 HEADLINESIsrael fires 14th strike on Tehran infrastructureUS strikes Shahid Bagheri; probes school attackUAE to freeze Iranian assets amid tensionsThe time is now 12:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Operation Lion's Roar, the IDF spokesperson says a 14th airstrike wave has begun, targeting the infrastructure of the Iranian terror regime in Tehran, with a broad new campaign now underway.In US Military Role, US Central Command released footage of a strike on Iran’s 240-meter drone carrier Shahid Bagheri, described as loaded with UAVs, helicopters, attack boats and advanced defense systems. Separately, US military investigators believe it is likely that US forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school that killed dozens of children, though they have not yet reached a final conclusion and the investigation continues; the Pentagon has denied targeting civilians, and details on the munition, responsibility, or reasons for the strike have not been disclosed.In Regional Impacts, the United Arab Emirates is considering freezing Iranian assets on its territory, according to the Wall Street Journal, with UAE officials conveying the threat to Iranians in talks between the parties.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, an editorial notes that Iran handed its neighbors a lesson they didn’t ask for and cannot unlearn, arguing that Gulf states are now aligning more clearly against Tehran as missiles have delivered a stark, clarifying message about regional dynamics and the limits of ambiguity. Separately, several dozen IRGC officers have fled Beirut over the past 48 hours, fearing Israeli strikes, with Hezbollah warning Israelis near the border to evacuate and Lebanese authorities taking steps that could restrict Iranian personnel and entry regulations.In US Policy Concerning Israel, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a 30-day permit allowing Indian refineries to purchase oil from Russia to mitigate potential disruptions to Gulf imports caused by the war. Also, Republican Senator Tim Sheehy of Montana helped Capitol Police forcibly remove a protester who shouted “No one wants to fight for Israel” during a Senate hearing, with the protester later claiming injury on social media and authorities saying protests are not allowed inside Congressional buildings.In Israeli Domestic Politics, an editorial argues that Netanyahu deserves credit for Israel’s recent success against Iran, but accountability remains and leadership must translate military gains into a durable strategy, noting Netanyahu’s long focus on Iran since the 1990s and the broad support from allied intelligence and defense communities in achieving the outcome.In Israeli Economy and Business, a long-form analysis contends that Dubai has been Iran’s financial oxygen for forty years, a conduit for moving funds despite sanctions, and that closing it required UAE cooperation the UAE has resisted for sovereign reasons; the UAE is now said to be considering providing it, a shift that would have significant implications for Iran’s access to global finance and for regional sanctions enforcement as described by the analysis and reported by the Wall Street Journal.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
