President Donald Trump said overnight that the United States may carry out further strikes against Iran, specifically identifying the underground nuclear facility known as Pickaxe Mountain as a potential target. In an interview with Newsmax, Trump said, "We may have to go there," adding that American forces could destroy the facility quickly. He ruled out using nuclear weapons against Iran and said he does not envision deploying American ground troops. His remarks follow CNN reporting that the Pentagon has developed new strike options, including the possible use of the GBU-43/B, known as the "Mother of All Bombs," against Iranian nuclear and energy infrastructure. Trump did not confirm whether the weapon would be used. CNN noted that the bomb is designed primarily for surface targets and may not be effective against deeply buried nuclear facilities. Meanwhile, Channel 12 reported that Israeli security officials believe any renewed military campaign against Iran should be comprehensive, targeting missile facilities, nuclear sites, energy installations, and other infrastructure. Western intelligence agencies have detected unusual military activity inside Iran, raising concerns that Tehran could take further escalatory action. However, Israeli and American officials told Channel 12 that the latest intelligence does not currently require an immediate military response. No confirmed Iranian decision to launch a preemptive attack has been established.

What was initially suspected to be a possible car-ramming attack near the West Bank settlement of Ateret is now believed to have been a hit-and-run incident, according to Israeli security officials. The revised assessment follows an incident in which an Israeli civilian was lightly injured after being struck by a vehicle. The driver fled, prompting the IDF and police to launch a search operation and establish roadblocks in the surrounding area.
Israeli forces are searching for a driver who reportedly fled the scene of a suspected car-ramming incident near Ateret in the West Bank. At least one person has reportedly been injured. The IDF says troops have been…

Israeli security officials are increasingly concerned that Iran may be preparing a preemptive attack, after Western intelligence detected what is being described as "extreme military movements" inside Iran. The concerns come as Israeli security officials assess that Iran has rebuilt its ballistic missile launcher stockpile to roughly the level it held before Operation Roaring Lion began in February. The assessment suggests Iran has managed to replenish much of its launcher inventory despite extensive Israeli and American strikes during the February-April conflict. It remains unclear how many launchers are currently operational or whether Iran has repaired damaged systems or manufactured replacements. Amid the heightened tensions, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke tonight with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The State Department provided no details about the discussion, issuing an unusually brief, one-sentence readout: "Secretary Rubio spoke today with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu." However, a security official with knowledge of the conversation stated military action remains a realistic possibility: "If Tehran does not come to its senses, action is a realistic scenario."
