Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced he will replace Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko as part of a broader government reshuffle aimed at implementing a new political strategy.

He thanked Svyrydenko for her service and said he has offered her a new role with a key international partner.

Ukrainian media and opposition figures speculate she could become Ukraine's ambassador to the US, but no successor has been officially named.

CENTCOM:

The Strait of Hormuz is open to all vessels seeking to lawfully transit the international waterway. U.S. forces are positioned and prepared to ensure that freedom of navigation remains available despite unwarranted Iranian aggression, harassment, threats, and arbitrary declarations. Iran does not control the strait. Traffic is flowing.

Iran's Strait Authority says transit through the Strait of Hormuz is temporarily suspended due to recent U.S. military actions in the region.

Netanyahu on Lindsey Graham:

He was a wonderful, wonderful friend, a great American patriot, and a great champion of the Israel-American alliance.

And I'll miss him personally a lot, a lot. I really, really thought the world of him.

And I think the world has lost a great human being. America's lost a great senator and we have lost a great friend.

Netanyahu on Lindsey Graham:

You remember the Superman comics: "Truth, justice and the American way."

That was Lindsey Graham.

Q: You had no greater ally in Congress than Senator Graham. Who do you think will pick up that mantle?

Netanyahu: There are quite a few candidates.

Netanyahu:

We value every human life.

Netanyahu on Lindsey Graham:

In the last conversation I had with Lindsey Graham, I told him, "We can finance our own defense."

He went ballistic. He said, "No way—you can't do that!"

He was so committed to Israel's security that he actually argued with me to keep American aid flowing to Israel.

CENTCOM:

Iran does not control the Strait of Hormuz. It remains an international waterway. U.S. forces are positioned and prepared to keep it that way.

Q: If you had one word to remember Lindsey Graham, what would it be?

Netanyahu: Patriot.

This is a big blow to the SAVE America Act.

Israeli fighter jets struck the Al-Sinaa area in western Gaza City.

Trump on Iran:

They agreed to a deal yesterday. Perfect deal for us. No nuclear. They gave up everything.

And then after that, they left the room, and within an hour they launched a drone at a ship.

Israeli elections will be held on Oct. 27.
