- Alongside France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom, Canada issued a joint statement on Monday warning that a significant Israeli ground offensive in Lebanon could lead to "devastating humanitarian consequences."
- Warning that NATO faces a "very bad future" if allies refuse to act, President Donald Trump called last week for assistance in reopening the Strait of Hormuz, blocked by Iran since the war began.
- NATO has deployed additional Patriot missile defense systems on Turkish territory to intercept Iranian missiles, while Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stated Turkey's priority is remaining outside the conflict.
