Strikes on Iranian power plants and infrastructure are among the options being weighed, along with further attacks on nuclear sites to bury the enriched uranium stockpile deeper underground, officials tell Ynet.
A new report found that the Houthis have built a sophisticated crypto financing network, using USDT on the TRON blockchain to move money, evade sanctions, and fund weapons, drones, and military operations.
Funding reportedly comes from Iranian-linked transfers, crypto mining, extortion, and “protection fees” imposed on Red Sea shipping, with funds funneled through rotating wallets and weakly regulated exchanges before being converted into cash. - YNET
YNET REPORT: Trump is reportedly considering additional concessions to secure a deal with Iran today, including the immediate lifting of the naval blockade and restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz.
YNET report: Trump reportedly warned Iran that if it launches an attack that triggers an Israeli response and derails negotiations, Tehran will be held responsible for the consequences.
YNET: The U.S. is urging Tehran to either refrain from responding or keep any response limited in scope to prevent further escalation, while simultaneously pressing Israel not to retaliate if Iran does act.
NOW: Ynet: Israeli officials are debating whether to respond to Iran’s missile attack, with discussions focused on whether to delay any response and, if so, for how long.
Following Iranian missile fire, Israel's Home Front Command issued tightened emergency restrictions across the country. All schools have been shut, public gatherings are limited, and workplaces are only permitted to operate if employees have access to protected spaces.
Israeli defense exports reached a record $19.2 billion in 2025, up 30%, as demand for battle-tested air defense and surveillance systems surged worldwide.
Israeli officials say Iran cannot quickly rebuild its missile arsenal due to heavy damage to launchers and production facilities. While Tehran is working to reopen tunnels hit by Israeli strikes, a senior Israeli official warned Iran may eventually accelerate missile production, potentially forcing Israel to strike again, according to Ynet.
An Israeli official said that given Iran’s current posture, a limited military strike is unlikely to change anything, and President Trump may have no choice but to go “all in” on a prolonged war.

An Israeli official said that given Iran’s current posture, a limited military strike is unlikely to change anything, and President Trump may have no choice but to go “all in” on a prolonged war.
At the same time, President Trump faces scheduling considerations that could influence his decision, most notably the FIFA World Cup, which the U.S. will host beginning on June 11.
“Israel must prepare for a full-scale resumption of the war.”
One possibility is that President Trump opts to restart “Project Freedom” to secure the release of vessels stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, tighten the U.S. blockade on Iran, and wait until the World Cup concludes on July 19, roughly 2 months from now.
Alternatively, President Trump may believe that a sharp and decisive military blow would compel Iran to accept his terms, bringing the war to an end before the tournament begins. - YNET

“Their objective is to humiliate President Trump and demonstrate that they defeated the most powerful country in the world.” YNET
Israel is pushing to hit Iranian energy and infrastructure in any next round of strikes, seeing it as key to regime destabilization. The U.S. fears that could trigger Iranian strikes on Gulf energy sites and spike oil prices.
Israel would also seek U.S. approval to resume Beirut strikes if American operations against Iran restart, as Hezbollah drone attacks escalate. - Ynet
Israeli President Isaac Herzog will no longer travel to New York next week after canceling the trip, with his office citing "circumstances preventing the visit at this time," according to Ynet.

Israeli Navy intelligence reveals how a team of four tracked Iranian warships across the Caspian Sea, enabling an IAF strike that destroyed six vessels, a naval command center, and a maintenance facility.
"I spoke to the pilot above the target. He asked me to confirm. I identified it, gave approval and he launched.
Within minutes, the vessels were destroyed."
The strike hit four missile boats, a frigate carrying torpedoes and a helicopter pad, and a support vessel. Israeli teams had tracked some targets for years.
"The challenge was finding the Iranian warships. We simply scanned the Caspian Sea until we identified them."
