- Trump said Washington was considering “winding down” its military operation against Iran.
- Iran launched two 4,000 km‑range ballistic missiles at the US‑UK military base Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.
- Eyal Zamir said the missiles were not intended to strike Israel and that their range reaches European capitals such as Berlin, Paris and Rome.
- Diego Garcia is a US‑UK military base in the Indian Ocean that was targeted by Iran’s long‑range missiles.
- Red Crescent rescue teams were seen in Tehran working amid a building damaged by a strike, highlighting the broader humanitarian impact of the US‑Israeli war on Iran.
Why it matters: Iran’s 4,000‑km missiles can reach European capitals such as Berlin, Paris and Rome, expanding the conflict’s geographic scope beyond the Middle East, while Trump’s comment that Washington is weighing winding down the war signals a possible shift in U.S. military engagement.
