Yemeni Houthis confirmed they carried out an attack on Israel with ballistic rockets, officially entering the war between Iran and the US. According to their statements, operations will continue until "aggression on all fronts" ceases.

Israeli air defense successfully intercepted the ballistic projectile launched from Yemen - the first such incident since the Iranian war began four weeks ago. No casualties were reported.

Meanwhile, twelve American soldiers were injured in an Iranian attack on the Prince Sultan air base in Saudi Arabia, two of whom are in critical condition. Iran claims it destroyed an American KC-135 transport aircraft, but this information has not been confirmed.

US President Donald Trump stated that Iran "is no longer a threat" and demanded the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, calling it "Trump's Strait." He claims Iran's military has been "decimated" and that Iran's supreme leader "is no longer supreme."

The Thai prime minister announced a deal with Iran guaranteeing safe passage for Thai oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz.

American intelligence admitted it managed to destroy only about one third of Iran's massive rocket arsenal, confirming that Tehran still possesses significant firepower.
