About this episode
Israel claims Tehran strike kills Ali Khamenei
Iranian drones fire as Israel intercepts 110
US taps UK bases for defensive operations
The time is now 10:05 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Operation Lion's Roar, overnight the Israeli Air Force conducted a broad wave of strikes across Tehran and targeted military infrastructure at Mehrabad Airport, a facility used by the Quds Force of the IRGC as a central hub for arming and funding the regime’s proxies in the Middle East. Aircraft loaded with weapons and cash reportedly took off from Mehrabad and landed across the region to support Iranian proxies, with 16 Quds Force aircraft dismantled in the operation and Iranian fighter jets posing a threat to Israeli air operations also targeted. Reports accompanying the briefing describe an air strike that obliterated a Tehran compound where a gathering of key decision-makers was taking place, killing Ali Khamenei, his wife, and other top officials. US and Israeli intelligence assistance was cited by officials detailing how reconnaissance and intercepts enabled the strike, including claims that Iran’s road-surveillance network had been compromised. The head of the Israel Air Force, General Tomer Bar, was said to have participated personally in sorties against the Iranian regime.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Iran continues to fire missiles at Israel as the IDF destroys IRGC aircraft used to supply proxies. The military said it intercepted more than 110 drones launched from Iran since the operation began, and Hezbollah has expanded rocket fire toward communities in the Galilee. Alarms sounded in the north after a drone intrusion, and there are reports of exchanges of fire with Lebanon as the confrontation broadens.
In US Military Role, the United States has begun using British bases for specific defensive operations to prevent Iran from firing missiles into the region, with Fairford in Gloucestershire and the Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean cited for this purpose. The move drew commentary from UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer amid initial reluctance by Washington to engage, and a US Air Force B-1 Lancer bomber was observed at Fairford, with a C-5 Galaxy seen on the runway. In a separate claim from the former president, Trump asserted that “we destroyed 42 Iranian navy ships within three days.” Separately, a US Air Force C-17A Globemaster III transport arrived at Nevatim Air Base in Israel, reportedly delivering interceptor missiles for the THAAD system. The broader posture included four US B-1 bombers landing in Britain, underscoring the capacity to strike targets across the region with long-range missiles.
In Regional Impacts, developments abroad include an Iranian Shahed-136 drone that likely attempted to strike the air-traffic control radar at Dubai International Airport but fell short of its target. Separately, Iran struck a vessel about 10 nautical miles off the coast of Saudi Arabia, highlighting a widening risk to maritime traffic in the Gulf region.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, launches attributed to Bahraini sources indicate missiles directed toward Iran, with statements describing “that’s the launch from Bahrain towards Iran” and reports of missiles launched from Bahrain toward Iran, suggesting spillover effects reaching Gulf states and the broader confrontation with proxy networks.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, President Trump spoke publicly about the war with Iran, arguing that Iran was “very close to a nuclear weapon” and describing the campaign as having disrupted Iranian capabilities, including claims that 42 ships, the air force, and communications were destroyed. He framed the operation as a necessary step in preventing a nuclear capability, while noting the need to keep future actions to a minimum.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, Israel is set to extend war-time economy restrictions by another day, with Home Front Command expected to consider easing restrictions in the education system on a differential basis, primarily in areas considered under lower threat.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, a demonstration in support of the Ayatollah regime in Iran and against Israel and the United States took place yesterday in London, reflecting ongoing tensions and public displays amid the wider conflict.
