Iran's Revolutionary Guards carried out strikes on Kuwait and Bahrain after US President Donald Trump declared the US-Iran ceasefire "over." Explosions were heard in Bahrain, and Kuwait's air defenses intercepted "hostile missile and drone attacks." The blasts came after the Revolutionary Guards vowed a "devastating response" to fresh American strikes on Iranian territory.

The previous day, the US military launched new air strikes against Iran hours after Trump said an interim agreement to end the war with Iran was "over." Meanwhile, the funeral procession of Iran's late supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei continued to draw massive crowds as it made its way through the holy cities of Iraq, home to some of the Shia faith's most sacred shrines.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized Trump's willingness to sell Turkey F-35 fighter jets, saying it would "destroy" the balance of power in the Middle East.
