LEBANON - The Israeli military has targeted “deep inside Lebanon”, targeting Hezbollah locations in the eastern part of the country for the first time since the conflict started in October of last year, according to its military, as well as Lebanese officials.
According to Lebanese officials, the northeastern city of Baalbek was struck targeting “Hezbollah terror targets deep inside Lebanon”. The Hezbollah terrorist organization claimed that two members of its group were killed in strikes.
The Israeli military said it struck Hezbollah positions in Bekaa Valley, near Baalbek in retaliation for the group firing a surface-to-air missile at one of its drones.

Due To Confusion, No Attempts To Shoot Down Drone Made That Killed 3 American Soldiers - After a hostile drone impacted soldier's container housing units at Tower 22 and killed three American soldiers, Biden said, "We will respond".
WASHINGTON - According to military officials, no attempts were made to intercept or shoot down the drone that attacked the "Tower 22" base that killed three American soldiers and wounded 34 others because an American drone was returning to the base at the same time the enemy drone arrived which caused personnel to be unable to tell if the drone was friendly or hostile.
The hostile drone was one of four drones that were sent out by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a group that claimed responsibility for the attack. Officials say that the other three drones were either shot down or didn't reach any U.S. targets according to the U.S. official.
The fourth drone impacted the Tower 22 base in northeast Jordan, close to the country's border with Syria, according to a statement by U.S. Central Command.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, speaking to CNN said that the United States is currently planning a "very consequential" response to the deadly attack on the Tower 22 base, and said that the U.S. will be responding, but added that the United States does not "seek war with Iran. We're not looking for a wider conflict in the Middle East".
According to the Pentagon, the three service members who were killed in the attack were: Sgt. William Jerome Rivers, 46, of Carrollton, Ga.; Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders, 24, of Waycross, Ga.; Spc.

U.S. Central Command: In the context of ongoing multi-national efforts to protect freedom of navigation and prevent attacks on U.S. and partner maritime traffic in the Red Sea, on Jan. 17 at approximately 6 p.m. (EST), U.S. Central Command forces conducted strikes on 14 Iran-backed Houthi missiles that were loaded to be fired in Houthi controlled areas in Yemen.

These strikes, along with other actions we have taken, will degrade the Houthi’s capabilities to continue their reckless attacks on international and commercial shipping in the Red Sea, the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, and the Gulf of Aden.
“The actions by the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists continue to endanger international mariners and disrupt the commercial shipping lanes in the Southern Red Sea and adjacent waterways,” said General Michael Erik Kurilla, USCENTCOM Commander.

US, France, Germany, UK Urge Iran To Immediately De-Escalate Its Nuclear Program - The joint statement was released after the IAEA released its latest report on Iran stating that the country has begun increasing its production of highly enriched uranium.
WASHINGTON - After the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) released its latest report on Iran stating that the country has begun increasing its production of highly enriched uranium, the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom released a joint statement condemning the findings, saying that it will result in tripling its monthly production rate of uranium enriched up to 60%.
"We condemn this action, which adds to the unabated escalation of Iran’s nuclear program. The production of high-enriched uranium by Iran has no credible civilian justification and the reported production at the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant and the Pilot Fuel Enrichment Plant further carries significant proliferation-related risks," the joint statement read.
It went on to say, "We also take note of Iran’s decision to revert to the same cascade configuration as the one discovered by the IAEA in Fordow earlier this year. Iran’s delay in declaring this change in January 2023 cast serious doubts on Iran’s willingness to cooperate with the IAEA in full transparency".

Of course, the United States does not seek war. And we urgently call on Iran to take steps to de-escalate".
He added that the United States is "committed to freedom of navigation and the free flow of commerce in the region's critical waterways and outlined the ways Houthi attacks are destabilizing maritime security".

DoD: Ensuring Freedom of Navigation in the Red Sea, US & Israel Discuss Continued Operations Against Hamas - "Operation Prosperity Guardian is bringing together multiple countries to include the United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles, and Spain".
Statements from the Department of Defense and Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III on Ensuring Freedom of Navigation in the Red Sea: The recent escalation in reckless Houthi attacks originating from Yemen threatens the free flow of commerce, endangers innocent mariners, and violates international law.
Department of Defense: “Today, Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III traveled to Israel to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant, and the Israel War Cabinet”.
The Red Sea is a critical waterway that has been essential to freedom of navigation and a major commercial corridor that facilitates international trade.
Countries that seek to uphold the foundational principle of freedom of navigation must come together to tackle the challenge posed by this non-state actor launching ballistic missiles and uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) at merchant vessels from many nations lawfully transiting international waters.
This is an international challenge that demands collective action. Therefore, today I am announcing the establishment of Operation Prosperity Guardian, an important new multinational security initiative under the umbrella of the Combined Maritime Forces and the leadership of its Task Force 153, which focuses on security in the Red Sea.
Operation Prosperity Guardian is bringing together multiple countries to include the United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles, and Spain, to jointly address security challenges in the southern Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, with the goal of ensuring freedom of navigation for all countries and bolstering regional security and prosperity.

New Updates: US Central Command Releases Statement On Latest Situation In Middle East - U.S. Central Command: "At approximately 0700, Dec. 15 (Sanaa time), Houthi forces contacted the Motor Vessel MSC ALANYA, a Liberian-flagged vessel that was traveling north in the southern part of the Red Sea and threatened to attack it".
The Houthis directed the vessel to turn around and proceed south. Although there were no U.S. ships in the area, U.S. forces maintained direct communications with the vessel, and the ALANYA continued north.
It is believed to be traveling safely at this time. At approximately 0900, Dec. 15 (Sanaa time), a UAV launched from Houthi held territory struck the Liberian flagged Motor Vessel AL JASRAH as it was travelling south in the Red Sea.
The AL JASRAH immediately broadcast a mayday signal that said the crew was fighting a fire caused by the attack. The fire has since been extinguished and the crew has since determined that no further assistance is needed.
Then, at approximately 1300, Dec. 15 (Sanaa time), Houthi forces launched two ballistic missiles towards the international shipping lanes in the Bab el-Mandeb strait. One of these missiles struck the Liberian flagged MV PALATIUM 3, which broadcast a mayday call and reported that the vessel was on fire. The USS MASON has responded to that request.
The other missile likely missed any ships. No injuries have been reported by any of the three ships attacked, but this latest round of attacks is yet another demonstration of the great risk to international shipping caused by these Houthi actions.

Iran: West Cannot Stop Us If We Want To Become A Nuclear State - The IRGC has repeatedly threatened to wipe out Israel if it makes any 'mistakes', and also threatened to turn locations within the United States into "hellish ruins". Read On SJ | Read On Patreon.
TEHRAN - During a meeting with Iran’s nuclear workers, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said that although whoever says that Iran wants nuclear weapons is lying, if Iran wants to become a nuclear state, the West will not be able to prevent it.
Iran has unveiled its new hypersonic missile that Tehran has dubbed “Fattah”, which means “Conquerer” in Farsi, though Iranian state television claimed that the missile is intended to be used as a deterrent, and an “anchor of lasting security and peace for the regional countries”.
Despite Iran’s claims that its nuclear program is not intended to be used to pursue nuclear weapons technology, but only to enhance civilian programs, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has a history of issuing threats to destroy not only Israel but has also threatened to turn U.S. states into “hellish ruins”.
Last year, the IRGC said that it could move its "peaceful nuclear program to a nuclear weapons program" in a rapid amount of time, and turn New York into “hellish ruins”, "if the US or the Zionist regime make any stupid mistakes".
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps also unveiled a surface-to-surface ballistic missile situated within a missile launcher in Isfahan, displaying the words "Death to Israel" on it last year which had specifically been written in Hebrew, shown in a post by the semi-official Iranian news agency Tasnim.
In his first address after being reinstated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in March of this year that the world will break out in a "horrible nuclear war" if it does not stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
International nuclear inspectors detected 84% enriched uranium in Iran, "just below" the level needed to manufacture a nuclear weapon, according to a report by Bloomberg in February of this year.
In March, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said during his visit to Israel that "The United States will not allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon," and spoke of Iran's "destabilizing actions". Israel also said at the time that "all possible means" are on the table in order to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
In January, the Israeli defense establishment requested an additional 10 billion Israeli New Shekels (Nearly $3 billion USD) for the country's defense budget for 2023 in order to prepare for a military operation in Iran and to deal with the effects of inflation.
In December, Outgoing Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz spoke to air force graduates that were graduating on Wednesday and told them that Israel is preparing for the possibility of an attack on Iran and that they may take part in attacking Iranian nuclear sites within two to three years time.
In November of last year, the Israel Defense Force (IDF) and United States Air Force (USAF) held large joint air drill exercises simulating an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities.
