Akraminia noted that the U.S. has three possible options: withdrawing from the conflict, launching large-scale airstrikes under pressure from Israel, or carrying out ground operations. Iran will monitor the U.S.'s subsequent actions and has prepared for all eventualities. He also added that the current war’s geographic scope has expanded to the Strait of Mandeb, and Iran’s operations cover U.S. targets spanning from Jordan to countries along the Persian Gulf coast.

According to Israel’s i24 News, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the opening of a cabinet meeting: “I will depart for Washington tomorrow to meet with President Trump at his invitation, then attend the memorial service for Senator Lindsey Graham, a great friend of Israel, and discuss all agenda items with Trump—including the situation in Iran.” Regarding the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) vote to remove its chief prosecutor Karim Khan, Netanyahu said the result “exposes the fact that this individual is not only accused of sexually harassing multiple female subordinates” but also pushed for arrest warrants against Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Netanyahu alleged the prosecutor acted “to divert attention, rally all of Israel’s enemies around him, and secure a protective umbrella for himself.” He also spoke with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who stated the U.S. intends to take strong action against the ICC.
