    On August 22, Israeli Defense Minister Katz issued a statement regarding the Israeli airstrike on the Abdul-Hur airbase in Syria. He stated that according to intelligence intercepted by the Israeli military, Turkey was attempting to conduct activities at the base that endangered Israel's national security, and the Israeli military had repeatedly recommended to higher authorities that the base be targeted. After consultations with Israeli military and other security officials, Katz and Prime Minister Netanyahu decided to first take deterrent measures. They issued direct warnings to senior Syrian officials and shared relevant intelligence with US officials. Since Syria ultimately failed to heed the warnings, Katz and Netanyahu formally authorized the airstrike. Turkey has not yet responded.

    August 22nd - Analysts say US President Trump is attempting to achieve what tens of thousands of bombs and missiles failed to do: force Iran to end the war according to US conditions by imposing a new round of sanctions, a naval blockade, and increased economic pressure on Iran's trading partners. However, this old approach of "forcing Iran to submit" has a fatal flaw: Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has effectively controlled the Strait of Hormuz and has repeatedly launched large numbers of attack drones towards the Persian Gulf. The Revolutionary Guard is largely immune to economic pressure and has ample means of retaliation. A key turning point in this round of US action is Monday, when Treasury Secretary Bessant will announce details of a new plan. This plan aims to shift the conflict from mutual airstrikes in the Middle East to comprehensive economic isolation. However, if the new economic pressure proves effective, Iran is likely to retaliate with military strikes, targeting energy facilities along the Persian Gulf coast, attempting to drive up oil prices, increase the cost of US action, and force Trump to change course again.
