The time is now 11:01 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, Iran's foreign minister Abbas Arakchi pushed back on remarks by the American envoy Steve Whitkoff, who said President Trump was curious why Iran had not yielded. Arakchi replied, “Curious to know why we don't yield? Because we are Iranians.” Separately, Iranian President Masoud Fazkhian posted on X that Iran is committed to peace and stability in the region. He said the latest round of negotiations included practical proposals and encouraging signals, and that Tehran will continue to monitor US actions and has prepared for any scenario.

A Reuters report says Tehran is weighing new concessions in talks, including sending half of its most enriched uranium abroad, diluting the remainder, and joining a regional enrichment consortium. Tehran would pursue this in exchange for American recognition of Iran's right to peaceful enrichment and the removal of sanctions.

The New York Times cites US and Western officials saying Iran could order its proxies to attack American targets worldwide if Trump orders large-scale strikes. Potential attacks could include the Houthis resuming attacks on Western shipping in the Red Sea, and Hezbollah, al-Qaeda, and other affiliates targeting US bases or European embassies. Officials note heightened chatter about planning, and the Pentagon has moved to bolster defenses with additional Patriot batteries.

A separate assessment notes Trump’s threats to attack Iran offer little detail on long-term goals. He has moved ships and fighter aircraft to the region and faces a range of options, from surgical strikes on the IRGC or its missile program to possible regime change. Trump says he would decide in 10 to 15 days whether to order strikes if no nuclear deal is reached, with reports that he has been shown a broad array of options.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, the mother of captive Matan Tsangaoker attended a protest against IDF soldiers and the fallen, where a soldier addressed Einat Tsangaoker, asking, “Aren’t you ashamed?”
