Overview
- Israel struck the Isfahan nuclear site overnight, reporting no significant damage but killing Quds Force drone chief Amin For Judaki.
- A naval strike off Naqoura targeted Hezbollah’s Radwan Force infrastructure, and a separate Qom raid eliminated Quds Force commanders Saeed Izadi and Behnam Shahriyari.
- The U.S. deployed six B-2 stealth bombers to Guam, and President Trump warned Tehran it must stand down within two weeks as Israel threatens a pre-emptive strike on Fordow.
- Iran curtailed mass missile salvos in favor of fewer, high-precision next-generation ballistic launches capable of evading U.S. and Israeli air defenses.
- Diplomatic efforts unraveled when Egypt’s president called for a cease-fire and a Turkey-brokered U.S.-Iran meeting failed because Ayatollah Khamenei remained unreachable, exposing rifts in Washington over deeper involvement.
