Israelis voted in a national election set to shape the country's next government, with the Iran war looming large over their decisions.
Iran's Houthi allies deny that they've lost ground to Yemen's Saudi-backed military, as oil prices ease despite the Middle East crisis erupting in a battle over control of another key waterway.
U.N.-commissioned rights experts say there are "reasonable grounds" to believe the U.S. committed war crimes with strikes that killed scores of Iranian civilians.
The alerts did not cite a specific threat, but called for Americans to "exercise heightened vigilance."
The Iran war has cost the U.S. military at least $33.4 billion — most of it on munitions — and not including hundreds of millions more spent by other agencies, the Pentagon says.
Iran has shrugged off President Trump's threat to hit the Islamic Republic with an "economic D-Day" as a "doubling down on failed policies."
Meanwhile, Israel is being condemned by Lebanese leaders for strikes in the south that killed at least 11 people, including children.
Tehran has asserted that the Strait of Hormuz is "under Iran's control and management" after President Trump said the U.S. might "keep it."
The United Arab Emirates' Abu Dhabi National Oil Company said one of its ships was targeted while transiting the strait.
The Pentagon watchdog released its report on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's use of Signal to share details about operations in Yemen.
The video, shared at a House Oversight hearing on what the military calls "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena," better known as UFOs, shows a missile striking an unidentified object and bouncing off of it off the coast of Yemen.
The messages were sent the same day Hegseth shared similar details in a separate Signal chat that inadvertently included The Atlantic's editor-in-chief.
President Trump's national security adviser has denied knowing the editor of The Atlantic after accidentally adding him to a sensitive group chat.
"Give it up, or there will be consequences," said White House National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, speaking about Iran's nuclear program.
President Trump said the U.S. would use "overwhelming lethal force" until Houthis cease shipping attacks.
The Israeli airstrikes were the first time Israel is known to have responded to repeated Houthi attacks throughout its nine-month war against Hamas.
Al-Masirah TV, a media outlet controlled by Houthi rebels in Yemen reported the airstrikes in the port city of Hodeidah.
The attacks come as the U.S. Navy faces the most intense combat it has seen since World War II in trying to counter the Houthi campaign.
It comes just two days after the Houthis shot down another U.S. military MQ-9 Reaper drone.
The Rubymar is the first vessel to be fully destroyed as part of their campaign over Israel's war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
This is the fourth round of joint coalition strikes to pressure the Houthis to stop attacking commercial shipping lanes in the Red Sea.
Saturday's incident marked the first observed Houthi use of an unmanned underwater vessel since attacks in the Red Sea region started in October, CENTCOM said.
The U.S. military plans to strike targets in Iraq and Syria, including Iranian personnel and facilities, in response to a drone attack that killed 3 U.S. troops.
As the U.S. strikes the Houthis and seizes more weapons from Iran bound for the Yemeni rebels, Qatar says focusing on the Red Sea attacks is "not treating the real issue."
Officials say more than 30 Palestinians, including young children, were killed in Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.
