- The Houthi movement, which launched missiles toward Israel on Saturday, also warned it could shut the Bab al-Mandeb strait, putting Red Sea and Suez traffic at risk as Maersk paused work at Oman's Salalah port after a drone attack.
- Iran struck the U.S. Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia with a missile and drones, wounding about 15 to 20 U.S. personnel and damaging refueling aircraft, with some reports saying an E-3 airborne radar jet was also hit.
- Israeli forces said they hit command hubs, missile sites, and air defenses in Tehran, while Iranian media reported U.S.–Israeli missiles struck the port of Bandar Khamir near the Strait of Hormuz, killing five people.
- The Pentagon is preparing options for weeks of limited ground raids inside Iran if ordered, as about 2,500 Marines on the USS Tripoli arrive in theater and additional Marine and paratrooper units move toward the region.
- U.S. forces have fired more than 850 Tomahawk cruise missiles in four weeks, which has raised stockpile concerns, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. may divert some weapons originally slated for Ukraine if needed.
