Iranian foreign minister Araghchi said Iran visits Najaf in Iraq once a year to draw strength before departing.

Israel's Channel 12 cites sources saying that, despite a statement from Trump, the Israel Defense Forces remained on high alert today, saying Iran may carry out unexpected actions.

Israel told the White House it has serious security concerns about a Hamas disarmament agreement. The Israeli prime minister’s office said intelligence assessments indicate Hamas plans to rebuild military capabilities rather than genuinely demilitarize. Israel said it will not withdraw from most of Gaza until Hamas completes disarmament. Hamas said it will begin disarming under Trump’s 20-point ceasefire plan, which calls for surrendering weapons and destroying tunnels and envisages Israeli withdrawal, a new technocratic Palestinian government and international security forces. A large-scale Israeli troop pullback before October elections is unlikely.
