The time is now 6:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Iranian Retaliation, fire continues near Hormuz as Washington awaits a serious Iranian response to its war-ending proposal, while Tehran mocks US pressure. Satellite images indicate that recent strikes have significantly set back Iran’s nuclear weapons capabilities.

In US Military Role, Iranian officials describe US attacks on Iranian oil tankers as a violation of the ceasefire and American terrorism, warning that a re-entry into the Persian Gulf would draw a decisive response and risk a resumption of conflict. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman urged against adventurism and roguish behavior, criticizing what was described as “a light slap” rhetoric. Separately, US Central Command said retaliatory strikes on Iranian military facilities were carried out, targeting inbound threats and sites responsible for attacks on US forces, including missile and drone launch locations.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, Israel and Lebanon will resume negotiations on May 14-15 with US mediation to pursue a comprehensive peace and security agreement that addresses borders, humanitarian relief, reconstruction, and Lebanon’s sovereignty. The talks are conditioned on the full restoration of Lebanese state authority and the complete disarmament of Hezbollah, according to the State Department. Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said Lebanon is committed to ensuring weapons remain in the hands of the state in line with government decisions.

In Israeli Economy and Business, S&P has confirmed Israel’s credit rating at A with a stable outlook.
