Rubio rules out Iran strikes now
According to Axios, the U.S. State Department has informed allies that the United States does not currently anticipate carrying out new military strikes on Iran, and is instead focusing on sanctions and economic pressures. Officials clarified that American policy will remain this way, with the possibility of strikes if Iran acts first.

Additionally, the U.S. Treasury Department announced new sanctions targeting 60 individuals and entities, while excluding Chinese financial institutions suspected of engaging in Iranian oil trade.
