- Iran’s judiciary said detained protester Erfan (Essam) Soltani has not been sentenced to death and faces charges that do not carry capital punishment.
- The U.S. Treasury sanctioned Iranian officials and a shadow banking network tied to oil revenues, while Washington kept military options on the table and repositioned some personnel in the Gulf.
