09:21 Iran has attacked two oil tankers in the Persian Gulf and a major oil field in Iraq.
Two oil tankers were attacked in the Persian Gulf near the Iraqi port of Basra. They were severely damaged and caught fire. As a result, 38 crew members of the tankers were rescued, at least one person was killed. Iran later claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it hit the ships with underwater drones. Iraq's ports suspended operations after the incident.
A spokesman for Iraq's Joint Operations Command called the attack a violation of sovereignty and said it was right to retaliate. In addition, Iranian drones attacked a major oil field in Iraq, Majnoon. It is near the border with Iran.
08:57 US President Donald Trump said the war against Iran has effectively already been won, and now it is only a question of when exactly the fighting will end.
"I think we're in very good shape - the main thing is we have to win this thing, win it quickly, but win it," Trump said. He said many commentators already consider the conflict to be over and the only question now is when the U.S. will stop the operation. The American president also said he did not want to allow the threat from Iran to resume. He suggested that the country must have a new leadership capable of rebuilding the state.

Following the attack, sirens sounded in Haifa, as well as throughout the Galilee and the Golan Heights. It was the largest Hezbollah attack on Israel since fighting intensified in early March.
