"Iran says Iranian Intelligence Minister Esmaeil Khatib has been 'eliminated.' Iran's president later confirmed Khatib's death. Israel launches more strikes on Beirut, killing at least 12 people.

Iran launches missiles with multiple warheads at Israel in retaliation for the killing of security chief Ali Larijani."
"NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said alliance members are currently discussing 'the best way' to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. 'We all agree, of course, that trade has to open up again,' Rutte told reporters during a visit to Norway. 'What I know is that allies are working together, discussing how to do that.' NATO allies are 'working on that collectively' in a bid to 'find a way forward.'"
