A senior Iranian diplomat has revealed that Iran’s military and political leadership are willing to abandon uranium enrichment in order to preserve the regime, amid growing fears that the ongoing war with Israel could spell the end of the ayatollah’s regime. Speaking to IranWire on condition of anonymity, the diplomat—who previously served in the Islamic Republic’s intelligence services—said bluntly: “The real priority of the Supreme Leader and our government is survival.

Israel responded to the deadly Iranian missile attack on Israeli civilians on Monday morning by announcing that the war is moving to a new phase. According to a Yisrael Hayom report, the IDF is expected to soon announce an evacuation order for residents of neighborhoods in Tehran ahead of extensive airstrikes by the Air Force that will lead to the collapse of buildings—similar to what was done in the past in Beirut, Lebanon. The goal is to stop Iranian attacks on Israeli population centers. Israel sees this as a real threat and is directing its response deep into civilian areas in Tehran—as part of moving the war to the enemy’s territory itself.

IDF spokesperson Effie Defrin gave a brief update to the media on Monday following the heavy barrage early in the morning that left eight people dead and hundreds injured. “We are succeeding in thwarting large parts of the Iranian fire,” Defrin said. “Tonight, 65 missiles and dozens of drones were fired—most of them were intercepted by our defense systems.” Nonetheless, he acknowledged the night’s tragic toll. “This is the face of the Iranian terror regime,” Defrin said.

Immigration and Absorption Minister Ofir Sofer (Religious Zionist party) was in Azerbaijan when Israel launched the war on Iran. He returned to Israel overnight Sunday after a tense journey home, under heavy security and great concern for his life. Although Israel maintains warm ties with Azerbaijan, which shares a border with Iran, Israeli security officials were greatly concerned that Iran would take advantage of his presence in a neighboring country and try to kill him in retaliation for the assassinations of its senior commanders. Iran has carried out a series of attacks in Baku in the past, including against Israeli ambassadors in the country, which made the presence of an Israeli minister in the country particularly dangerous.

Amid the death and destruction perpetrated on Israel by the Islamic Republic early Monday morning, images of babies, including newborns, being rescued from buildings hit by missiles, were particularly heartrending. B’Chasdei Hashem, none of the babies were seriously injured. In Tel Aviv, a four-day-old infant was rescued from a building adjacent to one that suffered a direct missile hit. MDA paramedic Dr. Gal Rosen described the scene: “When we arrived at the impact site, we saw extensive destruction from the missile hit near buildings on the street, and there was a fire. Some residents exited the buildings on their own; others were rescued with the help of firefighters.

A suspected drone launched toward Israel from the east, which triggered sirens across northern Israel earlier, was intercepted and shot down by the Israeli Air Force a short time ago, the IDF reports.

The IDF’s Home Front Command launched an investigation into the impact of an Iranian ballistic missile on a residential building in Petach Tikva early Monday morning, in which four people were killed, including two who were inside their reinforced room (“mamad”) at the time of the strike. Initial findings revealed that the missile hit directly the wall between two reinforced rooms, and the wall was unable to withstand such a direct hit from a missile with a particularly heavy explosive payload, Army Radio reported on Monday morning. Two of the people killed were inside one of the reinforced rooms that sustained a direct hit.
