Iran Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei said communication channels with the US are political rather than military.

On the 30th (local time), Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said on social media he inspected the "security zone" in southern Lebanon with Defense Minister Katz and IDF Deputy Chief of Staff Tamir. He reiterated that Israeli forces will maintain a long-term presence in the area so long as Hezbollah continues to pose a threat. Speaking at the front, Netanyahu said: "As long as Hezbollah remains here and poses a threat to us, we will remain here." He ordered the IDF to undertake immediate, targeted military action upon any detected security threat.

Daiwa Capital analyst SK Kim said Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix’s announced investment plans are unlikely to materially affect global memory-chip supply-demand over the next 3–5 years because project rollouts will take time. Kim expects much of the planned capex — including roughly 800 trillion won tied to a new fab in southwest Korea — will be spent after 2030. He added both firms may adjust investments flexibly to market conditions while pressing ahead with US fabrication projects already under construction.
