- The US completed a wave of strikes targeting Iran's air defenses and missile capabilities, per The Jerusalem Post's headline.
- Iran's IRNA reported that an unnamed "enemy" launched missiles toward Qeshm Island, without attributing the attack to a specific country or party.
- Unclaimed airstrikes hit Iran, with The Times of Israel raising the possibility of Gulf state involvement rather than confirming any actor.
Why it matters: The US directly struck Iran's strategic air defense and missile infrastructure in a major military escalation. Separately, unclaimed airstrikes hit Iran with possible Gulf state involvement flagged by The Times of Israel, while IRNA attributed incoming missiles at Qeshm Island to an unnamed 'enemy' — leaving the retaliatory actor officially unidentified.
