Netanyahu: War with Iran continues, uranium removal
Iran rejects US proposal, demands sanctions lifted
Drones strike ship in Hormuz; crew saved

The time is now 8:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told CBS News' 60 Minutes that the war with Iran is not over. He said there remains enriched uranium to remove, enrichment sites to dismantle, proxies Iran supports, and ballistic missiles they want to produce; he added, "You go in, and you take it out." He suggested that if there is an agreement, the action would involve removing the material. The report also notes that on Sunday, US President Donald Trump said Washington has Iran's enriched uranium surveilled and is prepared to take action if it receives intelligence that action is being taken at the site, adding that the United States would attain it at some point and that the Space Force has the site.

In Iranian Retaliation, President Trump called the latest Iranian proposal to end the war "totally unacceptable" in a Truth Social post, while Tasnim News Agency reported that Iran’s Representatives submitted a plan to end the conflict with demands to lift sanctions and focus on the Iranian people. The proposal reportedly called for ending the war on all fronts and for lifting sanctions on Tehran, including measures affecting oil sales, within a 30-day window and a discussion of uranium-related issues, alongside steps toward gradually reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB said Tehran has rejected the latest US proposal, describing it as a surrender deal, and that Iran is demanding war reparations, the lifting of all sanctions, the unfreezing of Iranian assets abroad, and continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz. A separate Tasnim report noted that the negotiation team is working on a proposal that would focus on the people of Iran, with officials signaling that any compromise would be closely watched by Tehran.

In US Military Role, US Central Command published photos showing Marines from the embarked 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit conducting helicopter insertion training from a US Navy MH-60S Seahawk onto the USS Tripoli on May 8th, underscoring ongoing US military readiness in the region.

In Regional Impacts, two explosions in one minute were recorded as Iranian drones struck the South Korean cargo ship HMM Namu in the Strait of Hormuz, sparking a major fire and tearing a 23-foot-deep hole in the vessel’s stern; all 24 crew members survived. The UK and France will host a multinational meeting of defence ministers to discuss plans to restore trade flows through the Strait of Hormuz, with more than 40 nations expected to participate. British Defence Secretary John Healey will co-chair the meeting with French Minister Catherine Vautrin, as planners translate diplomatic agreements into practical military steps to protect navigation in the waterway. France has dispatched the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, and the UK has said it will send the destroyer HMS Dragon, while both nations discuss a broader multinational mission to secure shipping in the Hormuz.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Hezbollah released footage of one of its FPV drones striking an Iron Dome battery on the northern border. The IDF has not issued a public comment, but unofficial sources have not disputed the video’s authenticity. The incident highlights the challenge posed by FPV drones, which use cables and manual operation to outwit jamming and tracking systems. The IDF has outlined new pilot programs to better identify and shoot down FPV drones, though officials say the military is still catching up to the threat. The footage appears to reflect events from several days ago.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, Trump’s visit to China will focus on the Iran issue, with US officials saying he will press Beijing to apply additional pressure on Tehran as part of efforts to reach a new agreement. The discussions in Beijing are expected to center on Iran, Russia, and China’s economic and technological ties with those regimes, alongside broader topics such as trade, artificial intelligence, Taiwan, and geopolitical tensions. Officials say the Iran issue will be a central topic at the Xi Jinping meeting, with Washington seeking Chinese cooperation to curb Tehran’s activity and influence.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Abraham Foxman, former ADL national director and Holocaust survivor, has died at 86. Foxman led the Anti-Defamation League for 27 years after surviving the Holocaust as a hidden Jewish child in Poland and became one of the world’s most influential voices against antisemitism and hate. Separately, New York City anti-Israel activists plan a Monday protest against an Israeli real estate event in Flatbush, following a protest at the Park East Synagogue earlier in the week. PAL-Awda NY/NJ said the event promotes settlements and advertised a stance seen by some as discriminatory, with organizers noting the event’s restricted attendance and framing around housing in “Anglo neighborhoods” on land they say was stolen.
