  • The US death toll in the conflict has risen to 16, including a missing American Navy pilot recently declared dead; military officials have withheld identities and specific details out of respect for families.
  • Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed to have destroyed at least two US fighter aircraft at Al-Azraq base in Jordan, though the US military declined to confirm this report.
  • Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei condemned the US for breaching the ceasefire agreement, calling the US president's signature "utterly worthless," amid ongoing hostilities that have resulted in thousands of deaths across the Middle East.
