Iran launched its promised retaliation against American forces in the evening, firing missiles at the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar and facilities in Iraq. The attack concluded within hours with no American casualties, as Qatar's defense systems intercepted the incoming projectiles. Trump dismissed the response as "very weak" and revealed Iran had provided advance warning of the strikes.
Throughout the day, media reports questioned Trump's claims about "totally obliterating" Iranian nuclear facilities, with satellite imagery suggesting significant but incomplete damage. Multiple sources indicated Iran may have moved uranium stockpiles after receiving advance warning of the American strikes.
By late evening, Trump announced Israel and Iran had agreed to a "complete and total ceasefire" ending what he termed the "12 Day War." No confirmation emerged from either Israel or Iran. The Supreme Court separately handed Trump a victory on deportation policy, allowing removal of migrants to third countries.

Iran launched its longest missile barrage since the war began, firing waves of missiles at Israel for 35 minutes while simultaneously striking US bases in Qatar and Iraq.

Iranian media reported 200 munitions struck Tehran as Israeli forces hit Revolutionary Guard headquarters and state television buildings. The coordinated Iranian response targeted the Al-Udeid airbase in Qatar with 10 missiles, nine of which were intercepted.
Trump dismissed Iran's retaliation as "very weak" and thanked Tehran for advance warning. By evening, he announced Israel and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire beginning at 7 AM, though Iranian officials immediately denied the agreement. The announcement came after Iran signaled willingness to return to diplomatic negotiations.

German outlets questioned Trump's claimed success after reports emerged of 400 kilograms of uranium missing from Iranian facilities, suggesting the nuclear program remained partially intact. Iran's response escalated throughout the day, beginning with threats to block the Strait of Hormuz and culminating in evening missile strikes against US bases in Qatar and Iraq.
The Iranian retaliation proved symbolic rather than devastating. Qatar intercepted all incoming rockets, and the Pentagon reported no American casualties. Tehran had provided advance warning, indicating calculated restraint rather than genuine escalation.
Trump's response marked a dramatic shift from his previous rhetoric. By evening, he thanked Iran for the warning and called for "peace and harmony," dismissing the attack as "very weak." Before midnight, he announced a "complete and total ceasefire" between Israel and Iran, though neither side immediately confirmed the agreement. German media portrayed the sequence as Iran's exit strategy rather than defiance.

Iran executed "Operation Glad Tidings of Victory," striking the U.S. Al Udeid airbase in Qatar and additional American bases in Iraq using ballistic missiles. This represented Iran's retaliation for yesterday's American strikes on its Fordow nuclear facility using B-2 bombers. Qatar closed its airspace and announced it reserves the right to respond to the Iranian attack on its territory.
The escalation prompted Trump to thank Iran for advance notification of the attack, before announcing a comprehensive ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel by evening. Palestinian media reported Iran deployed its first multi-warhead ballistic missile and threatened to activate sleeper cells inside the United States.
Gaza entered day 626 with the death toll reaching 55,998. Israeli forces continued targeting Palestinians waiting for aid distributions, killing 17 and raising total "victims of seeking sustenance" to 467. Qassam fighters reported killing three Israeli soldiers in eastern Jabalia.

Following Trump's overnight bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities, Tehran escalated with threats to kill 50,000 American soldiers and return them "in coffins." By morning, Iran's Supreme Leader had requested Putin's assistance at a Kremlin meeting, while Russia condemned Trump for opening "Pandora's box."

Trump initially dismissed Iran's retaliation as "very weak" and thanked Tehran for advance notice of the attacks.
In an unexpected reversal by late evening, Trump announced a "complete and total ceasefire" between Israel and Iran would begin within hours, claiming both sides had "fully agreed" to end hostilities.

Iran escalated beyond Israeli targets by launching missiles at the Al Udeid base in Qatar, America's largest military facility in the region. This followed Israel's morning strikes on Tehran that targeted the regime's security apparatus - hitting Evin Prison, Basij headquarters, and intelligence facilities rather than infrastructure.
Trump called for regime change early morning, questioning why it shouldn't occur if Iran's government cannot restore the country's greatness. Iran executed a second Israeli spy and announced parliament would suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The missile exchange intensified throughout the day, with Iran launching its twenty-first wave using multi-warhead Kheibar missiles against Israeli military positions. By evening, Iran struck the Qatar base in what it called "Operation Herald of Victory," matching the number of missiles to bombs America used against Iranian nuclear sites.
