Trump stated that the U.S. might again "heavily strike" Iran, saying he was once just one hour away from issuing the order; Iran says it is prepared to respond to any military aggression.

Trump stated that it remains uncertain whether a strike will occur, giving Iran 'a limited amount of time'—roughly two to three days, possibly extending into early next week—to reach an agreement. Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister said surrender holds no meaning for Tehran; they will either prevail or become martyrs. Iranian military officials added that if adversaries miscalculate again and launch another attack, Iran will open new fronts using new tools and methods.
