Group of Seven foreign ministers have warned of new sanctions against Iran for its drone and missile attack on Israel. They also urged both sides to avoid an escalation of the conflict. An apparent Israeli drone attack on Iran early Friday saw troops fire air defenses at a major air base and a nuclear site near the central city of Isfahan. It came days after Tehran’s unprecedented drone-and-missile assault on Israel. Israel also carried out a missile strike targeting an air defense unit in southern Syria that caused material damage according to the state-run SANA news agency. Israel had vowed to respond to Iran’s unprecedented weekend attack. Allies have urged Israel to hold back on any response to the attack that could spiral.

The Pentagon could get weapons moving to Ukraine quickly if Congress passes a long-delayed aid bill because it has a network of storage sites in the U.S. and Europe. Those sites already hold some of the munitions and air defense components Kyiv desperately needs. Supplies from both could be sent within days if Congress passes an aid bill President Joe Biden has said he'll sign. House Speaker Republican Mike Johnson is pushing for a weekend vote even though it could cost his job. CIA Director Bill Burns warned Thursday that without additional aid from the U.S., Ukraine could lose the war to Russia by the end of this year.

Speaker Mike Johnson has unveiled a long-awaited package of bills that will provide military aid to Ukraine and Israel, replenish U.S. weapons systems and give humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza. The package totals $95.3 billion in spending, which matches what the Senate passed in mid-February. But there are a few differences designed to win over some House conservatives. The main distinction is that the House bill provides more than $9 billion in economic assistance to Ukraine in the form of “forgivable loans.” The Senate bill included no such provision seeking repayment.
