Donald Trump highlights ongoing negotiations with Iran as a last chance, while a US-Ukraine Patriot missile deal faces delays and drone strikes hit Russian facilities.

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that diplomatic negotiations with Tehran are ongoing, describing the discussions as Iran's "last chance" to seal a long-term agreement. Trump noted that regional partners, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, support the talks, while warning that American military options remain prepared if diplomacy fails.

Concurrently, U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker confirmed that Washington and Kyiv are unlikely to conclude a joint Patriot missile interceptor production agreement before winter, though broader air defense collaboration continues.

In Russia, Ukrainian drone strikes hit e-commerce firm Wildberries facilities across the Moscow, Tver, and Saint Petersburg regions, killing at least five people and injuring ten others near the capital.
