🕑 January 12, 2026 | 5:00 PM

⛈️ A significant winter weather system is expected to arrive this evening and persist through Tuesday. The primary impact is forecast for southern Israel, with effects extending nationwide.

🟥 From this evening and overnight (Monday): Rain will begin this evening with thunderstorms, initially in northern areas and spreading to central Israel overnight. Winds will strengthen significantly, with extreme gusts along the coastal plain expected to reach up to 110 km/h from tonight through the first half of Tuesday. The Israel Meteorological Service has issued a red warning for extreme winds due to the risk of damage from fallen trees, power poles, and streetlights, creating serious hazards for pedestrians and drivers.

🌊 There is a high risk of flash flooding in streams in the Judean Desert and Dead Sea region, including Arugot, Tze’elim, Rahaf, Shokma, and Lachish. Localized flooding is also possible overnight in the southern coastal plain, the Judea region, the coastal plain, and the northern Negev. Urban flooding is possible in Ashdod, Ashkelon, and Kiryat Gat.

❄️ Snow is expected on Mount Hermon, with cold conditions spreading southward.

🌬️ Tuesday: Stormy conditions will continue with intermittent rain and thunderstorms from northern Israel through the northern Negev. Very strong winds will persist, and cold weather will continue. Snow is expected on Mount Hermon and in the northern Golan Heights. The risk of flash floods remains high in desert areas, with localized flooding possible in hilly regions and the southern coastal plain. Dust may affect parts of southern Israel.

🚓 Emergency preparedness and potential road closures: Police in the Southern District are deploying reinforced forces and coordinating with traffic police, rescue units, Border Police, and volunteers. Planned road closures may be implemented depending on conditions, including Road 90 between Dragaot Junction and the Dead Sea hotels, Road 234 at the Tze’elim Bridge, and Road 232 near the Shokma Stream.

📌 Public safety guidance: Authorities urge the public to avoid flood-prone areas and desert streams, plan travel in advance, follow official weather and police updates, and comply fully with safety instructions as conditions evolve. Conditions are expected to remain hazardous, particularly overnight and through Tuesday morning.

🇮🇱 Solidarity march announced: Israel will hold a solidarity march with Iranian protesters on Tuesday at 7:30 PM local time in Tel Aviv.

🇮🇱 Coalition advances bill affecting corruption charges: The coalition submitted a bill to abolish the offense of fraud and breach of trust.

The proposal is expected to reach the Ministerial Committee for Legislation next week and could lead to the dismissal of the charge against Prime Minister Netanyahu.

▪️ Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas (90) underwent “routine medical examinations” today at a hospital in Ramallah, according to the official Palestinian Authority news agency.

Arab reports said Abbas was taken to the hospital for checks. Palestinian sources described the visit as routine.

A Fatah spokesperson said Abu Mazen has completed his routine checkups, left the hospital, and that the test results were satisfactory.

💥 Strike reported in southern Gaza: Gazan sources report three people were killed in an Israeli UAV strike near Junction 17 in southern Khan Yunis late this morning.

⚠️ ISRAELI HEALTH MINISTRY INSTRUCTS HOSPITALS TO PREPARE FOR RAPID SHIFT TO EMERGENCY OPERATIONS AMID REGIONAL TENSIONS; ISRAEL RAISES ALERT LEVEL AMID IRAN DEVELOPMENTS AS U.S. SIGNALS STRONG OPTIONS AND REGIONAL TENSIONS INTENSIFY

🕑 January 12, 2026 | 6:30 PM

🏨 Hospital readiness reminder issued
Against the backdrop of escalating tensions involving Iran, the Israeli Health Ministry sent hospitals a procedural reminder on how to transition quickly from routine operations to emergency mode. Channel 12 reported the Ministry stressed there is no change in the current situation assessment.

The guidance follows lessons identified during the war and Operation “Am Kalavi,” which highlighted the need for faster and clearer shifts when alert levels change. The instructions are intended to enable immediate action once an official change in alert status is issued, with additional situation-specific directives to follow after a formal assessment by the National Health Operations Center.

The Ministry emphasized the reminder is part of an internal lessons-learned process and does not reflect a change in readiness. The healthcare system remains at Alert Level B, and no additional preparedness actions are required at this stage.

‼️ Israeli security services have raised the alert level and are preparing for multiple contingencies in light of developments involving Iran, including scenarios tied to a potential U.S. attack and corresponding regional responses.

Prime Minister Netanyahu’s government has been instructed not to comment publicly on the possibility of intervention in Iran.

⚠️ US State Department: “President Trump is considering a series of strong options regarding Iran”

🛜 Israeli citizens are receiving SMS messages on their devices, very likely originating from Iran’s cyber cell: "The midnight sky will shine. Comets that are not stars. Meteors that are not meteors and suddenly terrifying sounds..."

❗️ Iran’s Supreme National Security Council chief Ali Larijani was asked about President Trump’s threats and replied: "Trump talks too much, don't take him seriously. The overwhelming presence of Iranians in the streets shows that our people are ready to settle the scores with America and Israel."

🔸 Massive anti-government protests are planned for tonight across Iran.

🔹 President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola stated: "As the brave people of Iran continue to stand up for their rights and their liberty, today I have taken the decision to ban all diplomatic staff and any other representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran from all European Parliament premises."

🔹 Iran has summoned the French, German, Italian, and UK envoys over their countries’ support for the protests, according to the Iranian foreign ministry.

📞 Iran confirms open communication with U.S. envoy: Iran’s Foreign Ministry said there are open channels between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and White House envoy Steve Witkoff.

Outreach followed President Trump’s military threats tied to protests in Iran, Axios reported. "Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reached out to White House envoy Steve Witkoff over the weekend amid President Trump's threats of military force against the regime in support of the recent protests. The outreach seemed to be an effort by Iran to deescalate with the US, or at least buy more time before Trump orders any action to further weaken the regime. Araghchi and Witkoff have discussed potentially holding a meeting in the coming days," – Axios.

According to a source with knowledge of the contacts, Araghchi and Witkoff discussed potentially holding a meeting in the coming days.

🚨 U.S. CONFIRMS ADVANCED MILITARY PLANNING AGAINST IRAN AS REGIONAL FORCES READY, TEHRAN ISSUES WARNINGS, AND ISRAEL ADVANCES A MULTI-YEAR IDF FORCE-BUILDING PROGRAM

🕑 January 12, 2026 | 7:00 PM

🚨 A U.S. official told Al Jazeera: "Our forces in the Middle East are ready for any emergency, any mission, and to defend themselves and our interests. The planning of military options against Iran has reached advanced stages. Military options against Iran are being designed according to circumstances and developments."

⚠️ At 5:30 PM Israel time, a meeting took place between Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who also serves as National Security Advisor. Rubio holds very hardline positions regarding Iran.

❗️ Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqhchi said, “There are those who are trying to drag Washington into war in order to serve Israel's interests.” He added, “We have a large and extensive military preparedness compared to what we had during the last war. If Washington wants to test the military option it has previously tested, we are ready for it.” Iran’s Supreme National Security Council stated, “Our forces have prepared plans to respond to any possible American or Israeli attack.”

🇮🇱 Israel is preparing a new multi-year military buildup anchored in the IDF’s 2026–2030 force-building plan, known as “Choshen,” as outlined in an official Israel Defense Forces article. The plan is based on lessons from October 7 and the ongoing war and is intended to prepare the IDF for future high-intensity, multi-front conflicts.

The plan defines 12 core focus areas, including manpower, war readiness, border defense, air and missile defense, long-range threats with an emphasis on Iran, ground maneuver, intelligence, digital and AI systems, robotics, and space, alongside cross-cutting efforts on efficiency, technological surprise, and organizational culture.

Separately, Israel Hayom reported that ₪350 billion, approximately $95–100 billion USD at current exchange rates, will be allocated to the IDF for preparedness for future wars. The report does not specify a timeframe, but the scale strongly indicates a multi-year program rather than a single-year defense budget.

Taken together, the two reports suggest the ₪350 billion allocation is intended to finance the Choshen multi-year plan, supporting weapons procurement and stockpiling, air force and missile defense expansion, intelligence and cyber upgrades, reserve readiness and training, and domestic defense manufacturing capacity. The exact duration and annual breakdown have not yet been made public.

🛡️ ISRAEL PLACES SECURITY ESTABLISHMENT ON STANDBY AS U.S. WEIGHS IRAN STRIKE OR CONDITIONAL NUCLEAR TALKS, WITH 48-HOUR DECISION WINDOW AND PARALLEL IRGC PRESSURE MEASURES

🕑 January 12, 2026 | 9:45 PM

🚨 Israel on standby ahead of potential U.S. action: Israel believes U.S. President Trump will carry out his threat against Iran, an action that could trigger a new round of fighting, and has moved to standby in anticipation.

♟️ Special security assessment convened in Jerusalem; Ron Dermer, who served as Strategic Affairs Minister during Operation “Rising Lion” and has since retired, was called to attend a special security assessment with Prime Minister Netanyahu and the heads of the IDF and other security services.

⏱️ Decision timeline cited as within 48 hours: A U.S. source told Israel Hayom: "The decision regarding the nature of the response will be made within 48 hours—meaning by Tuesday—following consultations and an assessment of the potential implications of each course of action."

⚠️ Mixed messaging from Washington on intervention: U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said: "There is no indication that the US is preparing for military intervention in Iran". The White House said Trump is not afraid to use military force against Iran but prefers a diplomatic solution, and added: "What the Iranian regime says publicly differs from the messages it sends to us privately".

🔸 Israel concerned over a push for direct U.S.–Iran nuclear talks: Israel is concerned about efforts by U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff to advance direct talks with Iran on the nuclear program. Israel Hayom reported the U.S. would respond to Iran’s offer to negotiate by presenting several preconditions:

- An end to the suppression of protests.
- Release of all detainees and protestors.
- The handover of all enriched uranium.
- The complete halting of uranium enrichment in Iran.
- Cessation of Iran's long-range ballistic missile program.
- Ending Iran's support for proxy groups in the region.

Further U.S. and Israeli moves tied to the IRGC: The White House is considering an Iranian offer to restart nuclear talks even as President Trump leans toward authorizing new military strikes, with Vice President JD Vance and some senior aides urging diplomacy first amid mass protests in Iran. Separately, the U.S. government blocked the international server of the website “Tasnim,” identified with the Revolutionary Guards, and Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar instructed ambassadors in European countries to promote recognition of the IRGC as a 'terrorist organization'.

🛡️ Municipal clarification on shelters: Tel Aviv Municipality said rumors about opening shelters in the city are false.

🛡️ ISRAEL MAINTAINS DEFENSIVE ALERT AMID IRAN RUMORS AS PROTESTS CONTINUE, WASHINGTON COORDINATES WITH JERUSALEM, AND U.S. NAVY ISR OPERATES NEAR HORMUZ

🕑 January 12, 2026 | 10:00 PM

📣 IDF issues a public clarification amid Iran-related rumors: IDF Spokesperson: “In recent days, many rumors have circulated in light of the situation in Iran. As previously clarified, the IDF is prepared on the defensive front and remains on alert for surprise scenarios, should they be required. The protests in Iran are an internal matter. We continue to conduct ongoing situation assessments and will provide updates if and when there are any changes. I emphasize: do not give credence to rumors.”

Israel assesses Iran is trying to suppress the unrest in the near term: Israel estimates Iran is attempting to suppress the protests within the next 24 to 48 hours, meaning that even if U.S. President Trump chooses to help the protesters, there may be no one left to assist.

📹 Footage from inside Iran is circulating despite reported restrictions: Video from this evening shows demonstrations in Karaj, west of Tehran, described as rare documentation that emerged despite an internet shutdown.

🤝 Israeli officials describe close coordination with Washington on Iran: Officials told Channel 12 Israel will know in advance what President Trump decides, and said Israel conveyed to Washington that Iran is seeking to resume negotiations to buy time and prevent an American strike.

🗣️ Iran issues a warning about retaliation and third-party involvement: Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh said: “We will attack the enemy's interests anywhere in the event of any aggression against our national interests. Any country that facilitates an attack on us or provides bases to the enemy to carry out such an attack will be considered a legitimate target”.

🏛️ Diplomatic posture is also shifting: Non-essential diplomatic personnel from the French Embassy in Tehran have left Iran.

🛰️ OSINT flight-tracking points to routine U.S. maritime surveillance activity in a sensitive corridor: Open-source reporting indicates a U.S. Navy P-8A Poseidon (AE684B) conducted an ISR mission over the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz on January 12, 2026, operating in international airspace consistent with established maritime surveillance patterns. The P-8A is used to monitor surface vessels and submarines, collect radar and electronic intelligence, and provide real-time situational awareness; in this region, such missions commonly support shipping security, freedom of navigation, and early warning. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global chokepoint through which roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply transits, making persistent ISR coverage a routine element of U.S. naval posture; the observed flight aligns with regular U.S. 5th Fleet operations, notable for timing and visibility but not unusual in scope or purpose.

🛡️ TRUMP WEIGHS MILITARY STRIKE ON IRAN AMID NUCLEAR TALKS AND INTERNET BLACKOUT AS IDF ELIMINATES TERROR OPERATIVES IN GAZA AND ISRAEL SIGNALS INTERNAL SECURITY AND GOVERNANCE RED LINES

🕑 January 12, 2026 | 11:00 PM

♟️ A White House official told The Wall Street Journal that President Trump is inclined to order a strike on Iran, despite Tehran’s outreach to conduct negotiations over its nuclear program.

🛜 Iran's near-total internet shutdown has surpassed 100 hours, with nationwide connectivity falling to about 1% of normal as authorities block public access while keeping some state networks online.

🎯 Southern Gaza Strip: Earlier today, IDF troops operating in the southern Gaza Strip identified four armed terrorists near the Yellow Line who approached the forces and posed an immediate threat. Following the identification, the IAF eliminated three terrorists and neutralized an additional terrorist to remove the threat. During searches conducted afterward, weapons and military equipment intended to gather intelligence on IDF troop activity in the area were located on the terrorists.

⚖️ Knesset Legislation: The Knesset approved in a first reading a bill to remove the Police Internal Investigations Department from the State Attorney’s Office. Justice Minister Levin stated: “The current situation is fundamentally flawed and creates an inherent conflict of interest. The bill will ensure equality of all before the law.”

🇮🇱 Political Statements: Gantz: "Whoever on October 7 saw women being raped, people being kidnapped, babies being murdered, and was afraid of bleeding seats in parliament while our brothers were bleeding in the south — should not preach to me about how to behave as a leader. They want to win the civil war, and I want to prevent it."

Benny Gantz: "I intend to do everything I can to prevent Netanyahu from reaching 61, but if the people decide that’s what happens, I will go to my friends in the opposition and tell them we must not repeat the mistake of the previous elections, and I will call on them to join me and isolate the extremists. I will not allow Itamar Ben Gvir to be the defense minister of our children."

Gantz: "I do not intend to sit in a government with those who only yesterday shouted ‘Gaza will win.’ After October 7, that is not possible. We cannot make fateful decisions about Israel’s security this way. The Arab parties cannot be the ones to decide whether we go to war or not."

🛡️ IRAN DEPLOYS MILITARY-GRADE FORCE AGAINST CIVILIANS AS PROTESTS SPREAD; U.S. AND EUROPE URGE EVACUATION, PREPARE SANCTIONS AND MILITARY OPTIONS, TRUMP IMPOSES IRAN-TRADE TARIFFS, AND TEHRAN ENFORCES INTERNET SHUTDOWNS AND TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS

🩸 There is confirmation that the regime is using military-grade weapons against unarmed civilians. Unconfirmed reports indicate the death toll could be as high as 7,000, a figure echoed by the limited number of contacts reachable inside Iran.

♟️The Iranian crown prince said he has received intelligence reports from inside Iran indicating that the Iranian regime is actively making plans to leave the country, according to CBS News. He also claimed the regime is “in for a massive surprise,” citing what he described as ongoing movement that has either gone unnoticed or has been successfully concealed.

📉 New U.S. trade penalties: President Trump announced an additional 25% tariff on any country that trades with Iran and then seeks to do business with the United States. He stated: “Effective immediately, any Country doing business with the Islamic Republic of Iran will pay a Tariff of 25% on any and all business being done with the United States of America. This Order is final and conclusive.”

🤝 European coordination on sanctions: After his meeting in Washington with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Germany’s Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul called on European countries to formulate a unified position on sanctions against Iran. He said broad European coordination is required in light of the challenges posed by Tehran.

🧠 U.S. military and cyber options: Reports indicate the Pentagon has presented President Trump with options for expanded military and cyber actions against Iran.

⚠️ Reports of Starlink crackdown: Iran is reportedly hunting down Starlink users and confiscating terminals. The regime is also continuing to actively jam Starlink signals.

🧳 U.S. travel advisory and diplomatic departures: The U.S. State Department is urging American citizens still in Iran to depart immediately by any available means, preferably overland via Armenia or Turkey. Non-essential U.S. diplomatic staff and their families have departed Iran amid escalating regional tensions, according to AFP, and multiple other countries are expected to issue similar departure advisories.

Evacuation advisory from Sweden
Sweden’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued an advisory urging Swedish citizens still in Iran to leave immediately by any possible means.

⚠️ Nationwide protests and security measures: Protests across Iran are intensifying nationwide and may turn violent, with reports of arrests and injuries. Authorities have increased security measures, imposed road closures, disrupted public transportation, and restricted access to mobile, landline, and national internet networks. Airlines continue to limit or cancel flights to and from Iran, with several suspending service until Friday, January 16.

U.S. citizens should expect continued communication outages and plan alternative ways to stay in contact. If it is safe to do so, they are advised to consider departing Iran by land via Armenia or Türkiye. U.S.–Iranian dual nationals must exit Iran using Iranian passports, as Iran does not recognize dual nationality and treats dual nationals solely as Iranian citizens. U.S. nationals face a significant risk of questioning, arrest, or detention, and presenting a U.S. passport or demonstrating ties to the United States may be sufficient grounds for detention by Iranian authorities.

Those unable to depart should remain in secure locations, maintain adequate supplies of food, water, medications, and essential items, and avoid demonstrations. Travelers are advised to keep a low profile, monitor local media for developments, keep phones charged, remain in contact with family and friends, and enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) for updates. The U.S. government cannot guarantee safety for those choosing to depart and urges individuals to leave only if they believe it is safe to do so.

‼️ IRAN REMAINS UNDER INTERNET BLACKOUT AS PROTEST DEATHS MOUNT, HOSPITALS ARE SEIZED BY SECURITY FORCES, THE U.S. WEIGHS MILITARY AND CYBER OPTIONS

🕑 January 13, 2026 | 11:30 AM

♟️ Israeli intelligence assessment: Israeli intelligence assesses that the Iranian regime has lost momentum in maintaining control. Officials believe that once internet access is restored, protests will intensify further. Iran was expected to restore internet access yesterday, according to the foreign minister, but as of now the country remains offline. Israeli intelligence also believes President Trump will follow through on his commitments, and Israel is preparing for all scenarios.

🚨 Claims of mass casualties and hospital seizures: The opposition outlet Iran International reports that at least 12,000 people have been killed in what it describes as a massacre by regime forces. Security forces have reportedly taken control of hospitals across Tehran and are searching for wounded protesters.

According to these claims, people arriving with fresh gunshot wounds are abducted immediately and denied medical treatment. Reports also allege that armed forces raided Sina Hospital, abducting injured protesters, including some being wheeled out of surgery, and that similar actions are occurring at other hospitals.

Footage circulating online shows protesters being shot with live ammunition, and additional video is described as showing the aftermath of the killings, including victims shot in the head. Women and children are reported among the dead.

Iran’s state television has issued public calls for blood donations, a step not taken since the Iran-Iraq War.

🧭 U.S. deliberations and potential strike framework: U.S. officials told The New York Times: "Trump is considering diplomatic options while also exploring the possibility of launching an attack on Iran. Any U.S. strike would not aim to directly overthrow the Iranian government but would aim to send a message to the Iranian Supreme Leader about the killing of protesters." The Pentagon has presented a broader set of military options than previously reported, including options targeting nuclear sites and ballistic missile targets. The most likely options cited are cyberattacks and strikes against Iran’s internal security apparatus. Trump is considering diplomatic options, but some American officials believe Iran is mainly trying to buy time rather than engage in serious talks.

🎯 Outlined target categories under consideration: Reporting describes five categories of potential targets: military targets related to Iran’s ballistic missile and nuclear programs, including underground “missile cities”; the Basij, described as responsible for paramilitary support, internal security, law enforcement, moral policing, and violent suppression of protests; government facilities such as parliament, state broadcasting headquarters, and the presidential palace; critical infrastructure including oil refineries, oil depots, airports, and seaports; and targeted elimination of regime leadership, including senior IRGC commanders and senior political and religious figures. The reporting also frames different target combinations as reflecting different U.S. objectives, ranging from pressuring the regime while keeping it intact to broader action intended to topple or incapacitate it.

🗣️ Iranian opposition response: Reza Pahlavi, the son of Iran’s last Shah, said: "If the people did not actually believe that I can be the person doing that for them or the person to be trusted, they wouldn't be in the millions on the streets of Iran, in the four corners of Iran, chanting my name and asking for my return. That should be indicative of the reality on the ground".

⚠️ ARMED SUSPECTS IMPERSONATING IDF ROB SHOPS NEAR HEBRON AS CABINET MEETS IN JERUSALEM, IRAN PHONE SERVICE RETURNS, AND AUSTRALIA MOVES ANTISEMITISM BILL

🕑 January 13, 2026 | 12:30 PM

🔪 Security forces were dispatched to the Ad-Dhahiriya area after reports of armed suspects impersonating IDF soldiers while robbing a jewelry store and other shops in the Hebron area. A pursuit is underway.

The IDF stressed that the suspects were not IDF soldiers. Security forces have launched a manhunt and they were caught a short time later.

🇮🇱 Israel’s Political-Security Cabinet will convene tonight at 7:00 PM in Jerusalem.

🗣️ The Lebanese Foreign Minister said: "Israel has the right to continue its attacks as long as Hezbollah is not fully disarmed."

📡 The AP news agency reports that Iran’s cellular network is returning to operation for calls, while the internet network remains disconnected.

⚖️ Australia’s Labor Party is expected to introduce the “Combating Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill” in Parliament by the end of the month. The bill aims to impose severe penalties for hate speech following the Bondi terror attack and is largely expected to pass.

Per The Guardian, it would be illegal to publicly promote or incite hatred, or disseminate ideas of superiority or hatred toward a person or group based on race, color, or national or ethnic origin. The bill also includes visa cancellations for serious offences, increased penalties for hate crimes, a new racial vilification offence, a new listing for prohibited hate groups at a lower threshold than a terror group listing, and provisions for the largest gun buyback program since the Port Arthur massacre.

Some opposition MPs and public figures have criticized the bill as a “threat to legitimate dissent.”

🌏 International declarations of illegitimacy: Australia’s foreign minister said the current Iranian government is no longer legitimate, with Prime Minister Albanese saying Australia will support a "democratic Iran." The statement describes Australia as the second UN member state after Israel to claim the Islamic Republic is illegitimate.

🇩🇪 Germany signals sanctions and says the regime is nearing collapse: German officials said Iran’s ruling authorities no longer command public backing and have “lost all legitimacy,” adding that all available measures, including sanctions, would be used. Chancellor Merz said: "If a regime can only hold on to power by force, then it is effectively at its end. The Iranian regime has no legitimacy. I assume that we are now seeing the very last days and weeks of this regime".

⚠️ ISRAEL HOLDS CABINET MEETING AMID IRAN PROTEST DEATH REPORTS, REGIONAL WARNINGS, AND MULTIPLE SECURITY INCIDENTS

🕑 January 13, 2026 | 4:30 PM

🏛️ Israel’s cabinet is set to convene this evening after graphic footage emerged that is purported to show mass killings during Iran’s ongoing crackdown, as additional disturbing images continue to surface.

🩸 Conflicting casualty figures are being reported from Iran’s protests. The UN human rights office says “hundreds” have been killed but cannot provide a precise number, while an Iranian official told Reuters that about 2,000 people, including security personnel, have been killed. A senior Trump administration official said, “What is happening in Iran is a silent Holocaust. We must intervene.”

Human rights groups say that families have been notified that multiple Iranian protesters are scheduled to be executed tomorrow.

⚠️ Qatar has warned of “catastrophic results” amid Iran–U.S. escalation. Qatari officials say they are working with neighboring countries to calm rising regional tensions.

🚫 Reports claiming U.S. bombers were spotted outside the continental United States are false. No such deployments have been confirmed.

🕵️ Iran’s IRGC Intelligence Organization claims it arrested a cell allegedly directed by Israel. The group was accused of planning assassinations and infrastructure sabotage, receiving specialized training abroad, and possessing U.S.-made weapons and explosives. Iranian authorities say the suspects entered Zahedan in Sistan and Baluchestan Province from Pakistan.

🌏 China responded to new U.S. tariffs linked to Iran. Beijing said it will “safeguard its legitimate rights and interests” after President Trump announced a 25 percent tariff on countries doing business with Iran.

🚔 IDF forces apprehended suspects following an armed robbery in Judea and Samaria. After reports of suspects impersonating IDF soldiers and robbing shops in the Ad-Dhahiriya area, IDF soldiers, Israel Border Police, and Israel Police arrested three individuals, including a Palestinian and two Israeli civilians. Multiple weapons were confiscated, the suspects were transferred for investigation, and the pursuit has concluded.

🌧️ Flooding was reported at an IDF base in central Israel due to weather conditions. According to the IDF Spokesperson, base teams are addressing the incident and containing the flooding while maintaining normal operations, with no impact on operational readiness.

🇺🇳 UNIFIL reported tank fire near a Spanish patrol in southern Lebanon. They said three shells fired by IDF Merkava tanks landed approximately 150 to 380 meters from the patrol, causing no injuries but forcing the unit to withdraw after reporting laser tracking.

🏷️ The United States has designated Muslim Brotherhood branches in Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon as terrorist organizations.

🇮🇱 ISRAELI PREPAREDNESS: The Israeli Cabinet convened to discuss further steps regarding Iran. The IDF raised its alert level and placed units on standby for any eventuality. Israelis report the movement and deployment of air defense systems across the country.

⚠️ IRANIAN MILITARY WARNINGS: Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Army: “The threat posed by the Zionist regime against Iran is real and ‘existential’; therefore, we are taking it seriously and preparing accordingly.” Iran’s Defense Minister said any U.S. aggression will be met with an immediate response.

✈️ REGIONAL AIRSPACE DISRUPTIONS: Airspace between Baghdad and Iran has been closed following a circular issued to the aviation authority ordering a temporary suspension of all flights, according to Kurdistan24. Unidentified jets were also reported over central Iraq.

🔴 IRAN PROTEST DEATH TOLL REPORTING: CBS News reports the death toll in Iran could be well over 20,000, citing two sources from Iran. Nationwide anti-government protests in Iran have resulted in a suspected death toll of more than 12,000 people, according to sources inside the country and opposition-linked reports, with some estimates warning the true number could be higher. Independent verification has been obstructed by extensive internet shutdowns, communications blackouts, and strict state media controls.

Iranian authorities have released significantly lower official figures and attribute the violence to foreign-backed unrest, without providing transparent casualty data. CBS News reviewed and verified video footage from a morgue near Tehran showing hundreds of bodies, at least 366 and possibly over 400, awaiting identification. Many of the deceased appear to have gunshot wounds, pellet injuries, and blunt-force trauma, indicating the use of lethal force.

The protests began over economic hardship and inflation, then expanded into nationwide demonstrations across all 31 provinces with calls for political change. Security forces reportedly responded with mass arrests and heavy suppression, including live fire. International observers warn that even conservative estimates would place this crackdown among the deadliest protest suppressions in Iran’s modern history, with the full scale likely to remain unclear until information restrictions are lifted. According to officials, protesters have been charged with “waging war against God.”

🇺🇸 WHITE HOUSE DEVELOPMENTS AND DEPARTURE CALLS: Trump said nobody has been able to give him an accurate number of the deaths in Iran and said: “We’ll get a clear picture within the next 24 hours.” He is being briefed regarding Iran inside the Oval Office, with the Vice President, the Secretary of War, and the Secretary of State also inside the room. According to reporters outside the White House, Trump could be seen pacing in the Oval Office while advisors stood and briefed him. Trump has now asked U.S. allies to leave Iran now.

🌍 FOREIGN MINISTRY ADVISORIES: Canada’s foreign ministry issued an advisory asking its citizens to leave Iran immediately, preferably through Armenia and Turkey. Germany, China, and Taiwan urged their citizens to leave Iran immediately. France also called on its citizens to leave Iran immediately.

⚠️ GULF STATE PRESSURE ON U.S. STRIKE DECISION: The Gulf states, led by Saudi Arabia, are pressuring the Trump administration against launching a strike on Iran, according to the Wall Street Journal. This follows U.S. warnings to Gulf partners to be prepared for such an attack.

💩 IRAQ FLIGHTS REPORT AND DENIAL: A report claimed Iraq canceled all flights between Iran and Iraq for an indefinite period of time. The Iraqi Ministry of Transport denied the report.

⚠️ U.S. SIGNALS POSSIBLE ACTION AGAINST IRAN AS BASE EVACUATIONS, TARGET OPTIONS, AND WARNINGS TO AMERICANS INTENSIFY

🕑 January 14, 2026 | 12:00 PM

✈️ U.S. military posture and planning: Non-essential personnel at Al-Udeid Air Base have been instructed to leave the base by Wednesday night, according to Reuters. The Pentagon is presenting President Trump with a broader range of options for striking Iran than previously reported, including potential targets linked to Iran’s nuclear program beyond the June strikes.

🧩 Range of options under review: A U.S. official said less severe measures are viewed as more likely, including cyber attacks or strikes on the security apparatus suppressing protesters. The official said the attack is not expected to occur for several days and warned Iran could respond forcefully, with President Trump expected to receive a briefing on the options today.

🎙️ Public warnings and presidential statements: When asked about “help on the way to Iran,” President Trump said: “You are going to find out.” He also said: “It is a good idea for Americans to leave Iran.” After a reporter noted Iran has said it will retaliate, President Trump responded: “Iran said that the last time I blew them up, they better behave.”

🕵️‍♂️ Diplomatic and intelligence activity: U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in recent closed-door meetings that the administration is considering “non-kinetic ways to support protesters” in Iran. Two European officials told The Washington Post that the Trump administration has approached their countries requesting intelligence sharing on potential targets in Iran.

🧭 Israeli and European assessments: An Israeli official told Reuters: “Our assessment is that Trump has made a decision to intervene in Iran, but the scope and timing of his action remain unclear.” One European official said there is no indication President Trump is about to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities and assessed it is more likely he would choose targets linked to leadership and forces responsible for the killing of protesters.

📉 Situation inside Iran: The assessment in Israel is that the scale of protests in Iran has decreased, and with it the likelihood of the government collapsing soon has also decreased. According to this assessment, it appears the situation has returned to some kind of control.

🧱 Caution urged by regional sources: Israeli and Arab sources told the Trump administration that the Iranian government has not yet weakened to the point that U.S. military strikes would be decisive enough to topple it. The sources suggested President Trump avoid large-scale attacks for now, with some preferring to wait until the government is in an even more precarious situation.

🧨 Additional warnings and stated goals: President Trump told CBS: “We will take very strong measures if Iran executes protesters by hanging them.” He also told CBS: “There is a lot of aid on its way to Iranian citizens in various forms. Our ultimate goal in Iran is victory.”
