- President Trump abruptly canceled the planned visit of US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to Pakistan, while Iranian officials stated they had no intention of engaging in direct talks with the administration.
- Secretary Hegseth threatened that the US military will "shoot and kill" if Iranian boats disrupt passage through the Strait of Hormuz, adding the department stands "locked and loaded."
- Analyst But Sina Toossi of the Center for International Policy wrote that Trump "can't hide exuding desperation for a deal," inventing fractures in Tehran to explain the impasse as Araghchi travels to Oman and Russia.
