- US and Iran launched new strikes against each other, and Trump told NATO the deal with Tehran is "over," according to Reuters' live coverage
- Tehran retaliated by targeting Bahrain and Kuwait after the US strikes, and 8 Iranian army members were killed in US attacks on a southern site, per NPR
Why it matters: Trump's declaration to NATO that the Tehran track is finished signals a shift from indirect diplomacy to open kinetic action, while Iran's retaliatory targeting of Bahrain and Kuwait drags two additional US-allied Gulf states directly into the exchange.
