Overnight attention stayed on Trump's Dallas remarks threatening a strike on Kuh-e Kolang Gazla near Isfahan and predicting the war would end right after the US midterms. By midday the IAEA chief confirmed satellite signs of construction at the underground site, giving the threat a concrete anchor.

Houthi forces' claimed seizure of Mokha port on the Red Sea then dominated both state and exile coverage, framed as a bid to control Bab el-Mandeb, with later reports of advances toward the Hanish islands.

Evening coverage shifted to New York, where the Security Council voted to put sanctions enforcement back on the agenda despite Russian and Chinese opposition, paired with CENTCOM's claim of diverting 96 ships for the blockade. Competing claims over a captured US submersible in Hormuz and damage to US aircraft in Jordan ran alongside, with Trump denying any damage.
