About this listen
US Leverage Peaks as Iran Tensions Escalate
Netanyahu Eyes Basri for Senior Post
Tel Aviv Congestion Project Tied to Security
The time is now 1:01 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, observers say the next phase of pressure on Tehran is drawing near as Purim festivities begin this week, a period expected to boost activity in the entertainment sector but also posing security and planning risks for operators and authorities. The mood in Washington remains firm about Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, with reports that President Trump has reinforced the position that Iran must not obtain a nuclear weapon, a stance voiced in public remarks and tied to ongoing caution after years of diplomacy. In parallel, security developments on the ground include the arrest at Ben Gurion Airport of Shon Konstantini, a figure tied to a murder investigation, and the arrival of advanced US combat aircraft in Israel, underscoring a continued high level of deterrence coordination. Separately, a major infrastructure note links these security movements to a broader project aimed at easing congestion in Tel Aviv, a program targeting about six million travelers per year. Intelligence assessments describe this moment as the maximum window for US leverage over Iran, while analysts caution that an additional, less-discussed variable could prove decisive in future conflict. The timeline appears to be aligning with signals of a possible operation date, as officials weighing regional risk watch for any decisive shift. On the rhetoric and capability front, US voices have stressed that Iran already possesses missiles with Europe-wide reach and the potential to threaten overseas bases and, over time, the United States, reinforcing the view that any deal remains fraught and reliant on verifiable limits. In parallel, discussions around Iran highlight that protests in the country have been met with harsh crackdowns, with estimates of thousands killed in recent months, further coloring the assessment of Tehran’s regional posture. Taken together, the reporting depicts a landscape where strategic timelines, military deployments, and public messaging converge around a shared concern: Iran’s evolving capabilities and the potential for a broader confrontation that would reshape security dynamics across the region.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, reporting centers on disclosures about a senior role Netanyahu reportedly earmarked for Kinneret Basri, with one account quoting her claim that she faced a targeted action focused on her. A related piece from Galit Distal discusses the same matter, noting the high-level position Netanyahu had in mind for Basri and framing it as a notable development in internal political coverage.
