilometers from the border between Iraq and Kuwait.An Iranian report said that crossing was struck by the American missiles that hit the rest area used by Iran's border guards.A video attached to the United States Central Command announcement showed an aerial strike against a moving vehicle in Iran without providing further details.Strikes were also documented in the area of an airport, as well as against a maritime pier and a vessel that burst into flames immediately after being hit.

The American command said in the statement that, The forces struck the Iranian military targets, including naval capabilities, missiles, and UAV storage facilities, coastal surveillance sites, and air defensive assets.The United States also announced that it had struckof Iranian military targets since the fighting resumed.So, Center Command added that this month, American forces struck dozens of Iranian military sites on land alongside the renewed naval blockade against Iran.And as of today, military forces have redirected nine commercial vessels and disabled one vessel in order to prevent ships from entering or leaving Iranian ports.Official Iranian media reported American strikes in the province of Elam and Kurdistan.

And according to the reports, the Havar and Abdanan areas in Elam province were also attacked.And local media also reported American strikes near Sirik in Hormuzgan, and explosions were also heard in several areas in Bushar.And according to the initial assessments, they were caused by an American airstrike against two locations near that city.And at the same time, Iranian air defensive systems were activated northeast of Tehran.What does all of this mean?It means that with every wave of strikes, the American military is increasing the intensity of the campaign and preparing the ground for a deeper erosion of the Revolutionary Guards.

So the United States military emphasized that during the past three months, Iran attacked more than 30 commercial vessels that are passing through the Strait of Hormuz, the vital route for regional and global trade.Despite the Iranian aggression, Central Command made clear that the Strait of Hormuz remains open to commercial shipping.And since the beginning of May, CENTCOM forces have helped facilitate the passage of approximately 900 commercial vessels and around 400 nuclear weapons.barrels of crude oil through the strait.And over the past week, special operations and forces have been deployed to the region from braces in the United States.According to the flight tracking data and American officials, fighter squadrons have been positioned across the Middle East while bombers at bases in the United States and Britain have been placed on high alert for increased operations.

In addition, more than 150 medical personnel have arrived in recent days at the Landestuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany.This hospital is the main center for treating American service members that are wounded in the fighting in the Middle East.The additional forces are arriving inside the Middle East and also in Europe at a time when the United States had already has tens of thousands of troops in this region.The United States Navy currently has 17 ships in the Middle East.This is including two aircraft carrier strike groups, 11 destroyers, and also marine expeditionary units.So Trump may order the United States military to launch its largest attacks against Iran so far.

We'll see.Trump himself hinted at the possible attack when he shared an article on Truth Social with a headline stating that he had ordered the military to open the gates of hell on Iran.

In recent weeks, the United States military has focused its strikes mainly on targets that undermine Iran's ability to threaten the shipping inside the Strait of Hormuz.

The latest strikes included military operations, centers, naval capabilities, aircraft hangars,drone storage facilities, and military logistical infrastructure.

The United States also struck bridges that it said were used by the Iranian military to resupply a naval base in the Strait area.United States President Donald Trump earlier issued a severe warning against Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz.Trump threatened that any attack affecting the Strait would be met with an immediate military response against strategic infrastructure deep inside the Iranian territory.

This is including bridges and also power stations in the capital, Tehran itself.So according to him, no one wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon and Tehran will pay a heavy price.

The president added that Americans are not opposed to the war, but they're concerned about rising fuel prices as a result of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

The President of the United States is expected to attend a ceremony today at the Dover Air Force Base for the return of the coffins of the American military personnel that were killed in the Iranian attacks, according to the White House.In response to the American escalation, the Revolutionary Guards issued a direct threat against the United States overnight, announcing that the Strait of Hormuz was under their complete control and was completely closed for as long as the American activity in the region continued.In their statement, the Revolutionary Guards made clear that no movement, entry or exit of oil tankers through the strait would be permitted without prior coordination with the Iranian authorities.

The commander of the Revolutionary Guards Air Force, Mousavi, warned, Iran will cut off the electricity of the United States' regional allies if roads and also power plants in Iran are attacked.The Revolutionary GuardsGuards announced that no tanker would pass through the Strait of Hormuz without coordination with Iran.

And according to the organization, an oil tanker that attempted to pass through the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz, where they claim that mines have been planted, caught fire following this explosion.So the statement claimed that two other tankers that are sailing in the area turned back.And following the Houthi announcement, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Organization and the operations agency reported that a tanker had been attacked near the coast of Saudi Arabia and that there were no casualties in the incident.So later, Saudi state media also confirmed this report.And Iran is seeking to use the Houthis to open a new front in the Red Sea.in addition to the front in the Gulf, and to place pressure on another vital international shipping route that is used to transport oil.

The attacks carried out this week by the Iranian -backed Houthis in Yemen, the terrorist organization that is backed by Iran, against Saudi Arabia have caused frustration in Pakistan and threatened to drag Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, into this confrontation as well.

So Pakistan made clear to Tehran that any attack against the kingdom would also be considered an attack against Pakistan, which could intervene under the defense agreement between the two countries.So, as you can see, there's a great deal ahead of us.So let's dive into the details.I'm Ir Pinto.

Matti Shoshani is not with me currently and we wish him a happy vacation, but we're here on Boots on the Ground and we bring you the full truth about what's happening in Israel and about the war against the Revolutionary Guards in Iran, which is the head of the

Because the important detail is not simply that a B1B entered the campaign.

It's that that aircraft allows the United States Central Command to do a lot more next.The B -1B is a supersonic long -range heavy bomber carrying the largest conventional payload in the United States Air Force.Its three internal weapons bays can hold up to 75 ,000 pounds of ordnance.Depending on the mission, that can include 24 2 ,000 -pound bombs, 24 long -range cruise missiles, or many lighter weapons.So one bomber therefore threatens a coastal surveillance site, air defensive systems, missile warehouses, drone facilities, command centers, and also naval infrastructure across a wide area.It can also release a standoff weapons before entering the most dangerous Iranian airspaces.

But the B -1B does not carry America's heaviest bunker -busting penetrating bombs.That role belongs to the B -2.and its arrival points first towards greater volume, towards reach and sustained pressure.It does not prove that an attack on Pikak's mountain has already begun.The strike map is also expanding.The attack near the Salamakh crossing reached its Iran's southwestern border with Iraq, close to the routes that are leading towards Kuwait.

Iranian authorities say that two people were killed in an area used by the border personnel.CENTCOM also released footage of a moving vehicle that is being struck from the air.Other clips shows attacks near an airfield, a pier and alsoa vessel that caught fire.The command did not identify the vehicle's components or specify which aircraft delivered each weapon.The build -up surrounding those strikes is just as important.

Special operations forces have moved into this region.fighter squadrons, refueling aircrafts, and long -range bombers are being repositioned.More than 150 additional medical personnel have arrived at the Landestuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany.The main treatment hub for the American troops is seriously wounded.Everybody who got wounded seriously in the Middle East is transported there.So the special operations deployment also does not automatically mean an invasion.

These units can recover downed air crews, conduct reconnaissance missions, protect sensitive bases, identify targets, support maritime boarding, and retrieve classified equipment before the Iranian forces reach it.The United States Navy already has 17 ships in the region.That force can launch cruise missiles, defend bases, and ship in rescue crews, and then enforce the blockade on the Iranian ports.So Washington, is conducting two different maritime missions.American forces are stopping vessels that are entering or leaving the Iranian ports while supporting commercial traffic that is heading towards other destinations.Mine vessels that have been reportedly diverted and one disabled under the blockade.

So Iran is trying to erase this distinction.The Revolutionary Guards claim that no tanker may enter or leaveStrait of Hormuz without Iranian coordination.They say that one tanker caught fire after entering a mine route south of the Strait of Hormuz, while two others turned back.And Iran has not identified those vessels or provided a clear timeline so far.So CENTCOM rejects the claim that Iran controls the waterway.

It says that the strait remains open and American forces have supported more than 900 commercial transits since early May, carrying approximately 450 million barrels of crude oil.A passage can remain legally open and still become commercially dangerous.Ship owners calculate mine threats, missile warnings, insurance costs, crew safety, and the possibility of misidentification.Iran does not need to stop every tanker.It needs enough captains and companies to reconsider the route.President Trump is now proposing a direct price for every Iranian attack.

He says that whenever Iran fires on a ship, the United States will destroy an Iranian bridge or a power plant.Bridges can support military resupply.

Electricity support ports, radar networks, command centers, and also weapons facilities, but also serves the civilians themselves.And this creates a pre -announced escalation ladder.A missile or a drone or a mine or a proxy attack at sea could trigger a strike deep inside Iran.Tehran has answered with its own formula, warning that attacks on the Iranian infrastructure would bring strikes against the energy and the power systems belonging to America'spartners.So what you see here on YouTube is only part of the story.

And let's continue, because Iranian leaders are also connecting the survival of their own exports or the safety of the neighboring economies.The Speaker of the Parliament said that if Iran cannot sell oil, nobody in the region will sell oil.A foreign minister described Iran's policy as an eye for an eye and warned that countries that are assisting the American strikes could become targets themselves.The Houthis have now applied pressure from the other side of the Arabian Peninsula.They claim that they attacked Saudi tankers Insila and Laila using ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones.Maritime monitors confirmed that Insila was hit near the Saudi coast and caught far.

Its crew was reported safe.So the claimed strike onLaila remains unconfirmed.Five tankers changed course in the Red Sea after the Houthi threats.The group claims that it forced about 10 ships to retreat, although that figure has not been verified just yet.Companies are now calculating the danger near Bab al -Mandab while also assessing the risk at Hormuz.

The country closest to being drawn into the Saudi front is Pakistan.Pakistan has a mutual defense agreement with Saudi Arabia and has deployed roughly 8 ,000 troops, an air defensive system, and a fighter squadron to the kingdom.Islamabad, or Pakistan, has told Tehran that an attack on Saudi Arabia would be treated as an attack on Pakistan.

Washington is investigating another possible expansion of the conflict.American intelligence analyses are examining whether Russia supplied targeting information or advanced technology for Iranian drone attacks on CIA facilities in the Gulf.

No final conclusion has been reached.And that helps explain why Washington is deploying more than just bombers.It is constructing a system able to attack, defend, rescue, treat, and also continue operating after Iran responds.Air power can destroy fixed infrastructure, but it cannot guarantee that every mobile launcher, drone, mine -laying unit, or proxy force, has disappeared.Diplomacy continues, besides the build -up.Qatar and Oman are carrying messages.

In Pakistan, they want negotiations to survive.Trump says that Iran is taking severe blows and wants an agreement, but is not ready toaccept one.Secretary of State Marco Rubio says that Washington remains open to serious talks while rejecting Iran's calm and claims of authority over the international passage.A second nuclear track complicates this agreement.Washington has submitted a long -term civilian nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia for congressional review.

It is presented as a non -proliferation framework, but Tehran will argue that regional nuclear rules are being applied differently.Then, there is Pickax Mountain, the target already named by President Trump.Its importance is not based on verified evidence that uranium is being enriched there.The concern is that the complex could protect equipment that is needed to rebuild Iran's enrichment capacity after other facilities were damaged.The tunnels are estimated to lie roughly 250 and up to 475 feet beneath the summit.Their entrances are reinforced.

The internal design remains largely unknown, and several assessments places sections deeper than Fordot.A strike may therefore seek a mission to destroy or to disrupt these chambers.That would be very hard.That would mean collapsing the entrances, cutting the electricity, damaging the ventilation and cooling systems, destroying access roads, and repeatedly striking engineering equipment that is sent to reopen the strike.The B1B can attack the surface network and suppress the defenses.Reaching the deepest holes would require different weapons or a longer campaign that keeps the complex isolated.

ISIL is watching that decision very closely.Even while remaining outside the current strike campaign, ISIL may host the American aircrafts and also support the defensive networks.The danger begins when Tehran decides that American pressure can no longer be separated from Israeli support.Let's say a strike on Pekax Mountain.or a wider attack on a national infrastructure in Iran, or another Houthi escalation could change Israel's position within hours.And Washington is no longer arranging forces only to protect ships.

It is building the capacity to strike Iran, rescue its crews, absorb the casualties, and keep fighting if Tehran opens a second maritime front.Will the next American order target another coastal network or the underground nuclear complex that could pull Israel and the entire region into a wider war?Let me know what you think about this in the comments.And in the meantime, help us spread the truth.You can hit the subscribe button.That's one.

Hit the like button.You can also share with a friend what's happening.And the best thing that you can do is to pray.We need your help in praying for the situation, in praying for the peace of Jerusalem.But how do we do that?We pray for the wisdom, to our leaders that God will give them his wisdom.

We pray for peace and security to our soldiers.If it's the IDF troops, if it's the United States servicemen in the Strait of Hormuz and in this region all together, or in Israel, let's pray for them and for their family members.Let's pray for the wounded soldiers in this war.Let's pray for the children.And let's pray also for our enemies not to succeed in their plans.but to have a change of heart.

God can do that.Let's keep praying for the peace of Jerusalem.See you again later on tonight.
