US weighs strike proxies threaten global retaliation
Limited Iran strike sparks European security fears
Iran to ship half enriched uranium abroad

The time is now 9:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In the conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, a phase of potential escalation is taking shape as Washington weighs military options. Officials say Iran could order its proxies to retaliate against American targets worldwide if the United States launches large-scale attacks, with possible actions by groups such as the Houthis, Hezbollah and other affiliates that could strike US bases or Western embassies in Europe. Intercepted communications have shown heightened chatter suggesting some level of attack planning and coordination, and defense planners have moved to bolster defenses with additional Patriot batteries and other measures.

In the same context, fears of retaliation in Europe are rising as discussion of a limited strike on Iran gains traction. Advisers say a limited action within days is being considered to pressure Tehran on its nuclear program, with broader action possible later, and there is talk of tightly capped enrichment as part of a possible package. The prospect of a restrained strike has heightened concerns about retaliatory attacks across Europe and the broader Middle East.

In parallel, Iran has indicated it is prepared to make major concessions in talks with the United States, seeking sanctions relief and recognition of its right to enrich. A senior Iranian official described potential moves such as sending half of its most highly enriched uranium abroad to a country like Russia, while diluting the rest and taking part in a regional enrichment consortium that would place much of Iran’s enrichment activity under the oversight and involvement of other Middle Eastern partners. The aim is to prevent a future attack by reducing domestic enrichment and increasing international monitoring.
