Iran's Mehr News Agency reports preliminary accounts of sounds of explosions in parts of Bushehr province.

President Zelenskiy said Ukraine is adjusting its political strategy and will assign experienced officials to lead priority foreign-policy areas including US relations and a Patriot manufacturing license, bilateral security cooperation, a European missile-defence project, EU accession, ties with neighbours (notably Poland and Hungary), Middle East/Gulf engagement and coordination with international actors that can help end the war. Domestically, Kyiv will boost frontline and border defenses, increase deliveries of weapons including multiple drone types and prioritise winter preparedness. Zelenskiy said state-owned enterprise reform and speedier implementation of reconstruction agreements will be accelerated. He signalled a personnel reshuffle, including a cabinet reorganisation, appointing Prime Minister Svyrydenko to oversee the new partner-focused portfolio and replacing heads of law-enforcement agencies.

Hassan Kashkavi, a member of Iran’s parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, told state Press TV on Sunday that Iran prefers to manage the Strait of Hormuz through cooperation with regional states, particularly Oman, and that "the clear official position is that future management of the Strait will be arranged by Iran." A former long‑time Foreign Ministry diplomat, he said UNCLOS permits coastal states in wartime to take measures to ensure safe maritime passage and protect their maritime security, and described recent US strikes linked to Hormuz disputes as violations of the UN Charter and infringements of national sovereignty.
