In Operation Lion's Raw, Israel's campaign against Iran enters a multi-day phase with officials signalling the fight could stretch to Passover, depending on developments in Tehran. A senior Israeli official told KAN News that the duration may hinge on Iranian responses. And security discussions have stressed that Iran's rate of fire is likely to slow as damage from days of Israeli and US strikes accumulates. Tehran is described as having roughly 200 missile launchers remaining. Israel says it has destroyed about 300 Iranian launchers

In new developments, Israeli jets carried out another wave of strikes in Tehran, the 11th wave, with the IDF reporting 300 air defenses hit and denying any Iran-Hezbalar coordination. An additional wave of strikes targeting Iranian military infrastructure across Tehran has begun. In direct Israeli-run clashes, US and Israeli officials told the Jerusalem Post that Iran's leadership is struggling to organize a military campaign. Officials say their ability to issue ground instructions has been severely damaged by strikes on senior regime figures, mid-level commanders and command centers. As a result, missile launchers have declined sharply with an 86% drop from the first day of the conflict. The joint strikes on Iranian forces have produced a significant reduction in launchers and left Tehran's capability to coordinate a coherent campaign, badly impaired.

The outlet notes the individual identified is Pakistani national asif merchant, who was arrested in July 2024 and charged with working with Iran in connection with the alleged plot. In regional impacts, counter-terrorism experts warn that Iranian sleeper cells and lone wolf actors could be activated in response to the widening conflict. Potentially linking Europe and the United States to new threats after recent incidents in Austin, Texas and Toronto. In Austin, a 53-year-old Senegalese man killed two and wounded 14 at a bar with investigators finding imagery tied to the Iranian regime in the suspect space. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said the war increases the likelihood of sleeper activity and has stepped up police presence. In Toronto, gunfire struck the boxing gym of Iranian-Canadian dissident Salah Ghalami.

3:06Hours after Iran's supreme leader was reported dead. Separately, alarms were heard in the north of Israel, amid fears of enemy aircraft, as the Houthis joined the wider operation and Gulf states came into crosshairs under the broader campaign. Authorities also note that roughly 110,000 Israelis who were abroad are being brought home. Iran's missile arsenal is reported to be waning, though Tehran may attempt to sustain the pace of attacks. In addition, domestic guidance remains in flux as the home front mobilizes to adapt to evolving threats with public guidance shifting in the near term. In the conflict with Iran and its regional proxies, Yoz handle, head of the Reservist Party, argues that Israel must seize the opportunity during Operation roaring lion to defeat Hezbollah and secure Lebanon with a permanent security buffer. He says passive defense along the northern border is no longer enough and warns against repeating mistakes that followed previous attacks. Meanwhile, reports from Lebanon indicate the Israeli defense forces conducted another strike
