According to Behadrei Haredim, CENTCOM commander Admiral Brad Cooper toured over the Strait of Hormuz and stressed the US commitment to freedom of navigation, noting that the main trade routes are clear of Iranian mines. On the same day, a Qatari mediation delegation arrived in Tehran.

The US president claimed that the nuclear sites bombed in Iran are covered with rocks and have not been restored, according to Ynet and Kikar HaShabbat. According to Ynet, Trump said: "We see a tag of a person from space," in response to the "Tel Aviv atom" simulation presented by Netanyahu.

According to Ynet, the State Department acknowledged that it evacuated staff from Riyadh due to the escalation with the Houthis, and according to Kikar HaShabbat, families from the embassy were also evacuated. According to Ynet, Sri Lanka rescued 40 Iranian sailors who "needed treatment," and in Tehran preparations are underway for the possibility of renewed fire.
