President Trump said the ceasefire and memorandum of understanding with Iran are over, in remarks to reporters on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara on Wednesday, hours after the United States and Iran exchanged strikes. Asked whether the deal had collapsed after the latest attacks, Trump said, "I think it's over. I don't want to deal with them anymore." Trump accused Iran of negotiating in bad faith, saying its leaders agreed to terms privately and then denied them publicly. "They're liars," he said, and called the Iranians "scum." He said that if Iran obtained a nuclear weapon, "they'd use it," and that "as far as I'm concerned, it's over." Trump said U.S. negotiators could keep talking to their Iranian counterparts but that he expected it to go nowhere. "They can talk, but I think they're wasting their time," he said. The remarks came hours after the U.S. military struck Iranian targets in response to attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, and after Iran retaliated with missile and drone attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait.

An Israeli delegation met overnight with Venezuelan interim President Delcy Rodríguez and presented a national plan to rehabilitate areas devastated by last month's earthquake, developed together with Venezuela's infrastructure ministry, Ynet reported. The delegation, which includes engineers and representatives of the IDF Home Front Command, laid out a long-term plan that involves sorting roughly 1,300 buildings for rehabilitation or demolition, tearing down hazardous structures, clearing large volumes of debris, and preparing the cleared areas for new construction. The mission follows the twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24, the country's worst disaster in more than a century, and comes despite the absence of diplomatic relations between the two countries since 2009. Venezuelan authorities put the death toll at 3,685, with 16,740 people injured.

Israeli troops killed a Hezbollah gunman who opened fire on them during a search operation in the southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil on Tuesday, the IDF said. A military dog from the Oketz canine unit was killed in the exchange, and the dog's handler, a female combat soldier operating with the reservists, returned fire and killed the gunman. No soldiers were injured. The troops, from the 679th Yiftah Armored Brigade, were searching a building where a Hezbollah operative had opened fire the previous Thursday and seriously wounded a reservist, the military said. The IDF said it would continue operating to remove threats to its forces and to prevent Hezbollah from harming Israeli civilians.

Iran is carrying out a missile and drone attack on Bahrain and Kuwait, and both Gulf states say their air defenses are responding to the incoming fire. The General Staff of the Kuwaiti Armed Forces said its air defenses are engaging hostile missile and drone threats and that any explosions heard are the result of interceptions, urging the public to follow official safety instructions. Bahrain's Interior Ministry activated warning sirens and told citizens and residents to move to the nearest safe location and follow official channels. Barak Ravid of Axios, citing a U.S. official, reported that Iran had launched drones against Bahrain. Iran's Revolutionary Guards, in a statement carried by the state-linked Fars agency, said the operation is targeting the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Manama and the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, and claimed it had struck 85 targets. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards cast the attack as retaliation for U.S. strikes on Iranian coastal sites.
