U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. is "not looking to reach a deal on Iran" and also addressed the possibility of the Kurds joining the fighting: "I don't want them to go in," he said. Meanwhile, Trump's adviser and special envoy Steve Witkoff announced he conveyed a message to Russia asking it not to send Iran information on locations and any other assistance, amid reports that Moscow is helping Tehran with information on the locations of American targets and objectives in the Middle East.
