- U.S. Central Command reported Iran launched multiple one-way attack drones targeting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz on June 13, 2026, and said U.S. forces downed all of them while traffic flow continued unimpeded.
- Donald Trump announced a U.S.-Iran peace deal will be signed on June 14 and accused Iran of carrying out drone attacks against Indian ships leaving the Strait of Hormuz, calling the alleged action "totally unacceptable."
- Iran rejected Trump's accusation of targeting Indian ships as "baseless."
- Israel struck several areas in southern Lebanon on June 13, hitting the villages of Rihan and Sujud near Nabatieh shortly after issuing evacuation warnings for 20 locations.
- Jaishankar spoke to Rubio and lodged a strong protest over U.S. Navy attacks that killed three Indian nationals, according to a related report referenced in the live blog.
Why it matters: Three Indian nationals were killed in U.S. Navy attacks, prompting India's protest even as Washington announced a June 14 peace deal with Iran — meaning the signing arrives with an active diplomatic complaint from New Delhi, Iran's denial of any attacks on Indian ships unresolved, and continued Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon still in play.
