I wonder what became of Iran's "continuous waves of missiles and drones… for 7 days" and Iran's "Operation True Promise 5"?
It kinda seems like Trump's chokehold on Iran might have reduced them to a sputtering death spiral full of bluster.

there were many demonstrations across Iran on Friday against the regime with thousands of protestors
all coordinated to take place simultaneously in 20 different cities
so someone is still able to organize and plan resistance
All flights at Iran's airports have been cancelled until further notice, the Iran Airports and Air Navigation Company said on Monday.

Israel’s security cabinet decided to halt strikes in Iran but continue military operations in southern Lebanon, despite Tehran’s demand for a ceasefire across Lebanon, according to Israeli media.

It's not to the media.
the ISLAMIC REPUBLIC is the one claiming that Hizbullah is part of the "ceasefire"
this is yet another Iranian lie of the hundreds of Iranian lies.
so then Trump scolds Israel for fighting back against non-stop Hizbullah missile launches INTO ISRAEL
thus Trump is actually taking IRAN'S side of the argument
rather than stating "Iran has nothing to do with Lebanon and Lebanon has nothing to do with Iran"

I would like to know more about this.

Very well could be.
Trump already said exactly that a week agoagent-maroon said:
Iran - Israel - USA "ceasefire" really means decreased, but still continuous retaliation attacks. Always has been, always will be. Destroy the Iranians economy and force them to spend their money on food & water instead of weapons both nuclear and non-nuclear. Destroy it now.

I've seen reports of students in Iran protesting/burning flags again, but their ridiculous 'judiciary' also reported opening 'inquiries' into 3100 detainees for supporting the 'enemy' so I dunno. Need to see more Artesh defections to believe any real uprising has a chance vs. regime, imho.

I don't like to hear that they are taking out air defense sites. Israel basically took out 100% of their air defenses in April 2024 and then they were back at it destroying air defenses again in October 2024. Then destroyed more air defenses in June 2025. And we did the same in February of this year.
How do they replenish their air defense systems so quickly?

President Donald Trump said during a tele-rally Monday night that the United States would achieve "total victory" over Iran within two weeks.
According to NewsNation correspondent Libbey Dean, Trump predicted a swift end to the conflict, telling supporters, "You're really going to win it over the next two weeks when we declare total victory. It will be a total victory and it will happen very soon."

President Donald Trump warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday that escalating military action could leave Israel isolated in a conflict with Iran, according to reports.
The warning came at a fragile moment following missile exchanges between Israel and Iran and amid efforts to preserve the ceasefire.
"I told Bibi, 'You better be very careful with what you do because you might soon be left alone against Iran,'" Trump was quoted as saying, according to Israel's Channel 12.
The remarks came after Iran and Israel said they had stopped military attacks.
UTExan said:
Israel attacking on its own introduces uncertainty into the IRGC's calculations. If Trump doesn't control Israeli military strikes, they have to re-assess the cost-benefit analysis in negotiations going forward. Add that if Israel is attacking unilaterally Iranian oil facilities and airports, that really ups the uncertainty factor.
