UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for renewed negotiations between the United States and Iran, as military activity continues in the Middle East. He emphasized the need for maximum containment and freedom of navigation in key maritime routes, such as the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab. Iran claimed it targeted US forces at an air base in Bahrain, while the US military responded with strikes against Iranian targets, including radar installations, communication facilities, and maritime assets.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards also reported striking US bases in Erbil, Iraq, destroying a maintenance center and warehouses.
