💥 Trump says the U.S. campaign against Iran is continuing.
President Trump said the United States is not preparing to withdraw and would strike any Iranian attempt to rebuild its nuclear infrastructure.
“If we left right now, it would take Iran 20 to 25 years to rebuild. We're not finished at all. We are not leaving right now”.
Trump said the U.S. would soon attack Pickaxe Mountain and would also target a newly discussed nuclear site.
“We will absolutely attack the new site they are talking about. They're in this because of nuclear weapons, and they’re trying to reconstitute a nuclear site. We'll hit that site. Any site where they're even thinking about nuclear weapons, we'll hit it very, very powerfully”.
Trump said Iran wants to “desperately meet,” but that Washington is not interested in talks until Tehran is prepared for a meaningful meeting.
❗ Israeli security officials assess a significant risk of renewed war.
A senior Israeli security official told Channel 14 that Iran and the United States are considering their next steps and that Israel’s security establishment remains on maximum alert.
“We are facing critical days. Both Iran and the US are considering their next steps. The security system is on maximum alert for any developments. We estimate there is approximately a 50% chance of war in the near future”.
✈️ U.S. military activity and strikes continue across the region.
Several U.S. Air Force B-1 bombers were observed departing RAF Fairford in the United Kingdom, while the USS Mason conducted a replenishment at sea in regional waters.
Separately, U.S. Air Force aircraft destroyed an underground IRGC missile-launch facility in Shiraz. The facility had been used to attack U.S. bases in Bahrain and Kuwait.
⚓ Sana’a imposes a maritime ban as Trump warns of a possible U.S. response.
Sana’a authorities said a ban targeting traffic to Saudi ports took effect Monday, accusing Riyadh of obstructing negotiations over state salaries, prisoner releases and measures to ease the blockade, according to Tasnim and Saba.
Yemen’s Defense Ministry said six vessels reversed course within 24 hours after receiving warnings. Sana’a said negotiations through Omani mediators remain open but warned that the window is narrowing without substantive Saudi commitments.
Addressing the Houthi-declared naval blockade, Trump said the United States would respond if the measure were implemented.
“We’ll see what happens. So far, it hasn’t happened. It might happen, but we’ll take care of things if something like that happens.
“We’ve done that with the Houthis before, and we haven’t heard from them in a while since we did what we did. They’ve had no problem with us for a long period of time, including during this conflict.
“I think that if there is something like that, we’ll just have to take care of business”.
🌍 Iran warns Bulgaria against facilitating potential U.S. attacks.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry issued the warning after Sofia reportedly considered an American request involving military aircraft deployments, according to Tasnim.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baqaei said any Bulgarian role in preparing or executing strikes would be considered “complicity in the commission of an act of aggression and war crimes.”
