Trump: Iran uranium removal will take time
A-10 Warthog extended to 2030
Pakistan urges two-week ceasefire extension via talks

The time is now 2:02 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Trump says removing the enriched uranium from Iran will be a long process and will take time.

In US Military Role, According to US Secretary of the Air Force Dr. Troy E. Meink, after a consultation with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the service life of the A-10 Warthog will be extended to 2030. The aircraft has been used to great effect in both defensive and offensive operations against Iran since the conflict began in the Middle East.

In Regional Impacts, Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has asked the US and Iran to extend the nominal ceasefire by two extra weeks, as negotiations in Islamabad work toward a longer-term framework. Talks in Islamabad are expected to continue in the next 24 hours. CNN reports talks are set for tomorrow, while the New York Post reports the US delegation led by Vice President JD Vance is arriving in Pakistan today for talks. Reuters, citing a senior Iranian official, says Iran is considering attending talks in Islamabad as mediators work to end the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Lebanon's Amal-linked speaker Nabih Berri says there will be no yellow line in southern Lebanon and that if the Israeli enemy remains, it will meet resistance. Niagara Falls was lit orange tonight in memory of Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir Bibas. The Golani Brigade commander described Memorial Day as a hard day, but an important one, and said that while Israel honors the fallen, the nation will move forward. He added that in 24 hours, as another operation begins, Israel will be able to celebrate Independence Day thanks to the fallen, the fighters, and the families behind them.

In Uplifting News, Israel's 78th Independence Day: Optimism, not pessimism, will rebuild the nation. An editorial argues optimism has fueled Israel's survival and growth, noting the country has welcomed new immigrants and ranks high in the World Happiness Report. The piece recalls how, in recent Independence Days, the mood shifted from gloom to a renewed sense of purpose, and it suggests the country was built by optimists and will be rebuilt.

On Memorial Day, we remember those who did not return and those who returned but continue to fight inside. The message honors Eliran Mizrahi and calls turning pain into action, including support for a center to help veterans facing post-traumatic stress, with donations urged.
