Iran retains a firm grip on the Strait of Hormuz and continues to launch waves of missiles — at least three waves per day — at targets in the Persian Gulf and Israel.
Trump’s war of choice in Iran has derailed the planned summit with China, according to Politico. Contacts to prepare for the meeting were already underway, but they have now been completely suspended, with no new dates set.

His remarks sparked a wave of criticism on social media, particularly from Christians angered by the comparison between Jesus — whom they regard as God incarnate and the “Prince of Peace” — and Genghis Khan, founder of the 13th-century Mongol Empire whose armies ravaged Asia from China to the Mediterranean.

Netanyahu quickly pushed back on the backlash. He said he was citing the great American historian Will Durant, and that “a morally superior civilisation may still fall to a ruthless enemy if it does not have the power to defend itself. No offence was meant.” South China Morning Post
Critics were not satisfied. Palestinian Lutheran pastor Munther Isaac from Bethlehem said on X that the statement was “offensive on multiple levels” — that it “not only compares Jesus to Genghis Khan, but also suggests that the way of Jesus is naive, while a ruthless, ‘might makes right’ approach is what ultimately allows good to overcome evil.” CP24 He added that “Netanyahu, and his Christian Zionist supporters, are making a mockery of the ethics of Jesus.”
