Trump calls ongoing talks Iran's last chance for an agreement, while the U.S. delays a joint Patriot missile production deal with Ukraine and Ukrainian drones strike Russian targets.

U.S. President Donald Trump declared that ongoing diplomatic discussions with Iran represent the country's "last chance" to secure a comprehensive agreement. Trump stated that regional partners, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, support the talks, while warning that American military options remain prepared should negotiations break down.

Simultaneously, U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker stated that Washington and Kyiv are unlikely to finalize a co-production agreement for Patriot missile interceptors prior to this winter, although joint work on broader air defense equipment with Ukraine and European allies remains underway.

In Russia, Ukrainian drone strikes targeted facilities operated by e-commerce firm Wildberries in the Moscow, Tver, and Saint Petersburg regions. Regional officials reported at least five people killed and ten injured near Moscow.
