About this episode

HEADLINES
Iran accuses US Tomahawk strike on Minab
US acknowledges deadly first-day school bombing mistake
Six Democrats push for Iran war hearings

The time is now 1:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, a new investigation has shed light on events surrounding a reported attack on a school in Iran at the start of the Middle East war. Iran accuses Israel and the United States of striking an elementary school in the southern city of Minab, saying more than 150 people were killed. US President Donald Trump has blamed Iran, while the Pentagon says it is investigating the incident. AFP has been unable to access the location to independently verify the circumstances or toll. Iranian authorities require explicit approval for foreign media to report outside Tehran. A video authenticated by the investigation shows a US Tomahawk cruise missile striking a structure described as a clinic inside a Revolutionary Guards base next to the school, and the report notes that the missile is associated with the United States; the evidence cited includes satellite imagery and other corroboration, though independent verification remains limited.

In US Military Role, Republican Senator John Kennedy was asked about the bombing of the girls’ primary school on the first day of Operation Epic Fury, which resulted in the death of roughly 175 children and which evidence suggests was inadvertently carried out by the US Air Force and Navy. “It was terrible. We made a mistake,” he said. “Other countries do that sort of thing intentionally, like Russia. We would never do that intentionally. I think the Department of Defense is investigating it now, and I'm sorry. It’s a mistake.”

In Regional Impacts, French President Emmanuel Macron promised that Europe would defend Cyprus during a visit to Paphos, meeting with Greece’s prime minister and Cyprus’s president. He characterized defending Cyprus as a key issue for France, Greece, and the European Union, in the context of a region directly touched by the Iran war. Cyprus had recently faced several combat drones, with two intercepted by British jets and a third crashing into a British air base on the island, where US reconnaissance planes were reportedly held. Macron said France and its allies would prepare a purely defensive, purely supportive mission in the area. Vietnam’s trade ministry urged local businesses to encourage employees to work from home to save on fuel as supply disruptions and price surges linked to the Iran war hit economies, noting Vietnam’s reliance on energy imports from the Middle East. Separately, Tel Aviv bomb disposal teams have been rushing to missile impact sites to neutralize unexploded fragments since the conflict began, warning the public not to approach, film, or touch debris.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the Syrian army said Hezbollah is reinforcing its forces at the Syria-Lebanon border and that it is in contact with the Lebanese army to consider appropriate options, adding that the Syrian army will not tolerate any aggression against the state. Iran has responded to President Trump’s remarks by proposing a deal with the world. Separately, a senior Yemeni official said that the group’s pledge of loyalty to Iran’s supreme leader demonstrates that the Houthis are not a local Yemeni project but an armed wing aligned with Iran and operating under guidance from Tehran as part of a broader regional strategy.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, six Democratic senators in the United States Senate pressed for immediate public hearings on the Iran war, seeking testimony under oath from senior administration officials and saying they would disrupt regular Senate business if Republicans resist. They argued for next week’s hearings with Defense Secretary and other top officials to clarify goals, duration, and plans, emphasizing the need for transparency for the American public and the protection of troops already in harm’s way.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, an editorial frames the current phase of the Iran war as testing Israel’s unity at home. As the conflict approaches its twelfth day, with Iran firing hundreds of missiles and Hezbollah contributing further strikes, the piece argues that internal political divisions could shape the outcome. It challenges past assurances about proportional responses and highlights recent attacks, stressing that Israel’s resilience on the home front will influence the eventual trajectory of the war.

In Uplifting News, five Iranian women soccer players were granted asylum in Australia after facing government pressure and being branded wartime traitors for refusing to sing the national anthem before an Asian Cup match. The group, including team captain Zahra Ghanbari, was moved to a safe location by the Australian Federal Police and granted protection, joining others who had sought safety amid reports of guardianship and state interference during their team’s overseas campaign. The players named were Zahra Ghanbari, Zahra Sarbali Alishah, Mona Hamoudi, Atefeh Ramezanizadeh, and Fatemeh Pasandideh.
