Israel Hayom is a media organization founded on the belief that the Israeli public deserves better journalism—more balanced, more accurate, and more reliable. Journalism that speaks rather than shouts. Journalism that is trustworthy, objective, and matter-of-fact. A different kind of journalism, offered free of charge. The first print edition was published on July 30, 2007, and in 2010 Israel Hayom became the Israeli newspaper with the highest weekday readership. The newspaper’s publisher is Dr. Miriam Adelson. Its Editor-in-Chief is Omar Lachmanovitch, and its founding editor is Amos Regev. Israel Hayom’s Hebrew and English websites, as well as its Android and iOS applications, provide around-the-clock news coverage, exclusive content, breaking news and updates, analysis and commentary, video, podcasts, and live broadcasts. The digital platforms of Israel Hayom include news and opinion channels covering culture and entertainment, lifestyle, technology, sports, business and consumer affairs, health, military affairs, food, Judaism, tourism, and automobiles. In 2021, a new Hebrew-language website and mobile application were launched to provide users with a fast, up-to-date, secure, and convenient experience. The content of the newspaper’s print edition is also available online through a daily digital edition and can be received via newsletter. “The Israel Hayom Clique,” the publication’s exclusive benefits club, offers website users discounts and special promotions on products and services. Israel Hayom welcomes feedback, criticism, and suggestions for improvement from its readers. You can contact the organization by email at hayom@israelhayom.co.il
Maritime security firm Ambrey said a drone struck a US-owned gas storage tanker at Egypt’s Damietta Port, with the fire spreading to a second vessel. Cairo has played down the incident, reporting a fire in an engine room, while security officials said no attack took place. The port appeared on a target list circulated on pro-Iranian Telegram channels in response to a Ukrainian strike in the Caspian Sea.
According to a Wall Street Journal report citing an Iranian diplomatic source, Tehran hopes US President Donald Trump’s desire to secure an achievement before the November elections will help it extract concessions from him. Meanwhile, in talks with Oman, Iran continues to insist on charging vessels for passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
An iron gallows has been erected in an Isfahan square where protests erupted in January. Families of several of the 10 remaining prisoners sentenced to death have been summoned for farewell visits. UN experts warn of closed-door trials and confessions obtained under duress, urging Tehran to stop the executions.
Tehran reports “progress” in talks with Oman over the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Politico reports Gulf states are struggling to agree on how to end the war with Iran: “They are coordinating their messaging to Congress and the US State Department, but there is no consensus among them.”
Regional sources say Iran’s president and foreign minister are trying to preserve the channel for talks with the US, but their influence is waning as the Revolutionary Guards are expanding their grip on key centers of power.
The B-1, the US Air Force’s heavy strategic bomber, has returned to action over Iran for the first time since the ceasefire took effect in early April. The aircraft, which entered operational service in the late 1980s, is used to strike fortified targets while flying at supersonic speeds. Is this a prelude to “opening the gates of hell”?
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier that Iran transferred thousands of uranium-enrichment centrifuges into tunnels deep inside the mountain as early as last fall.
The centrifuges are believed to be housed in an underground complex buried approximately 90 to 140 meters beneath solid rock. An IDF official familiar with target selection efforts expressed concern that airstrikes in the latest war had not sufficiently damaged work related to nuclear weapons.
Pakistan, Turkey and China are involved in efforts to secure a brief Gulf ceasefire, but Washington insists there will be no negotiations unless the Strait of Hormuz is fully reopened. Meanwhile, Marco Rubio and JD Vance signal openness to diplomacy as the US military sends additional forces to the region.
Yemen's Iran-backed group threatens wider escalation as pro-government forces reinforce key battlefronts.
