Iran continued using an IRGC-linked Boeing 747 (EP-FAB, Qeshm Fars Air) for at least seven confirmed weapons missions to Port Sudan, despite previous exposure.

Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters of the IRGC claims that Israel has violated the southern Lebanon ceasefire 84 times in two days since President Trump declared the war over. The command warned that continued Israeli strikes will result in a "harsh" response from Iran’s armed forces.
UKMTO reports that a tanker 111 nautical miles southeast of Aden, Yemen, was attacked by a small skiff carrying four armed individuals linked to the IRGC, who opened fire using an RPG.
Mehr News has released a short version of the 14-clauses Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that will be signed on Friday between Iran and the United States, including a permanent halt of war on all fronts, lifting of naval blockade, and suspension of oil sanctions.
