A notable shift has taken place, with former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi adding her voice to the Democrats who want to halt weapons transfers to Israel. So far, it has mostly been the most progressive wing of the party; Pelosi's addition is significant and provides cover for other more moderate Democrats to do the same, if they wish.

Israel has fired two people and reprimanded a further three for their alleged role in the trio of drone strikes that destroyed the World Central Kitchen convoy. The World Central Kitchen has not expressed their satisfaction with this, and are demanding that an impartial international investigation be carried out.

The latest rumor is that Iran will conduct their retaliatory actions by the end of Ramadan, which ends in a few days. The United States is reportedly not moving their assets in the Middle East, as both the United States and Iran have conveyed to each other that they don't want to rope the other into a conflict. There have been some rumors that Iran is planning an embassy attack to mirror the one that Israel carried out. The country most likely to experience such a hypothetical attack is Jordan, but there are other viable countries for Iran to target. And they may also of course decide to target Israel itself directly.
