BREAKING: U.S. Hits Iran Atomic Reactor? Rail Bridge Destroyed; Israel On Alert | TBN Israel

The United States is attacking the atomic reactor in Iran.A fatal blow to Iran, the U .S.destroyed with cruise missiles the railway bridge connecting Iran, China, and Russia.This is not just any strike.It seems Trump destroyed Iran's strategic bridge for the livelihood of the Revolutionary Guards.

And today, we'll introduce you to the central trade between Iran, Russia, and China.Iran has launched 10 missiles towards Jordan.Will the U .S.continue to attack?Right now, one American soldier was injured at its bases.

Due to the escalation in the Middle East, the Israeli defense establishment held a situation assessment.The level of alert has gone up in Israel.And a rift at the top of Iran.The political system in Tehran is in chaos.While Ali Khamenei is being brought to burial in Mashhad, Iranian fighter jets are circling above the funeral procession.And is Iran's supreme ruler alive?

fit and in control, could Mujtaba Khamenei finally be revealed for the first time?I'm Mati Shoshani, in a live special broadcast, bringing you what is happening right now in the escalation of the last few hours in the Middle East.We are boots on the ground, bringing you the entire truth of what's happening in Israel, and also the whole truth about what is happening in our neighborhood, the Middle East.Today, and tonight, is July the 9th.Let's begin.During the strikes, carried out by the Americans in Iran overnight.

Between Wednesday and Thursday, among the targets that were attacked was the Aktaka -Khan railway bridge in Gulstan province, which is located in northern Iran and is considered an especially strategic

for the Iranians, since it served as a trade route for Tehran with its strategic partners, China and Russia.According to a report by the Iranian news agency Fars, these reports come alongside additional dramatic reports, according to which the U .S.bombed several sites at the same time inside Iranian territory.According to the Mizan News Agency, three members of Iran's Revolutionary Guards were killed in the American strikes.And according to a report in state media, Iran's Revolutionary Guards say that if the American aggression repeats itself, American bases in the region will be attacked.

Now look, this is one of the deepest American strikes inside Iranian territory since the outbreak of the confrontation, a move that marks a clear expansion of the target bank.From military sites in the south, of the country of Iran to trade infrastructure in its north, which Tehran uses to bypass the sanctions.The bridge that was hit is part of China's Belt and Road Initiative, according to the IntelliNews network.At least 65 freight trains made their way from China to Iran over the past year through this route, and Russia began moving goods through it continuously since last October.Iran attacked several targets in Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain.At around 1 .20pm Vietnam time, The Iranian military announced that it had deployed drones to attack targets in Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain that same day, in revenge for previous U .

S.airstrikes.Tehran used a large number of suicide drones of different types to attack the Patriot missile defense system in Kuwait, the early warning system in Qatar, and the fuel tanks in Bahrain.

Now, earlier, the U .S.Central Command, CENTCOM, reported that its forces had completed another round of airstrikesIran and attacked about 90 military targets, including air defense systems, coastal surveillance systems, missile and drone sites, naval capabilities, and military logistical infrastructure along Iran's coast.

U .S.President Donald Trump said aboard Air Force One that the possibility of returning to a full -scale war with Iran is still being examined, but added that that Tehran wants to reach an agreement, according to him.Iran claims that American strikes killed 14 people in two days.On July 9th, the Iranian health ministry announced that American forces attacked five provinces in the country over the past two days, killing 14 and wounding 78 others, according to Al Jazeera, which is the media outlet whose level of reliability is difficult to know, at times at least.

In Israel, we are closely following the escalation in the region and the Iranian attacks against targets in neighboring countries.

The assessment in Israel is clear.At this stage, the confrontation is not expected to spill over into Israel.And for now, it remains limited between the U .S.and Iran.And yet, in the background of the missile launches towards Jordan and the American strikes in Iran, including, among other things, at the nuclear reactor in Bushehr, the Israeli defense establishment is preparing for a scenario of escalation in Israel.

In closed discussions, it was determined that if Tehran violates the agreement, it would be right to strike national infrastructure in the country in order to accelerate the fall of the regime.The Qatari energy company stopped the expansion of the giant Ras Lafan gas facility and reduced activity following the Iranian attack on a Qatari tanker.The move raises concern about an impact on global gas supply and on energy.prices ahead of the winter.Since he was crowned Iran's Supreme Leader, Mujtaba Khamenei has ruled the country without the Iranians or the world ever seeing him.There is no filmed speech, no updated photo, no public documentation that makes it possible to know what the man who received one of the most powerful and dangerous positions in the Middle East looks like today.

Now a short announcement by the FOSS agency is creating tense anticipation in Iran and outside of it.A memorial ceremony to be held on behalf of Iran's leader in the city of Qom is raising expectations for his first public revelation since he was wounded and crowned.Will Khamenei's son finally come out of hiding?We'll bring you all the details in just a bit.There's a lot ahead of us.Let's dive into the details.

I'm Mati Shoshani.And tonight, the Ayahuasca is not with us, and we are boots on the ground.We bring you the whole truth of what's happening in Israel and the war against the revolutionary guards in Iran, the head of the axis of evil in the Middle East.One second before we begin, I want to call on you to continue spreading the truth.Share our content with as many people as possible.Click the subscribe button.

Most importantly, Don't forget to look for me, Mati Shoshani, and Yair Pinto on social media to get a view through our eyes of what it's like to live in Israel under war.Let's get back to the news.I want to take a moment to explain to you what is happening in the attacks between the United States and Iran.But before that, let me just make my phone on do not disturb so it can stop ringing in the background.Let me tell you something.What we're watching right now in front of our eyes is the culmination of multiple weeks of deterioration in the situation between Iran and the United States.

That's what we're witnessing right now.Iran had figured out that there was no more point in continuing the negotiations, that they would gain more from a leadership perspective or from an IRGC perspective from simply not negotiating any further and, well, literally and figuratively speaking, blowing up the negotiations.And the United States, especially President Trump, they realized there was nothing more to gain from negotiating.there's a diplomacy side and a PR side to desiring and trying to negotiate with the Iranians.And once it became abundantly clear, and it really is abundantly clear, that they don't plan to negotiate, they have no desire to move forward in any substantial way, it became clear that he needs to stop the memorandum, seize the understanding between the United States and Iran.One more important thing here that we need to remember, get into the head of President Trump for just a second.

He's getting into the intel that is telling him that the Iranians are trying to assassinate him, that they are chanting that in the streets, that they are calling for that publicly time and time again.He's getting intel that's saying, get on Air Force One, but the original one, not the new one, because it might be dangerous for you to depart the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, and fly back home.That's how tense this is.That's how volatile the situation has become.And the numbers really tell the story.The United States striking over 90 targets last night, multiple targets today.

The Iranians firing pretty much at anyone they can.Any target that can be painted, colored, shaped as if it was an American target is on the table from their perspective.And that tells you a lot about what's happening.We're looking at a quickly devolving, a quickly falling apart situation in this region.I apologize for my neighbor's dog who's excited about the motorcycle next door.Again, we truly are alive if there was a question about it.

Let's get back to it.We're right now in the death throes.the ceasefire.We're right now witnessing the situation where the war is once again erupting and it's just a question of how far does this go?And another question we need to ask is what are other countries going to do here?Because the country that's being attacked is not Israel and not the United States, it's the Gulf States and it's Jordan.

And the Iranians are really putting in front of their eyes a question mark and asking the question, are you going to do something?Are you going to We've shown you we're willing to attack.We even attack our allies.We even attack our friends.We are willing to come after you time and time again to harm your infrastructure all under the guise of attacking American targets.What are you willing to do?

And I think this is yet another test for the Saudis, the Emiratis, the Qataris, Kuwaitis, the Omanis, all of these countries, and now Jordan also today, to see if they're willing to stand up together with Israel and the United States and face the bully, which is the Iranian regime.face them head on and strike against them.And what we're witnessing right now, the reason we're here live is because we're at that moment, the moment of reckoning, the moment of conflict, the moment of danger in which Iran and the U .S.are duking it out once more.And we need to see how far the U .

S.is willing to go.to push against the Iranian regime.And if you think, and anyone at home is telling you, look, this is an act of aggression by the United States, no it isn't.The Iranians have blatantly, openly, consistently violated the ceasefire agreement against anyone else.They keep closing the Strait of Hormuz, they keep attacking ships traveling through that region, and there is nothing more to do aside from attack them, weaken them, and cut off their supply chains and their military equipment chains, most importantly.

Again, reminding you, this is the regime that pays for terrorism to spread around the world.This is the regime that continuously attacks civilian targets.This is the regime that has killed in the hundreds, if you think about their proxies, American citizens, Israeli citizens, and thecountries and the citizens of many other countries, most importantly, their own people.Just a quick sip and we'll get back to the news.

Let's talk about our shout out for today.As missiles once again fall across Israel from Iran, Hezbollah, and other enemies, many people are asking how they can stand with Israel in a meaningful way.And the answer is simple, help us rebuild.We invite you to take part in something real, something of substance, rooted in the land and in the heart.The Rebuild Israel campaign continues, bringing life back to Israel's north along Israel's northern border, an area marked by war, by displacement and loss.We're planting an apple orchard, not as a symbol for a single moment, but as part of a long -term commitment to restore what was damaged and strengthen Israel's future.

At a time when Israel is under attack, planting trees is a powerful declaration.We're still here.We are building.We are growing, and we are not leaving.God promised this land to the people of Israel, and together we can help it flourish once more.This orchard is more than agriculture.

It creates jobs for local families, it helps communities return and rebuild, and it sends a clear message to the people of Israel.You are not alone.When you donate, you're not just giving, you are rebuilding.Your support puts trees in the ground, restores livelihoods, and transforms lands scarred by war into land that grows once more.This is how renewal takes root.This is how Israel rebuilds after war.

Stand with Israel today.Plant hope.Restore the North.Strengthen the future.Go now to tbn .org slash rebuild Israel or call 800 -804 -7895 from anywhere in the U .

S.Rebuild the land, restore hope.Let's get back to the news.The alarms in the Gulf were activated again.And this time, not only around one American base, Iran launched suicide drones towards targets in Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain.and claimed this was revenge for the American strikes inside its territory.

In Kuwait, there were reports of an attempt to hit a Patriot system.In Qatar, a strike towards an early warning system.And in Bahrain, an attempt to hit fuel tanks.So what's really happening here?

A limited Iranian response or an attempt to drag all the Gulf states into the war?To understand the escalation of the last few hours, we need to look at the sequence.First came the American blow.

U .S.Central Command completed another round of strikes against Iran, in which around 90 military targets were struck.These were not just empty warehouses or symbolic buildings.Air defense systems, coastal surveillance systems, missile and drone sites, naval capabilities, and logistical infrastructure along Iran's coast were all part of the target kit.

In simple terms, the Americans tried to dismantle Iran's threat layer around the sea.its eyes, its launchers, its drone storage facilities, and its ability to turn the Strait of Hormuz into a place where every ship has to think twice before passing through.But this night did not remain only in southern Iran.One of the most significant strikes took place in the north of the country, in Gulstan province, where the Ek -Akhtakakhan, we get that right, the Akhtakakhan railway bridge was hit.This is a bridge located on an importanttrade route connecting Iran with China and Russia.

It is part of the network through which Tehran is trying to bypass sanctions to move goods and maintain a supply line with its two most important strategic partners.That's already a change in direction.When the United States strikes only boats, radars, or launchers near Hormuz, the message is military and immediate.When it hits a railway bridge in northern Iran, the message is broader.If the Revolutionary Guards use civilian and commercial infrastructure to keep their war machine alive, that infrastructure can also become a target.And according to reports, at least 65 freight trains traveled from China to Iran through this route over recent months, and Russia began moving goods through it continuously since October.

So the strike on the bridge is not only damage to concrete and steel, it's a blow to the economic and logistical oxygen line of the regime.

Iran understood the message.and returned fire in the arena where it believes it can hurt, the Gulf states.The Iranian military announced that it used a large number of suicide drones of different types.

The targets were not chosen randomly.In Kuwait, a patriot system.In Qatar, an early warning system.In Bahrain, fuel tanks.In other words, Tehran was not only trying to show a response, it marked systems that hold the defensive envelope of the Gulf states and the American presence in the region.

Now, the Bahraini military announced that its air defense systems engaged Iranian strikes, intercepted them, and destroyed several aerial threats.

That is an important detail, because if Bahrain is intercepting, then from their perspective, or the whole region, the war is no longer taking place only between Washington and Tehran.It directly touches countries that host American assets, energy routes,and Western defense systems.That's exactly the danger.Iran knows it does not need to defeat the United States in direct battle.It can create chaos, hit an early warning system here, a fuel tank there, activate sirens, raise maritime insurance prices, stress energy companies, and make Gulf states ask themselves whether the price of cooperation with Washington is simply too high.

At the same time, inside Iran itself, They're trying to create a narrative of victimhood.Iran's health ministry claimed that the American strikes in five provinces hit dozens of people.And according to the Iranian claim, 14 were killed and 78 were wounded over two days, with 47 of them still hospitalized.This should be said carefully.These figures come from Tehran during wartime, so they are part of an information campaign and war.But the very publication of these numbers serves a clear purpose, to present the United States as the aggressor, and to rally the Iranian street around the regime.

The timing is not accidental.The remains of Ali Khamenei were brought back from Iraq to Iran ahead of his burial in Mashhad.This is the final stop in a six -day funeral procession that passed through Iran and Iraq, including the holy cities of Najaf and Karbala.According to the Iranian announcement, Khamenei has to be buried in Mashhad, near the shrine of Imam Reza.At the very same hours, reports in Iran said train services between Tehran and Mashhad were temporarily suspended because of the American strikes.The railway operator sent repair crews, and the authorities tried to organize alternative transportation, but passengers stuck on their way to the funerals.

The Revolutionary Guards accused the United States of striking two bridges in the eastern province leading to Mashhad, claiming the goal was to overthrow the regime.Khamenei's funeral.From the regime's point of view, this is an information gift.They can tell the public, while we are accompanying the leader to his burial, the Americans are attacking the road to Mashhad.That is exactly how Tehran turns operational damage into a story of revenge, religion, nationalism, and the continuation of the revolution.But beneath the ceremonies, the mourning, and the slogans, there's a much deeper problem.

Iran is in a situation where every arm of the regime is pulling in a different direction.On one side, Trump says, from Air Force One, that the possibility of returning to full war is still being examined.On the other side, he adds that Tehran wants to reach an agreement, meaning even after fire, drones, bomb bridges, and attacks in the Gulf, the diplomatic door has not been completely shut.That's exactly where the Iranians are trying to play.Iran's mission in Russia made it clear that the memorandum of understanding with the United States was not built on trust from the beginning, but on a mechanism of commitment for commitment.That's an important sentence.

From Iran's perspective, there is no trust here and no reconciliation.There is a cold deal.You take a step and we take a step.You strike and we strike.You bring back sanctions, we close or harass the routes.This is not the language of peace.

This is the language of bargaining under fire.In Israel, this is understood very well.The assessment right now is that the confrontation is still mostly limited to the United States and Iran, and will not necessarily spill over immediately into Israel.But in the Middle East, not necessarily isn't a work plan.Following the fire towards Jordan, the strikes in the Gulf, and the damaged infrastructure inside Iran, Israel's defense establishment has raised its alert level and is examining escalation.scenarios.

In close discussion in Israel, a clear line is emerging.If Tehran violates the understandings and tries to expand the fire, it would be right to strike national infrastructure inside Iran.Not only a single launcher here or one warehouse there, but systems that keep the regime running.And the idea is simple.If the regime uses the economy, railways, energy, and ports to sustain a war, then it is not always possible to separate the military from the strategic.There's another quieter arena, but no less important.

Qatar.The Qatari energy company stopped the expansion of the giant Ras Lifan gas facility and reduced activity following the Iranian attack on a Qatari tanker.This already affects not only the Middle East.It affects global gas supplies, energy prices, and the approaching winter in Europe and in other regions.Iran wanted to pressure Washington through the sea.But every hit on a tanker, every strike on an energy infrastructure, and every threat against Qatar may push away even countries that have tried until now to keep a channel open.

Qatar can mediate, pass messages, and keep Iranian money inside its banking system.But when a Qatari tanker is attacked, Doha also understands that Tehran is playing with fire too close to home.Guys, what you're seeing on YouTube is only part of the story.Get closer to first -hand reports.behind -the -scenes moments, and stories of faith, resilience, and hope from Israel by visiting tbn .org slash journeys slash boots or text boots to 316 -316 for direct updates from TBN Israel.

There has been no organized speech, no clear public appearance, no updated image that explains who the man is who now holds one of the most dangerous and important positions in the Middle East.A short announcement about a memorial ceremony in the city of Qom created expectations that perhaps he will be revealed for the first time since he was wounded and crowned.If that happens, it will not be only a ceremonial appearance.It will be a political test.Does he look strong?Does he speak with confidence?

Are the Revolutionary Guards standing behind him?Does the public see a leader or only an heir whom the security institutions are holding at the front of the stage?Because the truth is that Khamenei's real heir is not necessarily a single person.The real heir is the system he built, the Revolutionary Guards, the security mechanisms, the parallel economy, the trade ties with Russia and China, and the proxies across the region.So even if Mujtaba appears in front of the cameras, the question will be, who is really holding the hand on the trigger?That brings us back to the railway bridge in northern Iran.

At first glance, it is one point on a large map.In reality, it explains the entire campaign.Iran does not fight only with missiles.It fights through trains,through railways, through oil, through gas, through drones, through proxies, and through its ability to keep itself alive, even under sanctions.When the United States strikes a bridge that connects Iran to the trade corridor with China and Russia, it's selling the revolutionary guards.

We do not only see the launcher at the moment it fires, we also see the way it receives money, the parts, the equipment, the goods.That's what makes this night so dangerous.On the one hand, Trump wants to show the American deterrence has returned.On the other hand, he's still talking about the possibility of a deal.Excuse me.

You see, from one side, Iran is firing across the Gulf.On the other side, it says the agreement was not built on trust, but on mutual steps.Each side is leaving itself an opening to step back, but each side is also raising the price of the next round.Israel is in the middle of this picture, even if it was not at the center of the fire tonight.If Iran succeeds in proving that it can deter the United States through Hormuz, through Qatar, through Kuwait, through Bahrain, and through Jordan, while it will try to use the same method against Israel as well.Indirect threats, proxies, pressure on borders, and an attempt to drag the world into stopping Jerusalem.

But if the United States continues to hate Iran's military, logistics, and economic capabilities, the regime in Tehran will face a difficult choice, continue escalating and risk itself, or return to the negotiating table from a weaker position.And here we must not get confused.The nuclear issue is still very much in the background.The ballistic missiles are still in the background.Hezbollah, the Houthis, and the militias in Iraq are still part of this conversation.The struggle over Homs is only the current chapter in a much broader story.

Whether Iran can continue to be the head of the terror axis in the Middle East, while at the same time receiving relief, cash, legitimacy, and open trade routes, this night proves that precise strikes can damage Iran's capabilities, but they do not necessarily change its behavior immediately.On the contrary, sometimes they force the regime to expose just how much it is willing to risk the entire region in order to show that it is still standing.If Iran continues firing into the Gulf while Khamenei is being buried in Mashhad, the regime may turn his funeral into the opening of a new campaign.And the question now is whether Washington and Jerusalem will settle for another round of response, or whether this time they will aim at the system that keeps this entire war alive.Don't forget to click the subscribe button so that you stay tuned to the truth in real time and never miss Boots on the Ground.Keep looking for me, Mati Shoshani, and Yair Pinto on social media to see life in Israel through our eyes.

And now I want to ask you guys to pray, not just for Israel tonight, but for the entire Middle East.We are watching the world escalate and burn and burst into flames around us, and we need to be praying, first and foremost, for the people of Lebanon, the people of Iran, the people of Syria, the people of Gaza, to have a better government that leads them.for regime change, for peace, for prosperity, for quiet for those countries.Pray first for the people of Iran, that they can overthrow their evil regime, that that regime will flee and give them something better in return.Pray for the U .S.
