TBN IsraelTBN Israel’s Yair Pinto and Mati Shoshani report on the Israel-Iran and regional war. IRAN: Iran is attacking across the Middle East, hitting oil and water infrastructure in the Gulf while Israel continues broad strikes deep inside Iran. The Israeli Air Force struck targets in Tehran, Isfahan, and southern Iran, including the Revolutionary Guards’ drone headquarters, space headquarters, ballistic missile launch sites, Internal Security Forces compounds, and additional regime targets. The IDF also says it destroyed the Quds Force’s “oxygen pipeline” by striking its transport aircraft fleet.
LEADERSHIP: Iran announced that Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Ali Khamenei, has been chosen as the new Supreme Leader one week after his father was eliminated. Regime supporters celebrated in Tehran, even as Israeli airstrikes continued in the background, while other voices inside Iran warned that Mojtaba’s rise could bring even harsher revenge against ordinary civilians. President Trump said he is not pleased with the choice and would not say what he plans to do.
GULF: Iran is now threatening the true lifelines of the Gulf states: energy and water. Three water facilities were reportedly hit in Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait, after Tehran warned it would target desalination plants. Around 100 million people in the Gulf rely on these systems. Gulf officials now fear Tehran is trying to trigger a wider economic shock by threatening oil exports, tankers, ports, and water supplies.
LEBANON: The northern front is heating up as Hezbollah expands fire and the IDF responds with force. Division 36 joined the effort in southern Lebanon, where Israeli troops launched a targeted raid to destroy Hezbollah terror infrastructure. Launches from Lebanon reached central Israel and the Beit Shemesh area, while the IDF struck the launchers and widened operations against Hezbollah.
WASHINGTON: U.S. officials say the goal is to destroy Iran’s missile capabilities.
