HEADLINES- Former Mossad Official: Covert Iran Ground Ops- Iran Warns All Embassies If Beirut Attacked- B2 Bombers Deploy for Iran StrikeThe time is now 11:03 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, a former senior Mossad official says covert ground operations inside Iran should not be ruled out in the current campaign. He notes there is no doubt that such and other forces, certainly Americans and perhaps others as well, operate on the ground covertly, with special units. He adds that in modern warfare, the decisive factor is not only missiles and bombs; sometimes the most impressive work is writing code and the people on the ground, and that such an operation is a marathon that ends in 40 seconds or one minute, the result of long intelligence preparations and strict secrecy.In Iranian Retaliation, Iran’s armed forces spokesperson Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi warned that if Israel attacks Iran’s embassy in Beirut, all of this regime’s embassies worldwide would become legitimate targets. He said Israel has threatened to target the Iranian embassy in Lebanon, and that if such an attack occurs, all Iranian embassies would be targeted. Iran’s military added that while it has not yet targeted Zionist embassies out of respect for other countries, it would respond by targeting all Israeli embassies if Israel targets the Iranian Embassy in Lebanon.In US Military Role, reports describe a plan by the IDF and the US military to strike thousands of Iranian targets in a sweeping campaign, with Gulf states reportedly one step away from joining the fight. Separately, CENTCOM has said for the first time that long-range precision missiles were used, and a tally from the region indicates that more than 20 Iranian vessels have been destroyed. A report cited that US B-2 stealth bombers would be deployed in coming days to bases in Britain and at Diego Garcia to support potential strikes, a move framed as a reversal by Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Shared messaging from officials is that the focus would be on eliminating missile launchers while other targets would be addressed by allied forces.In Regional Impacts, officials say a UK warship headed to Cyprus will not set sail from Britain until next week as part of Britain's support to defensive operations in the region, with HMS Dragon and two Wildcat helicopters planned for deployment; this follows drone attacks in the region and an overnight strike on the RAF base Akrotiri. An opinion piece examines potential repercussions if Iran were to fall, noting a broad regional response and the US buildup of naval and military assets, with references to potential leadership pathways in Iran and discussions with Iranian monarchist figures. The Jerusalem Post roundup reports Turkey has joined the fighting, and mentions that Khamenei’s son is being discussed as a successor. Explosions were also reported in Bahrain.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, two IDF tank soldiers were moderately wounded by an anti-tank missile during ground operations in southern Lebanon, marking the first such injuries in this phase of the operation. The military said the soldiers were evacuated to a hospital and their families were informed, as the fighting continues to unfold in the region.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
