US President Donald Trump says on Truth Social posts that any nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia is conditional on it joining the Abraham Accords and that he will hold Iran accountable for any Houthi attacks. 
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, speaking on the sidelines of the ASEAN conference in Manila, says Iran is “begging for a deal” and “they need to come to their senses,” adding that Tehran will “pay a very heavy price for the things they are doing”. 
The US bombs Iran for the 12th consecutive night, killing at least two people and wounding 11 others in an attack on the Shalamcheh border crossing with Iraq. 
Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait have reported retaliatory missile and drone attacks from Iran. 
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says a tanker is ablaze in the Strait of Hormuz, while Yemen’s Houthis also claim missile and drone strikes on two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea.
