About this episode

HEADLINES
Khamenei Killed As Tehran Compound Destroyed
Iran Strikes Erbil, U.S. Bases Targeted
Drones Spark Red Alerts Near Eilat

The time is now 11:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Operation Lion's Roar, satellite images show extensive destruction at the compound of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in central Tehran, following US and Israeli strikes Saturday morning. The images depict the before-and-after devastation at the Tehran complex central to Iran’s leadership.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Iran's state media says Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, was killed at age 86 in air strikes by Israel and the United States that pulverized his central Tehran compound after decades of diplomatic efforts over Iran's nuclear program failed. Analysts noted Khamenei’s rise to power came after a long period as an unlikely choice for supreme leader, but his rule cemented Iran’s influence and its hard line approach toward Washington. The clash of regional powers is also being reflected in alarms in southern Israel, including reports of drone activity near Eilat with red alerts; authorities said an incident concluded and defensive measures were in place, while a separate report described a drone intrusion in the north that was intercepted.

In Iranian Retaliation, reports indicate a drone and/or ballistic missile impact at Erbil International Airport in Kurdistan, northern Iraq, as Iran reportedly carries out attacks on US bases and other sites in Iraq. Additional reporting notes a strike against an American base in Erbil and mentions of a leadership change within Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, describing a temporary replacement for a recently eliminated commander.

In US Military Role, Reza Pahlavi published an op-ed in the Washington Post stressing that Iran is not Iraq and outlining a plan for a democratic Iran, including free elections under international oversight, a new constitution, and a transition that avoids a prolonged foreign occupation. Separately, Pentagon officials say the US operation in Iran is being monitored from Mar-a-Lago, Florida, where President Trump is located, with senior military leadership observing developments.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Purim, Persia, Tehran: How we fight those who would erase our memory is an editorial that frames memory as a command to protect the vulnerable and remember past threats, linking the Purim story to current tensions between Israel and Iran and the enduring need to safeguard Jewish memory in the face of peril.
