- Trump warned that U.S. attacks could rise sharply if Iran sought to block tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, which handles one-fifth of the world's oil supply, and said the war could end well before his initial four-week time frame, though he has not defined victory.
- At least 1,332 Iranian civilians have been killed and thousands wounded since the U.S. and Israel launched air and missile strikes across Iran at the end of February, according to Iran's U.N. ambassador.
