In Washington, on that same day, meetings were held with Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Benjamin Netanyahu — after the meeting, Zelenskyy spoke about a promise of licenses for manufacturing interceptors for Patriot systems. Simultaneously, according to American and Iranian sources, Iran's Revolutionary Guards fired ballistic missiles at American forces in Jordan, and the USA and Saudi Arabia subsequently responded with strikes on pro-Iranian militias in Iraq, and Tehran claims to have hit three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz — this claim was not independently verified. On that same day, the U.S. Senate advanced, by a procedural vote of 86:12, a sanctions bill against Russia and Iran that Senator Lindsey Graham had promoted before his death. Adding to this was a strong earthquake in Japan with a growing death toll and a wave of heat and fires in Western Europe. In the afternoon, it was added: BMW is cutting 8,000 jobs, Russia issued an international arrest warrant for Telegram founder Pavel Durov, and in Poland, Mateusz Morawiecki, despite Kaczyński's opposition, founded his own parliamentary club "Rozwój Plus".
