1. Trump says he may support Israel-Iran ceasefire “depending on circumstances”
President Trump said he may support a ceasefire between Israel and Iran depending on how events unfold, but stressed that Europe would have little role in mediating the conflict as Iran prefers direct talks with the U.S. While declining to discuss the use of ground forces, Trump said he would decide within two weeks whether the U.S. will get involved, as the aerial conflict, triggered by Israel’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities continues to escalate.
2. Erdoğan: Türkiye pursues all diplomatic efforts for regional stability
President Erdoğan told Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan that Türkiye is actively using diplomacy to promote stability in the Caucasus and the broader region. He emphasised support for the Azerbaijan-Armenia peace process and reaffirmed Türkiye’s commitment to normalising ties with Armenia through a cooperative, “win-win” approach.
3. Israel says it killed veteran Iran commander as both sides attack
Israel confirmed the killing of senior Iranian commander Saeed Izadi in a strike on Qom, as it continued air raids targeting Iran's military infrastructure and nuclear facilities amid escalating tensions. Despite diplomatic efforts in Geneva, Iran refused talks under Israeli attacks, while President Trump signalled he would decide within two weeks whether the U.S. would join the conflict, warning that Iran could soon develop nuclear weapons.
4. Zelenskyy says Ukraine developing interceptor drones to counter Russian attacks
President Zelenskyy said Ukraine is rapidly boosting domestic production of interceptor drones to counter the growing number of Iranian-made Shahed drones used by Russia in large-scale attacks. With over 400 drones launched in single-night assaults, Ukrainian officials stress the need for cost-effective drone defences to preserve limited missile and aviation resources.
