As Iran continues to launch strikes against U.S. bases and infrastructure located in partner nations across the region, U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth released a statement on the ongoing joint U.S. Israeli strikes against Iran calling Operation Epic Fury, the most lethal, most complex, and most precise aerial operation in history, and noting that strikes would continue to target Iranian missile stockpills and production facilities. Centcom's task for Scorpion Strike for the first time in history is using one-way attack drones in combat during Operation Epic Fury, delivering American-made retribution. These drones, modeled after Iran's shard drones, represent a new approach in this campaign. Video showing U.S. and Katari air defense systems engaging Iranian missiles over al-Yudade air base accompanies the broader display of Allied operations.

And debris caused a minor fire on the Burj al-Arab's outer façade. An Iranian drone also hit a civilian area in Bahrain, underscoring the widening regional

In the conflict with Iran and its regional proxies, Lebanese security services arrested Ahmad Makhtar, a shea resident of the southern village of Ansar, for collaborating with Israeli intelligence after monitoring flagged online contacts and foreign travel. He is accused of providing target verification, strike damage imagery, and location coordinates in exchange for payments estimated between 6,000 euros and 10,000 euros. His family publicly disavowed him and demanded the harshest penalties, while the Ansar municipality distanced the town from the acts. Investigations are ongoing. In U.S. policy concerning Israel, the United States and Israel defended their strikes at the United Nations as Iran alleges, war crime. Over civilian deaths during an emergency security council meeting, U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz emphasized that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, and framed the action as lawful and necessary for global security. Waltz also noted Iran's recent crackdowns on protesters, as part of Tehran's broader
