- Isfahan Holds Most Enriched Uranium, IAEA Says
- US Blockade Drags Iran Oil Revenues Down
- Daughter Keeps Father's Oct 7 Mission Alive

The time is now 2:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, the majority of Iran’s enriched uranium is likely at the Isfahan nuclear complex, which was struck in the June 12-day war and during Operations Roaring Lion and Epic Fury, according to IAEA chief Rafael Grossi. Satellite imagery continues to show the effects of US and Israeli airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites. On June 9, 2025, just before the war began, Airbus satellite images showed a truck carrying 18 blue containers entering the Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center; the containers are believed to contain highly enriched uranium and have likely not been moved. Grossi stressed that IAEA statements about nuclear materials and site conditions are estimates, as Iran has not allowed IAEA inspections. “We haven’t been able to inspect or to reject that the material is there and that the seals remain there,” he said, and he expressed hope that inspectors will be granted access in the future.

In US Military Role, the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has cost Iran nearly $5 billion in oil revenue, according to Pentagon officials cited by Axios. More than 40 vessels carrying oil and other contraband have been redirected since the blockade began on April 13. Two ships have been seized, and 31 tankers carrying about 53 million barrels of Iranian oil are stuck in the Gulf of Oman, valued at over $4.8 billion. Iran is reportedly running out of storage capacity for the oil it produces and could reach capacity within 15 to 60 days. Oil is being stored onshore and on floating storage aboard Very Large Crude Carriers, with VLCCs typically carrying about two million barrels. A US official said the blockade is “working to perfection,” noting there is no economic trade into or out of Iran as a result.

In Uplifting News, “‘Everyone knew he was dead except us’: father killed on Oct. 7 lives on through daughter’s mission.” Mere weeks after moving to Ofakim, Avi Zakuto left home on October 7 to help residents and never returned; as a photo of his body circulated in local group chats, his daughter kept calling, still clinging to hope.
