About this listen
Netanyahu readies Iran strike amid rumors
Pakistani plot suspect denies IRGC coercion
Hormuz chokepoint risks global oil supply
The time is now 12:03 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Worrying reports of an incident earlier today over Iran. More details are expected to be revealed soon.
In Iranian Retaliation, The Pakistani man accused of planning to kill US President Donald Trump told jurors he did not willingly work with Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps to devise the plot. He said his Iranian handler named Trump and also mentioned Biden and Haley as possible targets. Prosecutors rejected the claim, citing a lack of evidentiary support for coercion, and noted the IRGC’s central role in Iran, with its combination of military and economic power and an intelligence network.
In US Military Role, CENTCOM says the effort to eliminate the Iranian regime's mobile missile launch capabilities continues, and that they are finding and destroying these threats with lethal precision.
In Regional Impacts, The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most critical energy chokepoints on Earth, with nearly 20% of global oil and gas exports flowing through this narrow waterway between Iran and Oman. Everyone’s worried about what happens if this route gets disrupted or shut down.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, Behind public statements, Netanyahu has prepared Israel for years for a strike on Iran. Some tried to derail the plan, but he heard everything and ignored, and there are reports of a ground attack in Iran underway or planned. The US Senate has taken a dramatic action in a related decision, and the Bezalel Zini case and the arms smuggling to Gaza are noted, with a judge saying there is no basis for security offenses. In Beit Shemesh, although a shelter sustained a direct hit, most occupants survived. The Houthis have joined the broader campaign, and Gulf states are seen as targets. Operation "Lion’s Wings" is described as aiming to bring about 110,000 Israelis stranded abroad back home.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, A Jewish artist fled a Buenos Aires street fair after fellow vendors shouted “Zionists out” during a dispute over a Palestinian flag, with city officials condemning the antisemitic attack and barring those responsible from the fair. In Germany, authorities have intensified enforcement of speech restrictions tied to support for Palestinians or accusations against Israel, with Iris Hefets detained multiple times for signs such as “As a Jew and Israeli, stop the genocide in Gaza,” as police logs classify these offenses as hate speech amid rising antisemitic incidents since 2023.
In Uplifting News, The first rescue flight landed at Ben Gurion Airport, launching El Al’s passenger return operation. The Athens flight arrived after extensive preparations and is the first in a series of rescue flights planned for the next 24 hours. Israel is the only country where rescue flights bring people into the country during a conflict, and Israelis want to be home, even when the country is under attack.
