The U.S. launched a broad new wave of strikes in Iran for the second night in a row. President Donald Trump said Israel was not involved in the Tomahawk missile attacks on targets across Iran. In response, Iran fired missiles at what it called "important" targets in Kuwait and Bahrain.

In Israel, officials are seeing growing signs that the United States may be nearing a decision on military action against Iran, though the timing remains unclear. The IDF is raising its alert level and maintaining especially close coordination with the United States.

Tensions spike in the Persian Gulf after missiles detonate near a U.S. destroyer in the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM chief Brad Cooper says forces responded to Iranian aggression; Tehran vows a "night of rage," and Israel keeps its defenses on high alert.

President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s proposal to end the war, saying, "Iran is asking for things I cannot agree to." Tehran responded: "We do not rule out a preemptive strike."

Macron says the strictly defensive mission, separate from the warring parties, would deploy as soon as conditions allow, as Washington tightens shipping restrictions and Tehran warns 'enemy' vessels won't pass.
