  • Separately, Oman temporarily halted oil loading operations at its Mina al Fahal terminal following an explosion near the facility, which sources suggest was caused by a drone attack, though operations have since resumed.
  • In Lebanon, Iran-backed Hezbollah rejected a new US-brokered ceasefire proposal, asserting that the group was not involved in the negotiation process.
  • Concurrently, Israel continued its military strikes in southern Lebanon, with Defence Minister Israel Katz confirming that operations would persist and troops would not be withdrawn.
