Ukrainian attack drones struck another dozen Russian oil/fuel tankers off Crimea overnight.
The Russian Navy has so far been incapable of stopping the attacks at sea, with nearly 40 vessels hit in the last 96 hours.
Iranian state TV is now also reporting (like Tasnim did earlier) that the Governor of Konarak County says a navy military area in Konarak was attacked twice by enemy fighter jets tonight
Amidst ongoing high-tempo reciprocal U.S.-Iran strikes in the Middle East, President Donald J. Trump is set to receive an intelligence briefing at 1:00 pm ET today. This, as U.S. officials told Axios yesterday that decision-makers are preparing for a prolonged period of reciprocal strikes with Iran that could last days to weeks.
Since the start of the Iran War, a total of 30 U.S. Air Force MQ-9 Reapers have been downed by Iranian air defenses at a cost of $30 million each, a U.S. official tells ABC News, with the most recent one reportedly being downed early Wednesday.
The IRGC has announced that in what they call the “first stage” of Iranian strikes on their Gulf neighbors and U.S, bases and infrastructure, they targeted two U.S. bases in Kuwait, including Ali Salem Airbase, and U.S. bases in Bahrain.
According to The New York Times, President Donald J. Trump departed Turkey aboard the older VC-25A Air Force One at the recommendation of the U.S. Secret Service following the resumption of hostilities with Iran, despite arriving on the new VC-25B "Bridge" aircraft.
The report states the decision was a precautionary measure—not the result of a specific threat—and has renewed questions about whether the expedited conversion of the VC-25B included the full suite of defensive systems and hardening found on the legacy VC-25A fleet. The White House maintains the aircraft meets all required security standards.

The United States’ ceasefire with Iran “has at least temporarily ceased,” a U.S. official has told CNN’s Pamela Brown, who is currently aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) in the Arabian Sea.
This is the deepest strike into Iran that we have seen since the start of the ceasefire, with almost all of these tit-for-tat strikes by the U.S. taking place near the Iranian coast. Iranshahr is over 100 miles from the coast, with this likely being a clear message towards Iran.
Here's the current military air picture over the Middle East as U.S. forces continue what the Pentagon has described as self-defense strikes against Iranian targets following Tehran's attacks on commercial shipping and U.S. interests and regional partners.
Currently visible are 10 U.S. Air Force aerial refueling aircraft (4 KC-135 Stratotankers and 6 KC-46A Pegasus) along with a U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry airborne early warning and control aircraft.
