- On Wednesday, thousands of Iranians in the port town of Sirik lost access to drinking water after United States strikes hit two reservoirs, Iranian state media reported.

- Strikes damaged reservoirs supplying the Bemani and Kouhestak areas, and Abdolhamid Hamzehpour, a senior water company official in Hormozgan, reported efforts were under way to find alternatives for affected villages.
- In response, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched long-range missiles at four locations within the US Azraq base in Jordan, describing the operation as retaliatory.
