US EditionIsrael Designates Iran’s Central Bank ‘Terror Organisation’ Following Ceasefire
- On Wednesday, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz designated Iran's Central Bank and other Iranian entities as terrorist organizations following a US-brokered ceasefire with Iran.

- Israeli military operations during the conflict destroyed about 80 anti-aircraft batteries and 250 missile launchers, while Iran launched roughly 1,000 drones and 550 missiles against Israel.
- General Eyal Zamir stated on Tuesday that a significant phase concluded but the campaign against Iran continues in a new phase, indicating sustained Israeli efforts to dismantle Iran's terror infrastructure.
