U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran that current talks are its last chance, while NATO delayed a Patriot deal with Kyiv and Ukrainian drones hit Russian warehouses.

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that diplomatic talks with Iran are progressing rapidly, framing the negotiations as Tehran's "last chance" to avert severe military action. Although Trump ordered a temporary pause on military strikes, he warned that failure to reach a deal could prompt strikes unprecedented since World War II. Regional partners, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, support the ongoing mediation.

In Europe, U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker confirmed that a long-term joint production deal for Patriot interceptor missiles with Ukraine will not be finalized before winter. Nevertheless, broader air defense manufacturing with European allies remains active.

Concurrently, Ukrainian drone attacks struck Wildberries e-commerce warehouses in the Moscow, Tver, and Saint Petersburg regions. Russian authorities confirmed at least five fatalities and ten injuries near Moscow.
