  • Iran’s foreign minister stated his country would not negotiate with the US as long as Israel continued airstrikes, maintaining Iran's nuclear program is peaceful.
  • Iranian ballistic missiles struck a building near Haifa, injuring at least 17 people, prompting a warning of revenge from Iran’s religious ruler, Ali Khamenei.
  • Israel reported conducting multiple airstrikes on Iran, targeting industrial sites for missile manufacturing and a research agency linked to potential nuclear device development.
  • Diplomatic talks in Geneva involving Iran, the EU, and the UK showed no breakthrough, with the UK urging Iran to engage in diplomacy with the US within a two-week window.
