Hours after Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized their full support for each other regarding 'finishing the job' in the war against Iran, Abbas Araghchi wrote on social media: 'The last time you wanted to finish the job, Iran emerged stronger than before. Do you want to try your luck again? Go ahead! But be careful; we have unfinished business too.' The Revolutionary Guard reported a tanker colliding with a mine in the southern Strait of Hormuz, but the British Maritime Trade Organization stated that the incident involved a tugboat and was due to two projectiles hitting it. Israeli media reported an emergency landing of an Austrian Airlines flight in Sofia, Bulgaria, after taking off from Tel Aviv, citing a 'security alert' as the reason.
