- - Israeli media and other outlets reported stepped‑up U.S.–Israeli planning for possible joint strikes on Iran targeting energy and leadership nodes, though no final order has been announced.
- - Israel carried out new strikes in southern Lebanon after a U.S.‑brokered cease-fire was extended, with Lebanese authorities reporting thousands dead since March and fresh displacement from towns told to evacuate.
- - Parallel security moves continued as the U.S. charged an alleged Kataib Hezbollah operative in New York and, in a joint operation with Nigeria, said it killed ISIS‑West Africa figure Abu Bilal al‑Minyooki, while Bahrain issued a life sentence in an Iran–Hezbollah espionage case.
