After months of tensions and pressure from both the U.S. and Iran, Ali al-Zaidi, a businessman, was named as prime minister-designate.

The fighting continued while conditions for a possible cease-fire were debated.

The Israeli military said its campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon would intensify, while Iran threatened to attack civilian infrastructure if President Trump followed through with an ultimatum.

Five missiles struck the Baghdad International Airport and injured four people. Israeli and Iranian attacks continued as global economic concerns about the war mounted.

U.S. officials say the country’s weapons have been diminished, slowing its attacks on Gulf nations and Israel. Iran may also be holding some weapons in reserve in case the conflict is prolonged.

The selection of a son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a strike on his compound at the start of the war, could anger Iranians seeking change.
