- As the war entered its 10th day, Israel struck Tehran oil depots, sending up thick smoke and prompting alerts across Israel, while Iran announced a successor to its late supreme leader.
- The U.S. State Department said over 32,000 Americans have left the region, and Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the U.A.E. reported deaths, with travel disruptions at Dubai International Airport.
- Markets reacted as oil topped $100 a barrel, with the U.S. government seeking to assure Americans that the surge is a short-term problem while Russia profits.
