- Trump also held Iran responsible for deaths and damage in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Gaza, and has alternated between threatening military strikes and applying economic pressure.
- Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei appointed Major General Ali Abdollahi as chief of staff of the armed forces and Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi as Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, marking his first senior military appointments since becoming supreme leader.
- Abdollahi has made aggressive statements warning regional neighbors against supporting the US, reflecting Iran’s hardened military stance amid ongoing tensions.
