 HEADLINESUS Israel strike Iran as Khamenei movedIran internet outage alarms observersIsrael drills safe rooms as sirens blareThe time is now 4:01 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, the region is watching a rapidly evolving confrontation as Iran confronts Israel and the United States. Iran reports a near-total internet outage, with connectivity down to about four percent as authorities seek to curb civilian organization amid the crisis. Citizen-shared footage and reports cited by outlets show strikes on government and IRGC facilities, including claims of hits on Tehran’s Intelligence Ministry and possibly the Office of the Supreme Leader, though Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is not in Tehran and has been moved to a secure location. Tehran has signaled retaliation as the leadership remains away from the capital; officials confirmed Khamenei’s relocation to a secure site. The United States and Israel have launched a broad wave of strikes against Iran, with dozens of strikes fired from aircraft and ships in the region, and explosions reported in several Iranian cities. The campaign follows a long US military buildup and is described as potentially more extensive than previous operations against Iran. Iranian officials have warned of a “crushing” response, saying there are no red lines and that all options are on the table, including actions against American and Israeli assets in the region. Some targets described by sources include missile launchers and UAV bases aimed at protecting the Israeli home front. A Mossad-backed Farsi Telegram channel was launched to invite Iranians to share photos and videos of their “just struggle against the regime,” while Tehran and other Iranian outlets reported explosions in Tehran, Qom, Isfahan, Kermanshah, and Karaj, and noted the Supreme Leader’s secure relocation. The airspace was closed in Iran, and officials described the operation as an escalation planned over months. In Israel, sirens were heard across central regions as the conflict expanded, with reports of injuries as people moved to protected spaces and continuing alerts. Regional observers quoted by outlets described the confrontation as involving broader bets against American and Israeli interests in the Middle East, signaling a wider clash.In Israeli Domestic Politics, the focus is on civil-defense guidance as the country braces for further attacks. The IDF spokesperson reiterated a directive to remain in protected spaces and to follow Home Front Command guidance, with air defenses identifying and intercepting threats as warnings continue. Meanwhile, a published guide outlines what must be in the safe room, what items should be removed immediately, and how to ensure the room is ready when sirens sound, reflecting practical steps for households under pressure.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
