Israel running critically low on ballistic missile interceptors — U.S. officials warn

U.S. officials told Haaretz that Israel has informed Washington it is running critically low on ballistic missile interceptors as sustained Iranian missile salvos enter Day 16. The depletion rate of Israel's Arrow and David's Sling interceptor stockpiles is accelerating. The development carries major strategic implications: if interceptor reserves are exhausted, Iran's ballistic missiles will face reduced defense coverage over Israeli cities.

Trump says Iran's supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei 'may be dead' — 'I'm hearing he's not alive'

President Trump told NBC News that Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei may be dead. 'I don't know if he's even alive. So far, nobody's been able to show him... I'm hearing he's not alive, and if he is, he should do something very smart for his country, and that's surrender,' Trump said. He added that 'some of them think he's alive but very badly wounded.' The claim follows Defense Secretary Hegseth's statement that the supreme leader was likely 'disfigured' after being wounded. Iran has not shown Mojtaba Khamenei on video since releasing a written statement earlier in the week.

IDF expands Lebanon evacuation zone north to Zahrani River — 25 miles from border, ground invasion imminent

Israel has expanded its Lebanon evacuation zone northward from the Litani River to the Zahrani River — approximately 25 miles from the Israeli border — Sky News reported. The expansion significantly enlarges the territory Israel is asserting operational control over and is widely interpreted as a precursor to a ground invasion. More than 800 people have been killed in Lebanon and hundreds of thousands displaced. The Zahrani River line would encompass the city of Tyre and a much larger portion of south Lebanon's population.

Iran FM Araghchi vows to strike all US-linked energy infrastructure across region after Kharg Island attack

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi vowed retaliation for the US military strike on Kharg Island and stated that Iran's armed forces will strike any energy infrastructure tied to American companies in the region, CNN reported. The threat from the Foreign Minister — Iran's chief diplomat — is more authoritative and geographically broader than the IRGC's earlier 'pile of ash' threat, which focused on Iran's own oil infrastructure. Araghchi's formulation targets US-affiliated energy assets across the entire region: Saudi Aramco (US partnerships), Qatar LNG (ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips), UAE ADNOC (US partners), and Bahrain NGL facilities.
