US President Donald Trump, in an interview with Israel's Channel 12, noted that Tehran does not want a deal with Washington and is prepared for various conflict resolution scenarios, including prolonging or quickly ending it. The White House reported that Trump held talks with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, although details remain undisclosed.

Trump publicly stated that Iran would need several years to recover from the current attacks. Reports indicate the strikes did not seriously damage the country's missile and defense capabilities, according to CNN. At the same time, one of Iraq's largest paramilitary groups, 'Al-Nujaba,' announced its decision to support Iran.

According to Kirill Dmitriev, the Russian president's special representative for investment and economic cooperation, oil prices on the global market could exceed $100 per barrel, and Tehran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz would lead to a 'global oil shock.' Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that signs indicate Khamenei is dead, but the Iranian side has not confirmed the details.

According to Axios, US and Israeli bombing campaigns against Iran are expected to last at least five days.
