Description
HEADLINES
- Iran threatens US ground invasion and defeat
- Israel-US pilots join forces against Iran
- Ukraine offers sea drones for Hormuz defense
The time is now 6:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Iranian Retaliation, Iran’s military spokesman said Tehran is waiting for a ground invasion by the United States to teach a lesson the world will never forget, and warned that any ground intervention would be met with unprecedented defeats.
In US Military Role, Shmuel Rosner, a senior fellow at the Jewish People Policy Institute, offered his assessment of Israel’s current war with Iran, describing the conflict as unprecedented for Israel and noting that cooperation with the United States is unique, with Israeli and American pilots working together. He outlined potential outcomes ranging from regime change in Iran to the destruction of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, while cautioning that a negative result could leave Iran with its nuclear capabilities and regional influence. He emphasized the difficulty of predicting how the war will unfold and highlighted the significant role the United States plays in backing Israel, while noting that differing national perspectives can create strategic gaps and that Israel at times has expressed stronger confidence in the current US administration. Separately, a report circulated that Pete Hegseth urged the chairman of the US military, Randy George, to resign immediately.
In Regional Impacts, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy offered Ukraine’s maritime expertise to help other countries keep the Strait of Hormuz open, saying Ukraine has experience defending and reopening sea routes and that its Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha participated in a virtual meeting with about 40 countries. Zelenskiy noted Ukraine’s technology and know-how, including sea drones developed during four years of war, could be shared with partners ready to act as he continues a Middle East tour to provide defense technology. Bahrain’s foreign minister, Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, addressing the United Nations Security Council, warned that Iran’s actions threaten global economic stability by endangering maritime navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and urged a vote on a draft resolution to protect commercial shipping, which would authorize all necessary means to safeguard shipping in and around Hormuz. Amazon said Bahrain’s cloud operations were disrupted after Iranian threats to US companies, following Iran’s warning on April 1 to target American interests. Iran’s Channel 3 aired remarks from a presenter claiming the United Arab Emirates was participating in attacks on Iran and that every centimeter of the UAE would be a legitimate target, suggesting preparations to hit symbols of government and civilian sites in the UAE.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, a report notes that Vance relayed Trump’s push for a Iran deal and warned of pressure on infrastructure if talks fail, with the message passed through mediators from Pakistan and Turkey who have been involved in communications between Washington and Tehran.
