➡️ Trump confirmed he is "close to making a decision for a massive attack" while emphasizing no final order exists, a status corroborated by two senior American officials who noted the military has received no new directives.

➡️ Oil prices reached $100 per barrel amid the escalation, despite domestic unpopularity for renewed conflict; Trump asserted Israel "would join in two minutes" but the US "doesn't need anyone." He acknowledged "consequences" for Israel via potential Iranian retaliation while two regional sources reported Tehran is currently "not cooperating" with mediation proposals.

Preparations for the "Wing of Zion" official aircraft have been frozen, despite Trump’s stated willingness to meet Netanyahu if he arrives in the capital.

⚡️🇺🇸🇸🇦🇮🇷 — White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt responding to a Q: "Why does Saudi Arabia get a civilian nuclear deal but Iran doesn’t?":

«Well, again, this agreement is still being worked out. It will eventually, hopefully, be finalized with the condition that the president spoke about this morning. But this agreement in particular, as it's been discussed thus far, does give priority access for American companies and Saudi nuclear energy program, which will ultimately benefit American industry workers and supply chains. So the deal that has been discussed thus far and will continue to be discussed absolutely puts America first, and that's obviously very important to this president.»

The situation regarding Iran poses challenges for us, particularly concerning anti-ballistic air defense and maintaining U.S. attention on Russia's war against Ukraine.
