• More US Strikes: The United States has carried out another wave of strikes against Iran, saying the operation was aimed at “further degrading their ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz,” according to US Central Command. Iranian state media reported explosions near the southern coastal cities of Bandar Abbas and Sirik.
• Trump’s Warning: Speaking before departing the NATO summit in Turkey, President Donald Trump signaled that additional US military action against Iran was likely. Iran’s deputy foreign minister condemned Trump, calling him a “criminal,” while another Iranian official told CNN that the president’s remarks were “disgusting.”
• Support for Ukraine: In separate comments alongside President Volodymyr Zelensky in Ankara, Trump said he plans to discuss providing Ukraine with the capability to manufacture its own Patriot air defense missile systems, a move aimed at strengthening Kyiv’s long-term defense capabilities.
