Throughout the afternoon and evening, editors tracked Trump's threats of further strikes, including on civilian infrastructure and Kharg Island, as the US launched new attacks. The Graham Platner scandal continued to unfold, with Maine Democrats moving to replace him amid sexual assault allegations, culminating in Platner suspending his Senate campaign late at night. The E.
