- US Attacks 5,500 Targets Sinks 60 Ships
- Hormuz At Risk as Oil Markets React
The time is now 9:03 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, the IDF says Iran has been launching ballistic missiles and drones from densely populated civilian areas, putting Iranian civilians at risk when launchers are used and when they are later targeted by Israeli strikes. The military's Persian-language spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel (Reserve) Kamal Penhasi, said the IDF released footage showing an airstrike on a missile launcher positioned under a bridge and urged Iranian civilians to stay away from launch sites for their own safety. A base of the Revolutionary Guards Navy in Bandar Abbas was attacked. An Iranian missile was intercepted over central Israel a short time ago. Interceptions in central Israel were reported.
In Iranian Retaliation, urgent warning from the central headquarters of Khatam al-Anbiya, the emergency military command in Iran: "We call on all residents of the region (Persian Gulf countries) to stay at least one kilometer away from banks." The American-Israeli enemy attacked one of the banks of the Islamic Republic of Iran last night, and accordingly, this aggression will be met with a response targeting American and Israeli interests in the region. America should expect our firm response to its recent aggression.
In US Military Role, CENTCOM released a full update on Operation Epic Fury. CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper said the United States attacked 5,500 targets in Iran and sank 60 ships of the Iranian navy.
In Regional Impacts, concerns over Hormuz remain central as Iran’s actions ripple beyond the battlefield. Noting that roughly one-fifth of global petroleum liquids passes through the Strait of Hormuz, Israel's ambassador to the United States warned that the confrontation with Iran affects more than Israel and could unsettle oil markets. The possibility of mining or disruption in the waterway has drawn sharp warnings from Washington, while President Trump indicated on Truth Social that mines would have to be removed immediately and that the United States would pursue military options if needed. Israel’s ambassador also argued that the broader campaign is aimed at stopping Iran. The region has seen casualties across multiple sides: Iran has reported 1,255 killed and 12,000 injured; Lebanon 570 killed and 1,444 injured; Israel 13 killed and about 2,000 injured; Iraq 15 killed; Jordan 14 injured; Kuwait 6 killed and dozens injured; Bahrain 2 killed and dozens injured; Saudi Arabia 2 killed and 12 injured; the United Arab Emirates 6 killed and 122 injured; Qatar 16 injured; Oman 1 killed and 5 injured; and the US military 8 killed and 140–150 injured. In Dubai, two Ghanaian nationals, a Bangladeshi, and an Indian national were injured this morning after an Iranian drone attack on Dubai International Airport. Iran has continued exporting oil to China, shipping roughly 11.7 to 12 million barrels since February 28, with several tankers going dark to avoid tracking and sanctions. Some shipments have moved through the Gulf of Oman’s Jask terminal to bypass Hormuz, though that route is slower and less efficient than Kharg Island.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, IDF Chief Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir ordered reinforcements to the north, moving the Golani Brigade from the Southern Command to the Northern Command, with the possibility of further deployments as the situation evolves. Analysts have noted Hezbollah’s decision to enter the conflict after the February strikes, and Israel has since targeted Hezbollah locations in southern Lebanon and Beirut. A wave of Israeli airstrikes overnight and this morning hit Hezbollah command centers and weapons storage sites in Beirut’s southern suburbs, and
