Trump issues a final warning to Iran during talks, while the US delays a Patriot missile deal with Ukraine and drone strikes hit Russian warehouses.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that negotiations with Iran are actively progressing, describing the talks as Tehran’s "last chance" to secure an agreement. Trump warned that failure could trigger unprecedented military action, despite recently ordering a temporary pause on strikes. Regional partners, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, are supporting the diplomatic effort.

Meanwhile, U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker confirmed that a Washington-Kyiv joint production agreement for Patriot interceptor missiles will not be concluded before this winter. However, joint air defense manufacturing with European partners remains ongoing.

Concurrently, Ukrainian drone strikes hit warehouses operated by e-commerce retailer Wildberries in the Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and Tver regions. Local officials reported at least five deaths and ten injuries following the attack near Moscow.
