About this episode
Israel kills Quds Force commander Reza Khazaei
US and Israel widen Iran strikes
Iran shifts to smaller missile volleys
The time is now 10:03 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Israeli strikes hit a building where Tehran's 88-member Assembly of Experts was meeting to choose Iran's next supreme leader, and Iranian outlets said the structure was flattened by the attacks. The IDF confirmed it had killed Reza Khazaei, a top Quds Force commander who served as a liaison with Hezbollah and played a key role in arming and equipping the group, including overseeing supplies and weapons programs in Lebanon. The military also said it had killed another senior Iranian commander in Tehran in strikes announced on Tuesday, and it reported operations across Beirut and the southern Dahiyeh as part of the campaign. Separately, the airport in the city of Bushehr was attacked.
In Iranian Retaliation, Smaller volleys, more alerts: Attacking Israel anew, Iran shifts tack on missile barrages, Tehran has largely avoided large salvos in its responses to Operation Roaring Lion, instead delivering smaller missile volleys. Experts say there is no single explanation for the shift, whether due to reduced stockpiles, operational issues, or a new tactic, and there is no consensus on which factor is at play. Interceptor stocks are not believed to be stretched, according to the analysis cited, and observers note that salvos were not seen until Monday.
In US Military Role, War expands as IDF, US hit hundreds of new Iran targets, Israeli and American forces have broadened their campaign beyond first-tier targets to a much larger set of Iranian targets. Israel said it had dropped about 2,500 bombs on Iranian forces by Monday night, while the United States said it had attacked around 1,200 targets, bringing the combined pace to a level that could exceed the total bombings Israel conducted in June 2025 over the course of 12 days. The joint effort, which followed the earlier killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and most of Iran’s top leaders, is described as expanding toward broader targets and the potential to shift the balance in the campaign.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, Trump: Iran's leadership, military 'gone' and now it wants to talk, but it's 'too late', former president Donald Trump asserts that Iran's leadership, military, and defenses have been destroyed and that, despite Tehran signaling a desire to talk, it is now “too late.” In a Truth Social post responding to a Washington Post op-ed, Trump declared that “Their air defense, Air Force, Navy, and Leadership are gone,” and reiterated that the regime’s prospects for negotiation are insufficient after the dramatic blows. He also said that sending US troops into Iran has not been ruled out and stressed his aim to weaken Iran’s missile capabilities, disallow its naval reach, and prevent it from advancing toward a nuclear weapon, while noting Iran’s expressed willingness for talks.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, Gantz gives PM ‘full backing,' calls to topple Iranian regime after joint security assessment, Blue and White Party leader Benny Gantz told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he has “full backing” for the ongoing Israel-US operation against Iran. After a joint security assessment, Gantz said the Israeli people are united behind the goal of toppling the Iranian regime and urged moving forward with the campaign to create conditions for change in Iran. He cautioned that such a shift would not happen overnight, predicting it could take weeks in 2026, but argued that decisive action could reshape regional security for generations and highlighted the need for coordinated efforts with the United States, regional partners, and the international community.
