Natanz Strike Sparks International Dispute
Iran Prepares Direct Israel Confrontation
Regional War Front Expands Across Mideast
The time is now 7:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Operation Lion's Roar, Iran's state media and the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran say the United States and Israel struck the Shahid Ahmadi-Roshan Enrichment Complex in Natanz on Saturday, but officials report no radioactive leakage and no casualties. The AEOI said no radioactive leakage was detected and no casualties were reported, and it called on the International Atomic Energy Agency and the international community to condemn the attack as a violation of international law. The Israeli military said it was not aware of an Israeli strike targeting Natanz. Iranian opposition sources reported that a deputy commander of the Basij was killed in Tehran in a separate Israeli strike on March 17, along with other senior figures. Opposition outlets also described powerful morning strikes by the Israeli Air Force on an Iranian airbase in Dezful, in western Iran. Tasnim News Agency reported the Natanz attack, noting no abnormal radiation levels. During an operational activity by the Israeli Air Force in Iranian airspace, a surface-to-air missile was launched toward an Israeli aircraft; the crew acted in accordance with procedures, no damage occurred to the aircraft, and the mission was completed as planned. Iranian citizens documented several overnight attempts to launch interceptor missiles from mobile launchers toward Israeli air force planes over Tehran, as part of ongoing activity since Operation Roaring Lion. The IAEA later confirmed there was no rise in radiation levels at Natanz following the attack.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, a report argues that Iran is already preparing for a direct, high-intensity confrontation with Israel, signaling a potential widening of regional hostilities.
In US Military Role, the Israeli defense minister says this week the scale of Israeli and American attacks on Iran will be significantly amplified.
In Regional Impacts, analysis suggests Iran's missiles with a 2,500-mile range could reach targets across Europe, Africa, and Asia, indicating an expanded reach. Separately, a drone strike targeted a facility linked to Iraq’s National Intelligence Service in Baghdad’s Mansour district, killing one intelligence officer.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, behind-the-lines reporting notes that Iran's proxy militias are opening a third front in the war, with the US embassy in Baghdad hit by a rocket and drone attack and footage circulating of strikes on bases in Erbil; reports also describe attacks linked to Iran-backed groups and regional spillovers. In Metula, Israel, residents report two direct hits causing damage but no injuries.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, the British Defense Ministry says it has authorized the United States to use bases in Britain for limited, specific defensive actions.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, a New York postal worker was arrested for shoving a four-year-old Hassidic boy to the ground; authorities charged him with endangering the welfare of a child and attempted assault, after video footage captured the incident.
