沙特媒体哈达斯（Alhadath）：美国指责伊拉克“未能保障其公民在伊拉克的安全”，美国公民在伊拉克面临“暴力和绑架”的风险。

Iran's Foreign Ministry director of parliamentary and legal affairs Nourabadi said the US is trying to force a dichotomy between war and negotiations, sequencing the two to achieve its objectives.

The Financial Times reported that the developer of an Alaska LNG facility received financing from Russian energy firm Novatek PJSC, which is subject to U.S. sanctions. Former CEO Joel Riddle said Novatek funded the Polar Train LNG joint venture and guided its operations before obtaining necessary U.S. Treasury approvals; Riddle resigned last month and other executives have since left. Polar LNG said Friday Riddle was "a disgruntled former employee" and has been dismissed, adding that development activities "fully comply with applicable U.S. law." The company said it has applied to the U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) for a license to purchase an unfinished gravity-based structure from Novatek, part of the LNG facility.
