Big tension for Netanyahu as Israel's intelligence report reveals Iran will have more than 10 thousand dangerous missiles by..., they will be...
The intelligence report of the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) says that Iran's missile arsenal will double in the next three years. Iran currently has about 2500-3000 missiles. By 2028, the number of missiles is expected to increase to more than 10,000. The IDF says that the rapid increase in Iran's missile capability can bring significant changes in the regional security scenario in the coming years. How is it a challenge for Israel?
The IDF report could pose a challenge to Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu has repeatedly called Iran's military capabilities a threat to his country's existence. Iran's missile attacks have put Israel in trouble even before the recent conflict. Last year, in 2024, Iran rained missiles on Israel twice, in April and in October. Israeli air defense has also been seen failing many times in front of the Iranian missile and drone barrage. Iran-Israel conflict of 2024
IDF sources say that when Israel attacked Iran on June 13, Tehran had 2,500 ballistic missiles but it is engaged in missile manufacturing on a large scale. In such a situation, the IDF intelligence team estimates that Iran will have 6,000 missiles by 2026. By August 2027, Iran will have 8,800 and at any time in the year 2028 it will cross the figure of 10,000. What Israel claims
IDF sources have claimed that Tehran had 400 ballistic missile launchers before the 12-day war that lasted from June 13 to 24. The IDF has destroyed half of them in the war. This has given Israel some relief about Iran's ballistic missile threat. The IDF says Iran has increased its production of missile launchers, but it is not at the level of ballistic missiles.

Trump suspends UCLA grants after rights probe
The federal govt is suspending certain research funding to the University of California at Los Angeles, citing concerns about antisemitism and bias on campus, according UCLA chancellor Julio Frenk. In a message to students and staff, Frenk said the freeze could affect hundreds of grants from agencies including the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. He called the decision a blow to researchers and the broader public who benefit from their work in areas such as medical innovation and space exploration. "This far-reaching penalty of de-funding life-saving research does nothing to address any alleged discrimination," Frenk said in the message on Thursday. The Los Angeles Times reported that the suspended grants are worth roughly $200 million. The funding freeze follows a federal investigation that found UCLA violated federal civil rights laws by failing to address antisemitic harassment on campus. This week, the department of justice's civil rights division said the university acted with "deliberate indifference" to reports of abuse targeting Jewish and Israeli students since the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and the ensuing conflict. The department cited UCLA for failing to meet its legal obligations under the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. Frenk said the university has contingency plans in place to protect students, faculty and staff.

Israel intercepts Huthi missile fired from Yemen
The Israeli military said it intercepted a missile fired from Yemen on Friday, which the Iran-backed Huthi rebels said they had launched. Protesters, predominantly Houthi supporters, demonstrate in solidarity with Palestinians in Sanaa, Yemen, on August 1, 2025.(Reuters) "Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile that was launched from Yemen was intercepted," the Israeli military said. The Huthis targeted Israel's Ben Gurion airport "using a 'Palestine 2' hypersonic ballistic missile", their military spokesman Yahya Saree said in a video statement. The rebels have launched repeated missile and drone attacks against Israel since their Palestinian ally Hamas's October 2023 attack on Israel sparked the Gaza war. The Huthis, who say they are acting in support of the Palestinians, paused their attacks during a two-month ceasefire in Gaza that ended in March, but renewed them after Israel resumed major operations. Israel has carried out several retaliatory strikes in Yemen, targeting Huthi-held ports and the airport in the rebel-held capital Sanaa.
