N12 reported Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich will urge the security cabinet to focus Israeli responses on Lebanon instead of Iran, arguing that whenever Iran fires a missile Israel should destroy dozens of buildings in Beirut’s Dahieh district. He said such strikes would be easier and more effective, pressuring Hezbollah to force Iran to stop while preserving Israel’s option to carry out larger strikes on Iran if necessary.

U.S. Central Command said on social media on the 8th that U.S. forces fired on an unladen tanker in the Gulf of Oman bound for an Iranian port, disabling it after the crew refused orders. The Palau-flagged tanker was transiting international waters toward Iran, CENTCOM said; an F/A-18 Super Hornet from the carrier Lincoln fired precision-guided weapons to render the vessel inoperable. CENTCOM said it has enforced a blockade of maritime traffic to Iranian ports since April 13 and has disabled seven merchant vessels and forced 134 ships to change course.
