At 1000 CST on the 9th China's Central Meteorological Observatory upgraded its typhoon alert to red for Typhoon No.13 Baihaitun (White Dolphin). The center was at 27.9°N, 122.9°E — about 215 km east of Wenzhou in the southern East China Sea — with maximum winds near the center of 45 m/s (equivalent to 14 on the Chinese scale) and central pressure 950 hPa. Wind radii: 7-level 300–450 km, 10-level 200–250 km, 12-level 100 km. Baihaitun is moving westward at 20–25 km/h with little change in intensity forecast and is expected to make landfall along the coast between Zhoushan (Zhejiang) and Fuding (Fujian) between the evening of the 9th and early hours of the 10th, with landfall winds of 38–45 m/s (13–14); the storm should move west‑northwest inland and gradually weaken after landfall.

Sources said Dan Kane, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, has privately told senior Trump advisers in recent weeks the US needs to find a way out of a war with Iran because military options on the table could backfire and airpower alone is unlikely to achieve Trump’s objectives. Three people familiar with the matter said Kane discussed escalation options and potential exit paths with senior officials including Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Rubio and CIA Director Ratcliffe, and met with like-minded Trump advisers to build consensus before briefing the president. In a recent meeting with Trump, Kane flagged concern about shrinking US munitions stocks and discussed possible escalation options.
