In direct Israeli-run clashes, Iranian outlets reported that the building where Tehran's 88 member assembly of experts was meeting to choose the next supreme leader was described as flattened by the strikes. The IDF said the target was that building, and as of early Tuesday evening no injuries or deaths had been reported.

1:05Earlier on Tuesday, Iran's ISNA cited a member of the assembly saying that selecting a successor to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would not take long. Khamenei and many top Iranian military and intelligence officials were killed early on Saturday after Israel began operation roaring lion. By Monday night, the IDF had dropped more than 25 zero bombs on the Islamic Republic and attacked over 600 targets. The IAF struck a leadership complex in Tehran overnight, with roughly 100 fighter jets dropping over 250 bombs on the complex, which was said to contain the president's headquarters, the headquarters of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, a meeting compound used by the senior forum, and a training facility for Iranian military forces. In regional impacts, Qatar carried out strikes inside Iran over the past 24 hours, western diplomatic sources confirmed. After Doha said it thwarted an attempted attack on Harmad International Airport in Doha, Doha said it did not receive advance warning from Iran ahead of the missile launches,

2:08and described the thwarted incident as part of a broader Iranian pattern targeting civilian infrastructure. Iran did not immediately comment on the strikes. The report did not specify targets or the scope of Qatar's operation. In the conflict with Iran and its regional proxies, reports from the North indicate ongoing challenges intercepting drones, with a second drone reportedly launched from Lebanon as the Israeli defense system faces continued pressure on aerial incursions. In U.S. policy concerning Israel, a former Israeli ambassador to the United States said the United States struck Iran to advance its own interests, not because Israel dragged the U.S. into war. He noted that Israel began the 12-day operation without knowing whether the United States would join, and that Washington's involvement followed the action and the reduction of risks perceived by Israel. In another development, a former president claimed Iran's leadership. Air defenses, armed forces and military leadership are gone and suggested Tehran would like to talk, but it is too late.

3:10A separate report said Trump has discussed with Kurdish leaders and other regional actors, the possibility of backing armed groups inside Iran, to topple the regime. Signalling continued efforts to capitalize on Tehran's vulnerabilities. In Israeli domestic politics, a magistrate's court extended the restrictions on Netanyahu adviser Jonathan Urich, leaving him barred from working at the Prime Minister's office and from contacting individuals named in the probe, while clarifying that he may speak with the Prime Minister, provided they do not discuss the investigation itself. In Israeli economy and business, experts warned that war with Iran could deepen Israel's economic weaknesses. Direct military costs, reserved days, flight hours, interceptors and munitions are estimated in the billions, with a potential broader hit to growth and fiscal stability. Short-term burdens are expected to fall on self-employed workers and hourly employees, while some sectors like agriculture may continue despite tensions. Investor sentiment remains uncertain. Separately investigative reporting revealed that two UK-registered crypto exchanges

Authorities alleged the exchanges were active in moving digital assets for Iran, despite dormant UK filings. Thank you for tuning into this Israel today, ongoing war report update. I'm Noah Levi.
