President Trump announced he had cancelled planned strikes against Iran, stating he was holding off at the request of Iran and other Middle Eastern countries provided a deal was reached quickly, including the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz. The EU called emergency talks after more than 50,000 people entered Spain's North African territory of Ceuta from Morocco, with at least 67 people confirmed dead; Italy suspended its Schengen agreement with Spain for a month, and 22 EU member states issued a joint letter calling for coordinated action.
Russian authorities said a bomb blast at a restaurant in central Moscow killed three people and injured at least 20; a woman attempted to bring an improvised explosive device into the restaurant and was stopped by a security guard, at which point the blast occurred. Gaza's civil defence authorities reported at least eight Palestinians killed in overnight Israeli strikes, and Hamas said it had agreed to the latest stage of a deal to end the war, though Israel remained non-committal. The Commonwealth Games in Glasgow concluded with 15 gold medals on offer, with world record holder Josh Kerr winning gold for Scotland in the mile and Emma Finucane making history with a gold medal for Wales in track cycling.
