About this episode
Unprecedented US-Israel coordination drives Iran war
Israel may topple Iran regime in weeks
Kurds seek Western-backed front against Iran
The time is now 3:03 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, foreign policy adviser Ophir Falk described Netanyahu and Trump as an epic tag team, saying the US-Israel campaign against Iran has been marked by unprecedented coordination, unusually smooth execution, and a strategic goal focused on ending what he called the existential threat posed by Tehran’s ruling clerics. “Trump and Netanyahu are an epic tag team,” Falk told The Jerusalem Post, noting that the cooperation between the American and Israeli armed forces is unprecedented as Israel and the United States press a campaign amid ongoing Israeli and US strikes on Iranian targets and repeated Iranian missile launches toward Israel and other countries in the region on the sixth day of the war. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran has not attacked its neighbors or Muslim countries, insisting that Iran has attacked American targets and bases located on the soil of neighboring states. He argued that there has been collateral damage in the conflict and pointed to statements about Gaza, saying more than 70,000 people were killed there, framing the war as the United States’ choice rather than Iran’s. Araghchi added that Iran is not pursuing a ceasefire and does not see a reason to negotiate with the United States.
In US Military Role, Israel can topple Iranian regime, war may last a few weeks, Energy Minister Eli Cohen tells The Jerusalem Post. Cohen, a member of the Security Cabinet, said the joint operation between Israel and the United States represents a “very strong and deadly combination” and described the effort as historic, already shifting the regional balance. He said Israel may succeed in bringing down Iran’s regime, while acknowledging timelines could stretch over a few more weeks as Operation Roaring Lion continues. Cohen noted that while there is broad discussion about how long the campaign will take, officials are aligning with operational timelines and believe some additional time will be required to complete the plan. Trump has suggested a scope of four to five weeks to reach objectives, and Cohen said that assessment reflects current expectations.
In Regional Impacts, Will the Kurds open a new front against Iran's Ayatollahs? analysis. There is a palpable wish among Kurdish communities to unite with the West and Israel to topple Tehran’s regime, but Kurdish leaders show cautious hesitation, fearing abandonment by Washington. Recent reports note hundreds of Iranian Kurdish fighters returning home, signaling readiness among some segments of the population to rise up if supported. A senior Kurdish official told the Post that an uprising could come as soon as next week with the right backing, stressing that “without America, without Israel, we cannot be successful.” He called for political cover, including a No-Fly Zone over Iranian Kurdistan akin to the 1990s northern Iraq arrangement, arguing that unity among Kurdish minorities would be essential to regional change. Separately, the NSC warned Israelis abroad to stay vigilant, citing a concrete concern that Iranian security bodies have issued threats against Israeli and Jewish targets worldwide, and noting that several attempts to attack such targets have been foiled or disrupted. The warning cited rising threats from lone attackers and referenced recent incidents under investigation, including a March 1 mass shooting in Austin, Texas, and an attack on a synagogue in Toronto that prompted police there to open an investigation.
