Following his meeting with President Donald Trump, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continued a series of high-level meetings in Washington. He held one-on-one talks with Vice President JD Vance at Blair House before later meeting with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Netanyahu also met with Senator Tom Cotton, thanking him for his steadfast support of Israel and calling him "a great friend of Israel" and a champion of the U.S.-Israel alliance. Cotton said Israel has stood "shoulder to shoulder" with the United States against Iran and terrorism and reaffirmed his commitment to supporting the alliance.

Because it's our turn to hit them," US President Donald Trump said after Iran's overnight missile attack targeting US forces in Jordan, adding that Tehran "knows it's coming" and is asking Washington not to strike.

He also confirmed he had been briefed on the reported drone strike targeting tankers off Egypt's coast, while leaving the door open to diplomacy, saying, "We'll see if we get there with an agreement at some point" with Iran.
