TBN Israel’s Yair Pinto reports on the Israel-Iran and regional war.

IRAN: On day four of “Roar of the Lion,” reports describe a night of explosions across Iran and near-constant Israeli air activity over Tehran, alongside U.S. strikes adding “depth” and heavy munitions. Israeli focus is described on regime command-and-control targets and ballistic missile launch/production arrays—an ongoing “hunt” for launchers in western Iran.

MISSILES & AIR WAR: Reporting describes four main target clusters: concealed storage/launch sites (including cave systems), deep underground “missile cities,” launcher trucks disguised as container vehicles, and dispersed production sites. Israel assesses Iran is struggling to fire at the scale it planned, with an updated Israeli estimate circulating of about 200 launchers still remaining.

ISRAEL HOME FRONT: Overnight, sirens sounded across Israel amid launches from Iran. Reports cite minor damage from falling fragments in central areas and an aircraft-intrusion incident in the north that ended with an interception after a pursuit.

U.S. & LEADERSHIP: U.S. Central Command says American forces struck Revolutionary Guards command-and-control facilities, air defenses, missile/drone launch sites, and military airfields as part of prolonged operations. President Trump publicly assessed the campaign could last 4–5 weeks and said the U.S. could continue longer if needed, adding he does not rule out ground forces. Prime Minister Netanyahu said Israel acted before Iran reached a “point of no return,” and linked weakening Iran to potential regional openings, including with Saudi Arabia.

HORMUZ & REGIONAL ESCALATION: The Revolutionary Guards declared the Strait of Hormuz closed and threatened ships attempting passage, with reports of major vessel delays and rising shipping rates. Additional reporting described drone and strike incidents across the Gulf region, including claims of an oil tanker burning in the strait, alerts in Bahrain, explosions reported in the UAE and Oman, and reports of strikes connected to Iraq and Erbil. Iran also experienced a reported nationwide internet blackout lasting more than 72 hours.
