About this episode

HEADLINES
Israel fires new strikes on Tehran
Iran vows ton-plus missiles and broader strikes
Hezbollah mobilizes for prolonged northern war

The time is now 6:02 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Operation Lion's Roar, the Israeli Defense Forces announced a fresh round of strikes in Tehran, with Iran reporting unusual flashes in the skies over Karaj and Tehran. The military later described a second, wide-scale wave of strikes in Tehran aimed at targets of the Iranian regime in the capital. Israeli officials have signaled concerns about a drawn-out confrontation, with some saying revenge has begun and a second warning would not be issued, while discussions continue about possible exit options from Iran.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, reports indicate launches from Iran, including a missile fired toward the north, as cross-border exchanges continue amid the broader confrontation.

In Iranian Retaliation, IRGC Aerospace Force commander Majid Mousavi said missiles with warheads weighing more than one ton will be used, and that the wavelength and intensity of launches will increase, with attacks broadening in scope, according to Iran International. The assessment notes that, despite strikes, Iran retains a capable arsenal including cruise missiles, cyber capabilities, and mines, per a Wall Street Journal report quoting analysts. Recent strikes have included the use of cluster munitions, contributing to casualties.

In US Military Role, President Donald Trump said operations Epic Fury and Roaring Lion against Iran are very far ahead of schedule and that the campaign is nearly complete, asserting that Iran has no navy, no communications, no air force, with missiles reduced to scattered attacks and drones being blown up. He indicated support for removing the newly ascended Iranian supreme leader if requirements are not met, a stance described to aides as part of an ongoing effort, as other officials noted in reporting. He also characterized the conflict for allies as a short-term excursion, repeating the term in remarks to House Republicans.

In Regional Impacts, civilians report returning to bomb shelters as alarms are activated and red alerts are issued along the northern border. Residents also note a powerful explosion reported in Karaj, underscoring the heightened security and civilian disruption tied to the ongoing hostilities.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards declared that any Arab or European country that expels the ambassadors of the US and Israel from its soil from tomorrow will be granted safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Israeli reporting also indicates Hezbollah is preparing for a prolonged conflict as attacks persist along the northern border.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, President Trump argued that the world does not need another Iranian leader who threatens global stability, reflecting a continuing focus on pressuring Tehran as the conflict persists.
