17:36⇢Trump blocks Khamenei assassination
⌨Russian outlets report Israel claimed destroying Iran's nuclear reactor necessary for weapons production, with Netanyahu announcing the strike as part of escalating exchanges that killed at least 128 people (Izvestia, NTV.ru, Vesti). Trump reportedly vetoed Israeli plans to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei, while Iran's Foreign Ministry offered to halt strikes if Israel reciprocates (The Moscow Times, RBC.ru, Interfax.ru). Ukrainian drone attacks reached deeper into Russian territory, striking Tatarstan and prompting officials to declare growing anger over the escalation, with investigators opening terrorism cases (Lenta.ru, Kommersant, Rossiyskaya Gazeta). Russian forces claimed capturing the Novoderzhinskaya mine in the Dzerzhinsk direction as ground operations continue (TASS).
