About this listen
Iran shields Pickaxe Mountain near Natanz
US mulls second carrier for Iran strike
PolyMarket bets scandal shatters IDF ethics
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 the conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, satellite imagery from February 10 shows Tehran moving to shield the underground Kolang-Gaz La Mountain facility near Natanz, a large tunnel complex that remains central to Iran’s nuclear program after most Natanz facilities were destroyed in June 2025. The site, known as Pickaxe Mountain, sits near Natanz’s cluster of facilities, with construction beginning in 2021 and public knowledge emerging in early 2022; officials say the facility is not believed to be operational. Tehran appears to have used delays in any potential American or Israeli strike since the December 28 protests began to reinforce defenses around the site. In related notes, a Hebrew-language post following a Trump-Netanyahu meeting claimed that the fate of Iran’s ayatollah regime is sealed, and Iran’s foreign minister attacked an Israeli paper over a report about executions.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, after a leaders’ summit President Donald Trump is weighing the deployment of a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East as preparations continue for a possible strike on Iran. The Pentagon has ordered a carrier strike group to prepare for deployment in the region, with officials saying the move could be authorized within hours, though no formal order has been issued yet. The carrier under consideration is believed to be the USS George H. W. Bush, currently in the Atlantic, and if deployed it would take about two weeks to reach the Middle East. A separate report confirms that the same carrier has been moved toward readiness for potential deployment.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, the IDF says the PolyMarket betting case represents a grave ethical failure and a clear red line violation, with arrests of several suspects including a civilian and reservists in a joint operation by security services for allegedly using highly classified information to place bets on military operations. The army says those involved will face criminal and disciplinary actions, and that no operational damage occurred as a result of the case. In response, procedures across units have been tightened to prevent repetitions of this conduct.
