- The US military carried out a second consecutive night of strikes on dozens of sites across Iran, prompting Iran to accuse the US of hitting the perimeter of its Bushehr nuclear power plant.
- Iran responded to the US attacks by targeting Kuwait and Bahrain, while Jordanian air defences successfully intercepted eight missiles launched from Iran, reporting no casualties or damage.
- US Central Command stated that its strikes were intended to degrade Iran's capacity to threaten freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, following Iran's recent targeting of three oil tankers in the crucial waterway.
- President Donald Trump warned that the conflict could "get much worse" and declared a ceasefire agreed as part of an interim peace deal to be "over," also making a gaffe by referring to "the Islamic Republic of Japan" during a discussion about attacks on a US aircraft carrier.
- Three members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were killed in the US strikes, and the naval arm of the Guards warned of a "crushing response" to any further US intervention in determining traffic routes in the Strait of Hormuz.
