Mike Baker: 以色列已经准备好对伊朗进行报复性打击，目标已经确定，时间可能在美国总统大选之前。虽然美国官员没有获得最终目标清单的详细信息，但白宫试图限制以色列的行动，而以色列则强调其国家安全利益。以色列的报复行动可能针对伊朗的能源基础设施，也可能仅限于军事目标，以避免对美国大选造成影响。美国向以色列提供了先进的防空系统以应对潜在的袭击。 与此同时，朝鲜向乌克兰派遣的军队出现逃兵事件，部分士兵在到达俄罗斯后不久就逃离了前线。这表明俄罗斯试图利用朝鲜军队来增强其在乌克兰战场上的力量的尝试已经遭遇挫折。乌克兰情报官员称，俄罗斯军队正在搜寻这些失踪的士兵。泽连斯基警告说，乌克兰现在实际上是在对抗两个国家，因为朝鲜已经向俄罗斯提供了弹药，现在又直接参与了战争。 中国在台湾海峡附近举行了大规模军事演习，出动飞机数量创纪录。这次演习是对台湾总统赖清德的回应，赖清德的亲独立言论受到了中国的谴责。中国军机越过了台湾海峡中线，对台湾东南部和西南部的海域进行了军事行动。中国海军和海警船也参与了此次军事演习，对台湾形成了包围之势。台湾谴责中国的军事行动，美国五角大楼称中国的行动是“不负责任的、不成比例的和破坏稳定的”。台湾司法部还揭露了来自境外黑客组织的虚假信息宣传活动。习近平对军事演习没有发表评论，但他的访问强调了这些演习的重要性，重申了他政府将台湾纳入中国控制的优先事项。
