- Reportedly, Iran sent a proposal to the United States via Qatar, offering to transfer its uranium stockpile and reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if sanctions are lifted.
- Trump told reporters he would "rather not destroy the rest of the country" but warned it might be necessary, estimating Iran's rebuilding would take 25 years.
