Iran

President Donald Trump delivered a brief statement this evening, saying he feels Iran "deceived him." Iran responded with a threat of its own.

Amid the exchange of fire between Washington and Tehran, President Donald Trump said that "the Iranian military is in total disarray, the bully of the Middle East is dead!" In a follow-up interview with Fox News, he escalated his tone: "I am close to ordering additional strikes in Iran."

U.S. Central Command said just before midnight that it had launched a series of strikes on targets in Iran, describing the operation as a response to the downing of an American combat helicopter. Kurdish outlets also reported casualties after drone and missile strikes on their bases in Iraq.

Lebanese media aligned with Hezbollah published a piece urging President Joseph Aoun to back away from efforts to advance an agreement with Israel, while also threatening to reveal secrets tied to his past.

Satellite images released after Iran’s missile barrage appear to show possible damage at Israel’s Ramat David Air Base. The assessment is based on a comparison with earlier imagery, though the full extent of the damage remains unclear.

A 44-year-old Haifa resident was arrested on suspicion of carrying out assignments for Iranian intelligence operatives and being paid in cryptocurrency. According to the investigation, the contact was conducted under business cover and continued for months.

At least two American citizens are currently being held in Iranian prisons, one of them Jewish. Washington has classified them as "wrongfully detained," and President Donald Trump said, "I will do my best to bring them home."

Trump publicly urged restraint, but reports say Netanyahu argued that failing to respond would reward Iran and weaken U.S.-led talks

Vice President JD Vance told Fox News that a long-term deal on Iran’s nuclear program may be possible — and that Israel may or may not welcome it. Overnight, the Israeli Air Force intercepted a drone launched from Yemen toward Eilat.

Months after the deadly wave of protests that swept Iran, disturbing new testimony is revealing the full scale of the horror the regime in Tehran worked to keep out of sight: mass killings with heavy machine guns, financial extortion of bereaved families, and shocking accounts of torture inflicted on medical staff who refused to abandon the wounded.

European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas announced new sanctions against Iran and Iranian entities, saying that "Iran poses a danger to international maritime traffic."

Iran said it is ending its military operations against Israel and added: "If you attack Lebanon, we will respond with even greater force." Earlier, President Donald Trump called for an immediate ceasefire. A senior Israeli official said: "We will also bomb Dahieh if the attacks on our communities and civilians continue."

The IDF has released its first color footage from the latest strikes in Iran. According to the military, air defense systems in the western and central parts of the country were destroyed as part of an effort to expand aerial freedom of operation.

Wizz Air announced a temporary suspension of its flights to Israel בעקבות the security escalation. Even with the cancellations, officials at Ben Gurion Airport stress that operations are continuing as usual and the airspace remains open.

Iranian air defense systems were activated after what state media described as the detection of "hostile targets." The IDF confirmed strikes on several targets in the petrochemical complex in Mahshahr, in southern Iran.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said the U.S. bears direct responsibility for violating the ceasefire and fueling the regional escalation: "Washington's responsibility for violating the ceasefire is clear."

After the missile fire from Iran and growing fears of a wider escalation, Israel’s Home Front Command has tightened restrictions nationwide. The measures include canceling classes, limiting gatherings, and weighing cuts to activity at Ben Gurion Airport.
