In Iranian Retaliation, Mohsen Rezaei, military advisor to Mojtaba Khamenei, warned that if the naval blockade continues for a period beyond a certain time frame, then we will be the ones who will attack.

In US Military Role, the top US general overseeing forces in Latin America met senior Cuban military officials at the perimeter of the Guantanamo Bay naval base, discussing operational security matters, force protection, safety of service members and their families, and readiness, in what was described as the first such meeting in recent memory. General Francis Donovan also led a perimeter security assessment of the base and discussed protections with base officials. Separately, on May 29, at the direction of SOUTHCOM Commander General Francis Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a kinetic strike on a vessel operated by designated terrorist organizations in the Eastern Pacific. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting known narco-trafficking routes and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Three male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No US military forces were harmed. SOUTHCOM said it remains committed to applying total systemic friction on the cartels.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the United Arab Emirates conducted dozens of airstrikes against Iran with intelligence from the United States and Israel, including an attack on the Asaluyeh petrochemical complex, drawing international condemnation. The UAE coordinated with the US and Israel to strike targets in Iran after Iranian strikes on UAE energy infrastructure, including Qeshm and Abu-Musa islands, Bandar Abbas, and the Lavan Island oil refinery. Iran responded with more than 2,800 missiles and drones against the UAE. Four rockets were intercepted after sirens sounded overnight in Kiryat Shmona, and red alert sirens were heard in northern Israel.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, after a meeting, the White House said Trump will only back a deal that satisfies his red lines, reiterating the stance that Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon. The Times of Israel live blog noted that rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel, with most being intercepted and sirens blaring in northern communities as Israeli and Lebanese military delegations held productive talks in Washington, complemented by Pentagon discussions to inform the diplomatic track next week.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, three additional suspects were arrested in connection with the double murder of Olga and Ruslan Prikhodko, following the detention extension of the main suspect, a 17-year-old Lod resident, by the Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court. Relatives of the suspects were brought in for questioning, and West Bank residents were transferred to Shin Bet for interrogation to determine involvement. Investigators said the main suspect confessed to the suspicions attributed to him. Separately, Israel Police’s Traffic Division issued thousands of tickets in a nationwide crackdown on dangerous driving, with enforcement teams using digital tools to identify offenses such as distracted driving, cellphone use, and speeding. A driver with a revoked license was stopped, and another case involved a driver using a cellphone with a child not properly secured in the vehicle.
