On the 12th the IRGC public relations office said Iran struck a second "unauthorized vessel" in the Strait of Hormuz and forced it to stop, saying the action was in response to continued US strikes on Iranian coastal military bases. The statement said that in a second-stage reprisal Iran used ballistic missiles to strike the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, targeting the base's fighter maintenance support center and its command-and-control center.

The New York Times reported on the 11th that reporters who contributed to its story on safety defects in President Trump’s newly refurbished presidential plane were served subpoenas. Federal law enforcement officers reportedly went to the reporters’ homes on the 10th to deliver subpoenas requiring them to testify before a Manhattan federal grand jury on the 15th about possible violations of federal criminal law. The plane, donated by Qatar and recently refitted, carried Trump to this month’s NATO summit in Turkey; on the 8th he initially flew on the older Air Force One to RAF Mildenhall before switching to the new aircraft for the return. The Times, citing unnamed sources, said the switch was made at the request of the U.S. Secret Service because the new plane lacked some security features of the older aircraft.
