| Top Iranian official: Even if deal with Oman reached, we won’t open Hormuz until US gives in to all our demands |
 |
|
Iran will not open the Strait of Hormuz until the US gives in to its terms, says the head of Iran’s National Security Council. The US must end the war — including in Gaza and Lebanon — release frozen Iranian assets, and meet the rest of Iran’s conditions, says Mohsen Rezaei, according to the semi-official Tasnim outlet. A potential agreement on the strait between Iran and Oman will not guarantee the opening of the strait, he says. |

| Shocking: Bochur Summoned as Witness — Then Arrested Outside Police Station |
|
A yeshiva student from Bnei Brak was arrested by military police after being summoned to give evidence at a police facility, sparking anger within the community over the circumstances of his detention. According to the report, the bochur was questioned at the Lahav 433 police unit and was told afterward that he was free to leave. However, when he entered the station parking lot, military police officers were waiting and arrested him over his status as a military draft absentee. Community representatives say the incident appears to circumvent police guidelines intended to ensure that yeshiva students can approach police stations for civilian services, file complaints, or provide testimony without fearing arrest. The incident has raised concerns that yeshiva students may now hesitate to cooperate with police, even when assistance is urgently needed. Community activists said they intend to raise the matter with the relevant authorities and demand safeguards against similar incidents. |

| Israeli intel on Iranian assassination plot spurred decision to sneak Trump off Air Force One |
 |
|
Israel told the United States about the Iranian assassination threat that caused the US Secret Service to take President Donald Trump off Air Force One and transfer him in a catering truck to a military plane as he prepared to fly out of Turkey last month, The Wall Street Journal reports, citing an unnamed US official. Israeli intelligence indicated that Iran had been plotting to use shoulder-to-air missiles to take down Trump’s plane, according to the report. Senior Trump aides, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, remained on the plane despite the threat, says the official. Last month, the WSJ reported that Israeli intelligence had indicated a new plot was in development to assassinate the US president, but did not provide details. Two US officials told Channel 12 news at the time that the information related to general dialogue between Iranian officials on potentially assassinating the US president, rather than a specific plot. |

| Court orders release of settler accused of attack on Palestinians after 38 days in custody |
 |
|
The Jerusalem District Court orders the immediate release without restrictive conditions of Tal Yinon Dardik, a suspect in an attack on Palestinians in March, who has been in custody for 38 days over administrative orders against him. However, Dardik will still be bound by IDF Central Command chief Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth’s measures barring him from entering any areas of the West Bank except for the community of Modiin Illit, and requiring him to report to the local police station twice a day. On Sunday, the court rejected Bluth’s attempt to stop Dardik from serving house arrest in his illegal outpost in the West Bank. Amid Bluth’s attempts to restrict Dardik’s movements due to his alleged participation in a violent attack on Palestinians earlier this year, Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered officials not to renew his detention, and called on the IDF to find an alternative solution. Katz then vowed to replace Bluth, sparking widespread outcry and leading the defense minister to attempt to backtrack from his remarks. |

| Ex-Mossad chief says ‘we toured’ Iran’s Fordo nuclear site ‘many times’ |
 |
|
Former Mossad director Yossi Cohen speaks of having toured Iran’s Fordo uranium enrichment facility several times in the past. “We toured the Fordo nuclear site many times in order to understand the site,” he is quoted by Hebrew media outlets as saying at the Galilee Forum in Safed, without saying when the visits were or who exactly toured the site. “Its bombing by the Americans was the fulfillment of all my dreams,” he adds. The site, along with the Isfahan and Natanz facilities, was severely damaged by US strikes during the 12-day war between Israel and Iran in June 2025. Reports have said the 440 kilograms of highly enriched uranium stored in the facilities was buried, but Israel believes that Iran transferred some of it to the Pickaxe Mountain site after that war. Cohen also states “that 60% enriched uranium is still far from a bomb,” appearing to contradict experts such as David Albright, who say 60% enriched uranium can potentially be further enriched to weapons grade in a matter of weeks or even days. Cohen has spoken publicly about Mossad activity against Iran in the past. Days after stepping down as Mossad chief in 2021, he gave an extraordinary interview on Israeli television in which he provided details of such activity. He intimated that his agency blew up Iran’s underground centrifuge facility at Natanz, gave a precise description of the 2018 operation in which the Mossad stole Iran’s nuclear archive from safes in a Tehran warehouse, confirmed that Iran’s assassinated top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh had been in Mossad’s sights for years, and said the regime needs to understand that Israel means what it says when it vows to prevent Iran attaining nuclear weapons. Speaking on Ilana Dayan’s “Uvda” (Fact) documentary show on Channel 12, Cohen indicated that he was deeply familiar with Iran’s various nuclear sites, and said that, if given the opportunity, he would take Dayan to the underground “cellar” at Natanz, where, he said, “the centrifuges used to spin.” |
