 HEADLINESTrump frames Iran as imminent threatEC-130H Compass Call deployed to Middle EastNetanyahu urges alliance against Iran, Muslim BrotherhoodThe time is now 5:05 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, President Trump used his longest State of the Union address to frame Iran as an imminent threat, with senior lawmakers emerging from a classified briefing by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA chief John Ratcliffe saying the remarks would require the president to present his case to the American people. He outlined a case against Iran that cites the killing of tens of thousands of protesters, missiles capable of reaching the United States, and an ongoing refusal to rule out developing nuclear weapons, tying these concerns to Israel’s fears over nuclear ambitions, missiles, and proxies. Analysts say the speech appears to be laying groundwork for a potential conflict more than a path to peace, even as questions linger about the nuclear deal and what concessions might be sought.In US Policy Concerning Israel, President Trump said during the State of the Union that he would prefer a diplomatic resolution but warned that Iran is developing missiles capable of reaching the United States and that Iran can never be allowed to have nuclear weapons. Separately, the US military has deployed an EC-130H Compass Call electronic warfare aircraft to the Middle East as forces gather in the region ahead of possible action, a move described by defense observers as a strategic tool in electronic warfare. The aircraft is designed to jam and block enemy communications, disrupt radars, radios, and data networks, and it has the capability to interfere with missile and unmanned aerial vehicle operations, potentially penetrating the defenses and command networks of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.In Israeli Domestic Politics, Prime Minister Netanyahu told United Nations ambassadors that Israel is “very small, but very powerful,” urging the formation of a transcontinental alliance against Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood. A separate domestic media note highlights reaction from commentators as Israel’s political media landscape shifts in response to ongoing regional tensions, with coverage noting notable figures and moves within the Israeli public sphere.In Israeli Economy and Business, the rise of AI-driven “vibe coding” could replace the need for frontend developers within a two- to three-year horizon, with industry voices suggesting the shift may accompany a broader change in roles from designer to builder. Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design hosted a hackathon to demonstrate how AI-powered tooling can enable non-developers to produce functional platform features, a concept being implemented at PicTime, where co-founders say the technology converts designs into real products. The Hana curriculum and industry dialogue emphasize that AI-enabled builders may reshape product teams and the way digital products are assembled and launched.In Uplifting News, ILTV and CNN-News18 have partnered for a historic Modi visit broadcast, delivering simultaneous coverage from studios in Tel Aviv and Noida, Delhi. The collaboration aims to bring audiences in both countries closer to the diplomatic and strategic significance of the visit, underscoring ongoing cross-border media collaboration to illuminate international relations and travel moments for viewers on both sides.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
