 HEADLINESMuscat talks keep Iran enrichment underwayArdabil protests reveal IRGC rift and deathsNetanyahu rejects Epstein Israel conspiracy theoriesThe time is now 11:02 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In the conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, indirect US–Iran nuclear talks were held today in Muscat, Oman, with Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi mediating between separate delegations led by Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and the US team headed by envoy Steve Witkoff, together with Jared Kushner and CENTCOM commander Admiral Brad Cooper. Iran pressed to keep its nuclear enrichment underway and did not concede on ending enrichment, while both sides maintained their initial positions. Iran said the atmosphere was positive and that there is an agreement to continue negotiations in general, with the hope that subsequent sessions will establish a clearer framework for talks. Araghchi stressed that the negotiations focused on nuclear issues and that no other topics, including regional security, were raised. In the meantime, signs of strain within Iran’s security establishment surfaced, with some IRGC members expressing dissatisfaction over the handling of protests and at least one member in Tehran reporting a resignation. New footage from Ardabil showed a security vehicle deliberately ramming protesters, resulting in the death of at least one woman and injuries to three others. The discussions in Muscat followed reports that Iran has refused to halt uranium enrichment in talks, a stance echoed in coverage of the talks’ conclusion, which saw the two sides agree to a further round of discussions but without a fixed date or venue, as both sides seek to build trust and outline a framework for future negotiations. Separately, authorities acknowledged ongoing demonstrations and related tensions, including reports of a large fire at a cooling facility in Ardabil linked by Iranian sources to the storage of corpses from protests, fueling fears about how casualties are handled. When asked whether regional security concerns had been introduced into the talks, Araghchi reaffirmed that the current track centers on Iran’s nuclear program and did not mention any other issues.In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to months of antisemitic conspiracy theories circulating online, rejecting claims that Jeffrey Epstein acted on behalf of Israel. Netanyahu noted Epstein’s connections to Ehud Barak do not indicate Israeli involvement; rather, critics point to Barak’s own actions since leaving office, including efforts over two decades to challenge Israeli democracy through associations with radical anti-Zionist elements. In Israeli Domestic Politics, a close associate of the prime minister, Amir Dror, a former head of Netanyahu’s security detail and now a political candidate with the Democratic Party, discussed his background and years alongside the prime minister in a podcast, touching on family and political dynamics and highlighting contentious moments involving Sara and Yair Netanyahu, among other topics. The same coverage notes a high-profile incident in which a bus collided with a storefront in Ramat Gan, injuring 11 people, including a young woman in critical condition, with investigators ruling out a terror motive. Other items referenced include debates over Israel’s next airport site, remarks from retired officers about security implications, and provocative comments about accountability and national security, all framed within the ongoing domestic political discourse surrounding the prime minister and his circle.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
