Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear and missile programs may lead to regime change. In his first press briefing since the conflict began, Netanyahu claimed 10 Iranian scientists and several senior military officials were killed. He stated Israel destroyed parts of Iran’s nuclear facilities, missile stockpiles, and air defense systems, adding, “Israel now controls the skies of Tehran.” Netanyahu emphasized, “We’re on the path to victory,” and warned that Iran’s regime could collapse, similar to the Soviet Union. He confirmed coordination with the US and daily talks with President Trump.

Governor Phil Murphy urged residents to stay home, as submerged vehicles and flooded roads paralyzed districts like Somerville and Plainsville. In New York City, subway lines 1, 2, and 3 were suspended, with water pouring into stations like 23rd Street. Social media footage showed stairwells turning into waterfalls and passengers stranded in subway cars.
Floodwaters also disrupted traffic on Manhattan’s FDR Drive. Nearly 18 million people across the East Coast, including in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, remain under flood warnings.
