U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that a resumption of war with Tehran is "highly unlikely" and the conflict is "effectively over," provided progress is made on Iran's nuclear program and safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking at the White House, Trump added that regional allies favor a diplomatic solution, though he asserted that the United States remains "ready to strike Iran at any moment" if necessary.

Despite signals of de-escalation, regional friction continues. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard reported three oil tanker fires in the Strait of Hormuz, while Iranian state media noted unconfirmed explosions near Qeshm Island, suggesting they were not caused by American strikes. Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that Israel’s objectives regarding Tehran remain unfinished.

Repair crews in Ukraine are working to restore power to hundreds of thousands of residents after a second consecutive night of Russian missile and drone strikes targeted critical energy infrastructure across eastern regions.

According to Ukrainian authorities and energy operator DTEK, significant damage left over 600,000 people without electricity in the Dnipropetrovsk region and approximately 250,000 in Kharkiv. The widespread disruption has renewed fears of prolonged power, heating, and water outages as winter temperatures decline. Additionally, the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant was forced to rely on emergency diesel generators to cool its reactors after losing connection to its primary external power supply.

Russia’s Ministry of Defence confirmed launching strikes against Ukrainian energy facilities and a commercial container ship. Emergency teams continue work to stabilize electrical networks.

Delegates from Russia, Ukraine, and the United States gathered in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday for their first trilateral negotiations since February aimed at ending the nearly five-year conflict.

Discussions are set to focus heavily on establishing security guarantees for both warring nations, alongside broader European security arrangements. Ahead of the summit, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy firmly rejected yielding the Donbas region in an interview with Danish broadcaster DR, warning that Russian President Vladimir Putin would view any territorial concessions as an invitation to "move in immediately and occupy us."

Zelenskyy's public refusal contrasts with statements from U.S. officials indicating that negotiators have privately demonstrated "a little bit of flexibility" regarding postwar territorial control in eastern Ukraine.

Nvidia has launched an independent internal investigation into Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang after he acknowledged an extramarital affair with a woman suspected of spying for Chinese intelligence. The inquiry follows investigative reporting by major media outlets examining whether sensitive technology or national security details were compromised.

The controversy has severely shaken investor confidence, erasing over $350 billion from the artificial intelligence microchip giant's market valuation. Analysts emphasize the geopolitical sensitivity of the case, given Nvidia's dominant role in global AI hardware supply chains. While U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly backed Huang, the executive faces mounting pressure as regulators and corporate governance experts evaluate potential security risks.

U.S. President Donald Trump reflected on the Republican Party's midterm election losses in an interview with CBS's 60 Minutes, defending his administration's foreign policy regarding Iran while acknowledging policy missteps. Trump stated that economic communication was flawed and admitted that immigration enforcement was sometimes "too strict," noting he lost support because certain individuals were deported unnecessarily. He evaluated his border control efforts, stating, "I think I got an A plus for closing the border."

Trump attributed the election outcome primarily to his absence from the ballot. However, in subsequent public statements, he questioned the legitimacy of the results, citing early voting volumes and polling discrepancies. Administrative changes within his team followed shortly after the broadcast.
