Israel Targets Iran’s Nuclear Capabilities in Major Strikes
Iran Faces Internal Turmoil Amid Israeli Attacks
Houthi Missiles Hit Tel Aviv as Regional Tensions Explode

The time is now 12:30 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

Today’s top story centers on the ongoing escalation in the Middle East, with Israel conducting a series of significant military operations aimed at degrading Iranian military capabilities and its proxies. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly reaffirmed Israel’s commitment to its security, stating that “we have taken Iran’s nuclear program significantly backwards,” while emphasizing that Israel remains determined to complete its mission. He also dismissed reports suggesting that the United States has vetoed the targeted killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, stating that Israel will act as necessary to protect itself.

In Iran, the response to Israel’s strikes has been vehement and turbulent. After days of air and missile attacks, Iran’s regime is experiencing considerable turmoil, with reports of high-ranking officials, including members of the Revolutionary Guard’s intelligence apparatus, being targeted and eliminated. Iranian sources claim that Iran’s top intelligence commander and his deputy were caught in the aftermath of Israeli strikes on Tehran, raising fears of internal instability. Meanwhile, Iran’s cities are witnessing a wave of protests and unrest, with initial signs of civilian discontent beginning to surface—an uncommon phenomenon in a regime known for its strict repression.

Israeli military sources report that the Israeli Air Force has launched an extensive campaign, targeting key strategic sites across Iran, including the city of Mashhad, where an Iranian aircraft was struck. These operations have included the longest-range airstrikes in recent history, with aircraft flying over 2,300 kilometers to reach their targets. The IDF’s chief of staff confirmed that these strikes aim to dismantle Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and military command centers, with many targets destroyed or severely damaged.

The situation in Iran remains volatile, with reports indicating that the regime’s currency has devalued sharply, inflation is rising, and there are signs of potential military desertions. Iranian authorities have begun to close down some of their diplomatic missions abroad, and there are reports of elite officials, including some nuclear scientists, being assassinated or fleeing the country. Intelligence sources suggest that Israel’s Mossad has established covert bases inside Iran, including a drone operation center, to facilitate ongoing strikes.

Meanwhile, the conflict has expanded beyond Iran’s borders. Yemen’s Houthi insurgents have launched missile and drone attacks against Israeli-controlled areas, including a recent ballistic missile barrage targeting Tel Aviv, which resulted in casualties and damage. Israel responded with targeted strikes in Sanaa, aiming at Houthi military leaders. The Houthis have claimed that their actions are coordinated with Iran, which continues to supply them with weapons, including ballistic missiles and drones.

Regional tensions are rising, with Turkey deploying missile defense systems along its border with Iran, signaling heightened alertness. At the same time, the United States under the current administration has publicly kept its options open, with President Donald Trump suggesting the possibility of involvement should the conflict escalate further. Trump emphasized that both Israel and Iran should pursue diplomatic solutions, but he also indicated that the US might become more directly involved if necessary, citing past successful interventions in other regional conflicts.

International reactions remain divided. Protests have erupted in the Netherlands, where tens of thousands gathered to condemn what they call a “genocide” in Gaza, demanding stronger sanctions against Israel. Meanwhile, the United Nations is deliberating on cases brought against Israel for alleged violations of international law, with Israel firmly rejecting any accusations of war crimes.

Amidst the chaos, there are reports of covert operations and sabotage activities within Iran, including the discovery of a drone workshop linked to Israel. Iran’s leadership continues to issue threats, warning of retaliatory strikes and warning that Tehran’s defenses remain vigilant, despite the ongoing attacks.

In summary, the region is witnessing a dangerous and dynamic phase of conflict, with Israel actively countering Iranian influence and military assets, while Iran’s regime appears to be fraying internally and externally. The international community watches closely as the situation could escalate further, with possible implications for global security and stability.
