巴林駐聯合國代表：伊朗在簽署諒解備忘錄後立即恢復了攻擊。

Al Jazeera reports Qatar is leading mediation talks with Iran; the US State Department and the White House have declined to comment on the reported discussions. Qatar and Pakistan have previously acted as intermediaries during earlier spikes in US-Iran tensions. Trump, who has praised Qatar’s role in past mediation, has made no public comment on these talks in the 24 hours since returning from the NATO summit in Turkey, posting only a social-media announcement renaming Palm International Airport after himself.

Japan's finance minister Katayama said interest rates are expected to rise gradually as the government actively implements fiscal measures.
