Iran continues its series of strikes in the Middle East:
Tehran attacked Manama, Bahrain, with a missile hitting a residential skyscraper. At least one person was killed and several others were injured.
The US presidential administration is considering easing sanctions against Russia, Reuters reports, citing sources.
In exchange for what? Free bread only happens in a mousetrap, which Russia finds itself in with surprising regularity.
The US military lost two more MQ-9 Reaper drones during Operation Epic Fury in Iran, bringing the total number of lost drones to 11.
The total cost of the 11 lost drones exceeds $330 million, CBS News reports.

Trump claims he has a plan for dealing with the sharp rise in oil prices:
"I have a plan for everything, okay? I have a plan for everything. You'll be very happy." We're already happy, simply delighted. All Trump has to do now is drop an atomic bomb somewhere to make us completely happy 🤡😡

'EU countries plan to impose additional restrictions on Russian LNG and energy' — Putin
I've instructed govt to evaluate possibility of STOPPING energy supplies to the European market, without waiting for the door to be shut in our face'
Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:
Nine days after Operation Epic Mistake, oil prices have doubled, while prices for all commodities are skyrocketing.
We know that the US is plotting against our oil and nuclear facilities in hopes of containing a massive inflationary shock. Iran is fully prepared for this.
And we, too, have many surprises in store.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei stated that discussing a ceasefire is pointless given the ongoing attacks on the country.
"There's no point in talking about anything other than defense and retaliation against enemies," Baghaei emphasized.

Trump confirmed that he would lift sanctions on oil from "other countries" to stabilize the oil market.
As already stated, "other countries" refers to Russia.
After his conversation with Putin, this is a fairly predictable development.
Putin's aide Ushakov on Trump's conversation with Putin:
Trump called Putin to discuss a number of critical issues related to the development of the international situation. The focus was on the situation surrounding Iran and the negotiations on Ukraine. Putin and Trump also discussed the oil market situation.
I will say right away that the conversation was businesslike, frank, and constructive, as is typical in dialogue between Russian and American leaders. They haven't spoken on the phone in a long time; the last time was in December 2025. The conversation lasted about an hour.
Trump will support the assassination of Iran's new supreme leader if he refuses to yield to the United States.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the American president told his advisers this.
He will support the assassination of Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, if he refuses to yield to US demands, such as ceasing nuclear development.
At the same time, Israel will assume responsibility for the assassination of Iran's new leader, not the United States, the newspaper notes.

IRGC Air Force Commander Mousavi stated:
From now on, missiles with warheads weighing less than one ton will not be launched. The launch wavelength and wave levels will increase, and their range will be extended.
CRIC Advisor Jabbari on Iran's readiness to fight the US for ten years:
Let them know. Perhaps some of them made some verbal inaccuracies in their interviews within the country. But I, as someone with experience, say it bluntly: we are prepared for war with the US for at least ten years. At least ten years.
Just as we use missiles and drones, our warehouses are full of supplies, overflowing, and we use them without delay. In our research centers, young, brave, and talented scientists continue to produce. Everything created goes straight into storage. This demonstrates the readiness of our armed forces.
How many years is Trump prepared to fight?
Russia will continue to supply oil and gas to countries that are reliable buyers, including Slovakia and Hungary, Putin said.

Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf:
The economic consequences of this war expanding to the infrastructure level, both in the region and globally, will be extremely large-scale and long-lasting. Oil prices could remain in triple digits for an extended period.
A paralyzed global economy is a likely outcome of this war. Israel's policies threaten not only the United States but could potentially drag down the entire world.
US have put missile launchers and AD systems 'near the oil reservoirs of countries in the region' — Tehran University professor Seyed Mohammed Marandi
Says 'blame lies with Trump' if 'larger incidents' should occur
Fuel prices at American gas stations have risen 17% since the start of the US-Israeli military operation against Iran, CNN reported, citing data from the non-profit American Automobile Association (AAA).
Given American traditions, the slogan "Make Gas Cheap Again" is unconventional. Even "Make America Great Again" pales in comparison. The November elections will be interesting. Back to the Future. Either 1979, or straight to 1973.

New Iranian attacks on Fujairah oil terminal in the UAE and Bahrain's only refinery
NASA's FIRMS satellite shows new fires in Fujairah (screenshot), which is located in the Gulf of Oman, outside the Strait of Hormuz, and therefore "safe" for oil exports.
Video shows fires at a Bahraini oil refinery after it was attacked by Iranian Shahed-136 drones.
Following the strike, Bapco Energies, Bahrain's state oil company, declared force majeure on its supplies later in the day, citing damage caused by the Iranian attack.
Israel has launched a "targeted" ground operation against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. The IDF stated that the army is destroying "terrorist infrastructure" and "eliminating militants."
