- Araghchi asserts that Trump and other U.S. officials, as well as Israeli officials involved, bear individual criminal responsibility for war crimes tied to the attacks.
- Iranian state media describe a 12-day air war in June and report death tolls exceeding 900, with Press TV putting the figure above 1,100, alongside extensive damage to infrastructure and nuclear sites.
