About this episode

HEADLINES
Israel Strikes Iran Aerospace HQ Over Khayyam
Mossad Finds 60% Enriched Uranium
UAE Endures Most Iranian Attacks

The time is now 12:02 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Operation Lion's Roar, the IDF on Sunday attacked Iran's Aerospace Headquarters, a facility used by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to promote its aerospace efforts, including the 2022 Khayyam satellite launch. That Khayyam mission was launched by Iran with a Russian Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and, at the time, raised serious national security and intelligence concerns for Israel and the West. Israeli officials had feared that Khayyam and ongoing space cooperation between Moscow and Tehran could boost Iran's capabilities to launch long-range weapons and improve its monitoring of targets in the Jewish state and across the region, potentially impacting security in the near term.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, alarms activated. Alarms activated.

In Regional Impacts, content labeled promotional material appears in Hebrew, with additional items noting tensions on regional fronts. One entry carries warnings tied to the north border and the broader conflict, including references to ongoing air strikes and a complicated front with Lebanon. The UAE, meanwhile, reported that 42.8% of all Iranian attacks occurred on its territory (1276+), while Israel accounted for about 20.1% (around 600 attacks).

In US Policy Concerning Israel, US intelligence says Mossad can catch Iranians with enriched uranium if they try to use it. The New York Times, expanding on a September 2025 Jerusalem Post exclusive, notes that Mossad could locate Iran’s remaining 60% enriched uranium if Tehran attempted to access and employ it. The Jerusalem Post had reported that Mossad had a good handle on the location of uranium not struck during Operation Rising Lion in June 2025 and could intervene if Tehran sought to move toward a nuclear weapon. The Post also noted that Mossad would maintain a heavy focus on the issue at a minimum until Iran provides access to the uranium to IAEA inspectors. During the June 2025 operation, Israel and the United States destroyed much of Iran's three major nuclear facilities—Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan—along with dozens of other sites; however, more than 400 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium was not destroyed, leaving a stock that could, in theory, be further enriched.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, a Yemeni national was arrested for throwing stones at the Israeli Consulate General in Munich, Germany, on Saturday. The 24-year-old suspect tried to barge into the consulate while yelling "Allahu Akbar" and placed a backpack with unknown contents in front of the building. Police cordoned off a large area around Karolinenplatz, and explosives experts later determined the backpack was harmless. Tram service was suspended during the operation. The man faces charges including property damage and resisting law enforcement; he was admitted to a hospital for evaluation.

In Uplifting News, Sheina Vaspi’s uphill race to the Paralympics highlights a unique moment for Israeli sport. Vaspi, 25, from Yesud HaMa’ala, is the only person on the planet carrying the blue-and-white flag for Israel on the slopes at the 2026 Winter Paralympic Games in Cortina-Milan. She arrived two months early to acclimate to the Italian Alps and speaks of a heavy responsibility and a sense that her mission comes from above as she trains toward the Games.

In Operation Lion's Raw, the IDF on Sunday attacked Iran's Aerospace Headquarters, a facility used by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to promote its aerospace efforts, including the 2022 Ka'yam satellite launch.

That Ka'yam mission was launched by Iran with a Russian Suu's rocket from the Baikonua Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. And at the time, raised serious national security and intelligence concerns for Israel and the West. Israeli officials had feared that Ka'yam and ongoing space cooperation between Moscow and Tehran could boost Iran's capabilities to launch long-range weapons and improve its monitoring of targets in the Jewish state and across the region, potentially impacting security in the near-term. In direct Israeli-run clashes, alarms activated. Alarms activated. In regional impacts, content labeled promotional material appears in Hebrew with additional items noting tensions on regional fronts. One entry Ka'yam's warnings tied to the north border and the broader conflict. Including references to ongoing air strikes and a complicated front with Lebanon, the UAE meanwhile reported that 42.8% of all Iranian attacks occurred on its territory, 1,276 plus, while Israel accounted for about 20.1% around 600 attacks.

In U.S. policy concerning Israel, U.S. intelligence says Mossad can catch Iranians within rich uranium if they try to use it. The New York Times, expanding on a September 2025 Jerusalem post-exclusive, notes that Mossad could locate Iran's remaining 60% in rich uranium if Tehran attempted to access and employ it. The Jerusalem post had reported that Mossad had a good handle on the location of uranium, not struck during Operation Rising Lion in June 2025, and could intervene if Tehran sought to move toward a nuclear weapon. The post also noted that Mossad would maintain a heavy focus on the issue at a minimum until Iran provides access to the uranium to IAEA inspectors. During the June 2025 operation, Israel and the United States destroyed much of Iran's three major nuclear facilities, Natans, Fordo and Isfahan, along with dozens of other sites. However, more than 400 kg of 60% in rich uranium was not destroyed, leaving a stock that could in theory be further enriched.

In anti-Semitism and anti-Jewish hate, a Yemeni national was arrested for throwing stones at the Israeli Consulate General in Munich, Germany, on Saturday. The 24-year-old suspect tried to barge into the Consulate while yelling, Al-Ahu Akbar, and placed a backpack with unknown contents in front of the building.
