Iranian missile and drone strikes on Israel and Arab states in the Persian Gulf, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait, continued for the third consecutive day. These attacks followed Iran's confirmation of the assassination of its national security chief, Ali Larijani, in an Israeli strike. Meanwhile, Trump announced that the US would soon be ready to end the war, and a strike also targeted an area near the Bushehr nuclear power plant, which Russia reported was without casualties.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Russia is seeking to bolster Iran's military capabilities amid tensions with the US and Israel by providing satellite imagery and advanced drone technology. According to the report, Moscow seeks to prolong the war in the region for political and economic benefits, and the shared technology includes improved components for Shahed drones with better navigation and communication systems.
