U.S. President Donald Trump announced what he called the toughest economic campaign ever imposed on Iran, aiming to increase pressure until a new nuclear agreement is reached. He warned that any country continuing to trade with or financially support Iran could face severe economic consequences and sanctions. At the same time, the United Arab Emirates announced the suspension of all trade and financial transactions with Tehran following the recent regional escalation.

A day after Israel's airstrike on a Syrian military base, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir visited the area and said Israel would not allow hostile forces to establish themselves near its borders. Israel said the strike aimed to prevent a planned Turkish deployment at the base. Turkish media condemned the attack and linked it to regional diplomacy, while satellite images reportedly showed ongoing efforts to repair the damaged airbase.

After nearly three years of war, the IDF announced the return of the requirement to wear Class A uniforms at official ceremonies and formal events.
