卡塔尔外交部：强烈谴责伊朗对约旦、巴林和科威特的反复袭击。此举公然侵犯了受袭国家的主权和领土完整，严重违反了国际法、《联合国宪章》以及睦邻友好原则。

On 18 July the Israeli military said the United States will send dozens of aerial refuelling tankers to land and be deployed at Israeli air force bases, not Ben Gurion International Airport, to minimise disruption to civilian air traffic. Israel had capped US tankers at Ben Gurion at 20 to ease interference during the summer travel peak. The military said the basing choice was made by the US in coordination with Israel to allow the air force to prepare.

Iranian sources said on the 18th local time that US military forces carried out three airstrikes in southern Hormozgan province. The Hormozgan communications authority said the strikes disrupted 116 telecom towers.
