US weighs UNGA ban on Iran

Beit Shemesh toddler burned by hot water

The time is now 5:06 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

Good evening. Here is your hourly update on the region’s security and diplomacy. The United States is weighing a move to bar delegations from Iran, Sudan, Zimbabwe and Brazil from attending this fall’s United Nations General Assembly, a step intended to signal disapproval of policies viewed as destabilizing to regional security. Israel views any effort to constrain Iran’s diplomatic footprint on the world stage as supportive of its own security concerns and its allies in the region.

In Baghdad, new reporting from Al-Sharq indicates Iraq rejected Iran’s request to establish facilities at the Syria–Iraq border that would move large sums of cash to Hezbollah through Syria. Iraqi Shiite political leaders told the outlet that Iran is preparing for a possible new conflict with Israel and directing its proxy forces in Iraq to seek new means of sustaining Hezbollah’s activity.

Meanwhile, in Beit Shemesh a two-year-old boy was burned by hot water at home. Medics treated him on site and transported him to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem with upper-body burns in moderate condition.

These developments unfold as broader regional tensions persist around Iran’s network of proxies, including Hezbollah and the situation in Gaza, and as observers monitor continued activity in Yemen. The broader diplomatic frame remains heavily influenced by questions of how the United States, aligned with Israel, pursues a strategy described by supporters as peace through strength, while opponents warn of the fragility of regional stability. We will keep you updated as new information becomes available.
