— 🇮🇱 It’s now 2026, a reality check for Israel after 3 years of war:
🇵🇸 Gaza front:
– Hamas has not been disarmed after almost three years of war.
– Tunnel infrastructure in Gaza is intact, rocket arrays being slowly rebuilt.
– Al-Qassam has approximately 25,000 fighters, the same amount as before Oct 7th.
– No sign of an interim government, Hamas is still politically in control of Gaza.
🇱🇧 Lebanon front:
– Hezbollah has not been disarmed, neither North nor South of the Litani.
– Hezbollah’s leadership has successfully reorganized and decentralized, and is now more resistant to assassination strikes than before.
– Hezbollah retains the capability to launch long-range and medium-range rockets, drones and missiles into Israel.
– The increasing use of FPV drones has rendered northern Israeli settlements into ghost towns, and significantly degraded the IDF’s freedom of movement in southern Lebanon.
🇮🇷 Iran front:
– The Islamic Republic is still firmly in power, and perhaps even more entrenched than before.
– Iran’s ballistic missile program, drone force, and conventional capabilities are almost entirely intact and capable of threatening Israel.
– Iran still possesses a large stockpile of highly-enriched uranium, nuclear breakout time is still at ~6 months to a year.
– The Strait of Hormuz is now under Iranian control.
– Most U.S. bases in the region have been rendered unusable and Israel’s Gulf allies are in the weakest position they’ve ever found themselves.
🇾🇪 Yemen front:
– Ansarallah (Houthis) still control the majority of Yemen.
– Houthis still possess hundreds of ballistic missiles and thousands of drones, capable of targeting Israel.
– The Bab Al-Mandab can be closed at any moment.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️- “U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) completed another round of strikes against Iran at 9 p.m. ET, July 20.
U.S. forces struck Iranian military command centers, maritime capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and air defense systems to degrade Iran's ability to continue attacking commercial vessels flowing through the Strait of Hormuz.
Commercial vessel transits through the vital international maritime corridor continue. Since early May, CENTCOM forces have helped facilitate the transit of approximately 900 commercial vessels and 450 million barrels of crude oil.
American forces remain postured and prepared to hold Iran accountable for unwarranted aggression toward civilian mariners seeking to freely and openly transit the strait.” - U.S. Central Command.
