• Israel accused Hezbollah of violating a ceasefire by attacking Israeli soldiers in Lebanon, seriously injuring three, and responded with strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure; Israel condemned Hezbollah for using civilians as human shields.
• Iran's Chief Justice asserted Iran's sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, rejecting President Trump's claim that the U.S. might declare the strait American territory following the war.
• The UAE blamed Iran for recent attacks on ships affiliated with its state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) in the Strait of Hormuz, calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities and reopening of the waterway.
