Israeli forces have launched targeted strikes against Iranian military sites across Iran, destroying aircraft and missile facilities intended to threaten Israeli security. Iran has responded with aggressive rhetoric, promising heavy and precise retaliations, and threatening to escalate regional conflict. The United States has conducted its largest air raid in history against Iranian nuclear and missile sites, signaling its commitment to degrading Iran’s military capabilities. Meanwhile, Iran’s leadership hints at possible internal instability and regime change, with social media chatter suggesting Khamenei's grip on power may be weakening. The region remains on high alert as both sides prepare for continued engagement, with domestic Israeli measures tightening and international powers watching closely. The coming hours will be critical in shaping whether this cycle of escalation continues or if de-escalation can be achieved amidst fears of a broader regional war." }Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
