CENTCOM Says Iran’s Defense Base Is 90% Destroyed

Overview

• CENTCOM’s top commander told senators the U.S.-Israeli campaign has wrecked about 90% of Iran’s defense industrial base and choked off support to Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis.
• President Donald Trump has said the ceasefire with Iran is on life support, and Senate Republicans are now publicly split over whether to resume military action.
• A Hezbollah drone strike near Rosh Hanikra in northern Israel wounded three civilians, including two in serious condition, underscoring the fragility of the pause in fighting.
• The Open Society Foundations pledged $30 million over three years to counter antisemitism and anti-Muslim hate, directing grants to progressive Jewish groups that often challenge establishment positions.
• Trump’s national “Shabbat 250” proclamation drew strong uptake from many Orthodox and conservative groups, while progressive congregations voiced concern about government steps that blur church–state lines.
