U.S. President Donald Trump:
"If Iran surrenders, admits their Navy is gone and resting at the bottom of the sea, and their Air Force is no longer with us, and if their entire Military walks out of Tehran, weapons dropped and hands held high, each shouting “I surrender, I surrender” while wildly waving the representative White Flag, and if their entire remaining Leadership signs all necessary “Documents of Surrender,” and admit their defeat to the great power and force of the magnificent U.S.A., The Failing New York Times, The China Street Journal (WSJ!), Corrupt and now Irrelevant CNN, and all other members of the Fake News Media, will headline that Iran had a Masterful and Brilliant Victory over The United States of America, it wasn’t even close. The Dumacrats and Media have totally lost their way. They have gone absolutely CRAZY!!! President DJT."

Explosion reported on cargo vessel near Iraq
An explosion on a cargo ship about 40 nautical miles (74km) southeast of Umm Qasr, a port city in southern Iraq, was due to a drone attack, according to Iraqi security officials.
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations reported the ship was hit by an unknown projectile in the Arabian Gulf.
The explosion caused a fire that was eventually brought under control. No casualties were reported, according to Iraqi security officials.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Israel's Channel 11:
Washington intervened specifically to prevent a strike that would have collapsed tomorrow's Israeli-Lebanese talks in Washington before they started.
The ceasefire was the price of keeping the diplomatic track alive for 24 more hours.
At the same time the US is preparing to sanction Nabih Berri, the Parliament Speaker who delivered Hezbollah's ceasefire acceptance to Washington tonight through official Lebanese channels.
Mario Nawfal@MarioNawfal
🇺🇸 BREAKING Trump posted it directly: He had a productive call with Netanyahu, no troops going to Beirut, any already moving turned back, and through highly placed representatives he reached Hezbollah. All shooting stops, mutual non-attack agreement in place. That's a ceasefire, announced by the US President on social media, at the end of the most escalatory day the Lebanon front has seen in months. How long does it last?
