Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israel is prepared to launch a third strike on Iran with greater force if necessary, while military chief Eyal Zamir said the army remains on high alert and ready for any operation amid rising regional tensions.
Iran's Health Ministry said 14 people were killed and 78 injured in U.S. strikes over the past two days. As Washington expanded its attacks to nearly 90 targets across Iran, Tehran accused the U.S. of committing a "serious war crime" and warned of further escalation.
The United States launched a second consecutive day of airstrikes against Iran, with CENTCOM saying the attacks targeted Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian media reported explosions in Chabahar, Bandar Abbas, Bushehr and other areas, while Tehran claimed damage and casualties from the strikes.
Ukraine said its drones struck three Russian oil refineries, oil tankers in the Sea of Azov and pipeline pumping stations in overnight attacks reaching as far as the Ural region. Russia claimed its air defenses destroyed 415 Ukrainian drones, while officials acknowledged attacks in multiple regions without detailing the damage.
U.S. President Donald Trump said the interim ceasefire agreement with Iran is now “over,” accusing Tehran of misrepresenting the understanding reached between the two sides. The U.S.-brokered deal, facilitated by Pakistan, had provided a 60-day period for negotiations toward a permanent agreement. Trump also said Washington has revoked a license allowing Iranian oil sales after renewed tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.
The United States launched a new wave of strikes on southern Iran, targeting air defense systems, missile sites, and drone launch facilities after accusing Tehran of attacking commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Washington also reimposed restrictions on Iranian oil exports, prompting Iran to condemn the move as a violation of their recent memorandum of understanding.
Three vessels reported attacks near the Strait of Hormuz, including a Qatari LNG carrier hit by a drone strike that caused a fire. Qatar blamed Iran for the incident, while Tehran has not yet commented. The attacks come weeks after Iran agreed to keep the strategic waterway open for commercial shipping.
U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran that Washington could “finish the job” if no agreement is reached, claiming the U.S. has the ability to cripple Iran’s infrastructure. Tehran responded by rejecting the threats, warning that continued pressure would block any future negotiations.
Two explosions near a hotel in Damascus where French President Emmanuel Macron was staying injured at least 18 people. Macron was not at the location during the blasts and continued his scheduled visit to meet Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa. Authorities said explosive devices were found in a vehicle and a garbage container.
