The Israel Air Force struck targets in Tehran overnight on Saturday and Sunday, including weapon production and storage facilities, a drone engine production facility, and an air defense development facility. In western Iran, the IAF struck several armed forces headquarters, including a Basij complex in Daghlan and a police station in Sanandaj.

Hundreds of US Special Operations personnel have arrived in the Middle East, according to CBS News. These include Navy SEALs, Army commandos, marines, and paratroopers. They could be deployed to help open the Strait of Hormuz, or attack Kharg Island, Iran's key oil hub in the Gulf. They could also be used in an operation to seize Iran's highly enriched uranium at the Isfahan nuclear site.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has voiced optimism about a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. “Over time, the US is going to retake control of the strait, and there will be freedom of navigation — whether it is through US escorts or a multinational escort,” Bessent said.

Meanwhile, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced Friday that it had launched the 84th wave of Operation True Promise 4, targeting strategic sites in Israel and US bases in the region.
