Overview

  • Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said Israel has "already won" the war with Iran but offered no timeline for ending operations.
  • Iran launched multiple missile salvos at Israel on Tuesday, underscoring that Tehran still retains long-range strike capability.
  • Defense Minister Israel Katz announced Israeli forces killed senior Iranian security figure Ali Larijani.
  • Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, constricting about 20% of global oil and LNG flows and pushing energy prices higher.
  • Several U.S. allies declined President Trump’s call to send naval escorts for tankers, while Estonia signaled conditional support pending clearer objectives.
