On April 18, 2026, Israeli military analyst Alon Ben David warned that ongoing US-Iran negotiations risk strengthening Iran and leaving "Israel" exposed to its missile arsenal, according to Channel 13. Ben David, a senior military correspondent for Channel 13, stated the talks effectively grant legitimacy to Iranian leadership, potentially leaving Israel "alone" against an intact Iranian missile arsenal. Previously, on April 9, an Israeli official informed Channel 13 that Israel would ease military operations in Lebanon in the coming days under pressure from the United States, signaling Washington's active pushback against the Israeli campaign that had threatened a recently announced US-Iran ceasefire. Earlier, on December 2, 2025, a KTNV report highlighted Arizona's dwindling water resources, citing a November 2025 Bureau of Reclamation 24-Month Study that projected significant Colorado River cuts after 2026, noting Lake Mead and Lake Powell were "steady" only due to brief storms, not real recovery. On October 2, 2025, KTNV also reported on a study indicating that demand for Colorado River water outpaces supply across its watershed, urging officials to take "bold action" on declining reservoir levels. Separately, on September 30, 2025, KTNV reported that the Windsor Park housing project in Las Vegas began construction, though only 60 of the planned 93 homes would be built in the first phase, with 33 awaiting funding.
