HEADLINES
- Diplomacy Holds As Hormuz Tensions Escalate
- Erdoğan Drives NATO Israel Strike Debate
- Israel Aids US Against Iran If Asked
The time is now 5:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Push for diplomacy continues even as strikes in Iran, Hormuz intensify, US official says. A senior US official told CNN that diplomacy is continuing despite intermittent strikes in Iran, with the night passing without military action by either side as tensions remain high across the Middle East following days of escalation. The latest round began with attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, followed by US strikes in Iran and Iranian missile and drone attacks targeting US bases in the Gulf region. Meanwhile, former Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei was laid to rest four months after his assassination, with his funeral procession passing through several Shiite holy cities; his son, Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, was not seen during the procession, though other senior officials attended. Israel reportedly shared intelligence with the United States about a new Iranian plot to assassinate US President Donald Trump, according to the Wall Street Journal, and the Israeli Embassy in Washington declined to comment. Iran’s mission to the UN did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The White House referred the Wall Street Journal to remarks related to the report.
In ארדואן מהדק את אחיזתו בנאט"ו? מזכ"ל הברית לא פסל מתקפה על ישראל, the topic turns on a broader set of regional questions about NATO and Israel. Hebrew-language reporting raises questions about Erdoğan’s influence within the alliance and notes that the NATO Secretary General did not rule out a strike on Israel, reflecting heightened regional sensitivity as tensions in the region continue to be watched closely. The discussions reference a dramatic shift in regional dynamics and commentary about how alliances may adapt to ongoing threats and threats to allied interests, with analysts weighing potential moves as events unfold.
In מזכ"ל נאט"ו איים באופן מפורש על ישראל? "זכרו את ה-7 באוקטובר", similar language again centers on NATO’s posture amid the same volatile backdrop. The reports underscore caution about commitments and the possibility of rapid shifts in stance as leaders confront the consequences of recent attacks and the enduring strain on security in the region, including reminders of past incidents that are shaping current decisions and rhetoric.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, דרום לבנון: שני נפגעים בתקיפת כטב"מ ישראלי הבוקר על רכב פיק אפ - באזור שוכין - נפת נבטיה. תגובה אחת. South Lebanon authorities reported two people were injured when an Israeli unmanned aerial system attacked a pickup truck in the Shokhin area of the Nabatieh Governorate, marking another incident in the broader cycle of cross‑border attacks and responses that have characterized the region in recent days.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, Israel willing to assist US against Iran if Trump requests, despite no plans to join war - report. Reports out of Jerusalem say Israel is willing to join a US strike on Iran if President Trump requests it, with sources saying, “We’ve proved that we stand with the US. We need to stretch our muscles,” though Israeli officials added that the IDF is not planning to be drawn into the exchanges at this time and remains prepared for any eventuality. CENTCOM has said renewed strikes were in response to Iran’s attempts to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking civilian shipping in an international waterway, and officials cautioned that the broader expectation is that Iran does not intend to drag Israel into the conflict.
