US delays Patriot deal with Ukraine as strikes hit Moscow and Trump warns Iran
Washington delays a key Patriot deal with Ukraine, while drone strikes target Moscow facilities and President Trump issues a final diplomatic warning to Tehran.
U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker stated that Washington and Kyiv are unlikely to finalize a long-term agreement on joint Patriot missile production before winter. However, broader air defense initiatives between Ukraine, the United States, and European partners remain ongoing.
Concurrently, Ukrainian drone strikes hit logistics hubs owned by the e-commerce firm Wildberries in the Moscow, Tver, and Saint Petersburg regions. Moscow Regional Governor Andrey Vorobyov confirmed at least five people were killed and ten injured in the attack near the capital.
In Washington, U.S. President Donald Trump warned Tehran that active diplomatic discussions represent Iran's "last chance" to secure a bargain. Trump noted that talks are progressing swiftly with regional backing from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, while maintaining that military forces remain prepared if diplomacy fails.
