Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2026-03-14 at 13:02

About this episode

HEADLINES
Israel strikes Tehran kills Iran intelligence chiefs
Iran vows missile rampage threatens Hormuz
Kuwait drones strike Al Jaber Air Base

The time is now 1:02 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Operation Lion's Roar, the documentation of the attack on the aircraft was presented to the prime minister and the defense minister.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, the Israeli Defense Force said a precise strike in Tehran eliminated two senior intelligence officers of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Emergency Command, Abdollah Jalali-Nasab and Amir Shariat, who led the Intelligence Directorate and were close to the leadership of the Iranian regime. The two were appointed to replace the head of the directorate, Saleh Asadi, in the opening blow of Operation Roaring Lion, and were among the most senior figures in Iran’s intelligence apparatus. In a separate operational update, a report from the Hebrew-language account said that during the course of Operation Shagat Ha’Ari there was an attempt to down a nearby Israeli fighter jet; the attempt failed due to the pilot’s vigilance and professionalism, and the mission was completed successfully. The incident is being studied for lessons learned, and the Israeli Air Force will continue to fly and strike as needed, including in Iranian skies, under the ongoing campaign.

In Iranian Retaliation, Iran warned it would escalate its missile campaign, signaling the use of upgraded weapons including ballistic missiles and other systems with greater destructive power, precision, and maneuverability as the war with Israel continues. The warning accompanies reporting that Iran has carried out missile activity amid the broader conflict, even as Israel asserts it has degraded a large portion of Iran’s ballistic missile launchers, indicating Tehran could sustain fire for an extended period. Separately, former Iranian officials have suggested that the Strait of Hormuz should be managed by regional countries, with threats to keep the waterway closed until Iran is satisfied with conditions, including demands that the United States withdraw and that Iran receive guarantees against future threats; Tehran has indicated it will only consider stopping the fighting on its terms and after receiving compensation for damages.

In US Military Role, the headlines describe a broad nighttime campaign reported against more than 90 military targets on Kharg Island, a key hub for Iran’s oil exports. The reporting also notes that Trump has threatened to strike oil facilities on the island if Iran does not allow safe passage through the Hormuz Strait, while Iranian officials have signaled that they will act to close Hormuz in response.

In Regional Impacts, Kuwait’s defense ministry says seven Iranian drones attacked the country this evening, with three intercepted, two falling in open fields, and two targeting Ahmed Al-Jaber Air Base, causing material damage in the vicinity; three Kuwaiti armed forces members sustained minor injuries. The Kuwaiti Army later confirmed that several Iranian drones struck Ahmed Al Jaber Air Base, causing further damage. In the wider region, Iranian missiles have reportedly struck the Citibank office in Dubai. Additionally, Route 4 in the north was reported closed due to a fall from air-defense debris.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, an analysis within this topic describes the substantial difficulties Iran faces despite its Houthis, noting the broader regional dynamics and associated moves in the region.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, a report indicates the Trump administration has delayed efforts to initiate ceasefire talks with Iran, while Iran has made clear it will not accept a ceasefire so long as attacks continue.

In Israeli Economy and Business, Israel has offered to manufacture Iron Dome on German soil. In an interview with Bild, Rafael board member Yuval Steinitz explained that producing the Iron Dome in Germany could strengthen Europe’s security, create jobs in Germany, and deepen technology transfers; the Iron Dome is part of Israel’s layered defense and has intercepted short-range missiles and drones, with its use emphasized since the October 7, 2023 attacks.
