  • Hillary Clinton said that she felt "regret" for saying that "half" of Donald Trump's supporters could be described as "deplorables" because they held racist, sexist, homophobic, or Islamophobic beliefs.
    • Trump later called on Clinton to apologize for the remarks, saying, “The disdain that Hillary Clinton expressed toward millions of Americans disqualifies her from public service. You cannot run for president if you have such contempt in your heart for the American voter. You can't lead this nation if you have such a low opinion of its citizens. … Hillary Clinton has not apologized to those she slandered. In fact, she hasn't backed down at all. If Hillary Clinton will not retract her comments in full, I don't see how she can credibly campaign any further.”
    • The Trump campaign also released an ad titled “Deplorables” targeting Clinton’s comments. In the ad, which shows images from the Republican National Convention, a narrator says that Clinton called “People like you, you, and you deplorable. … You know what's deplorable? Hillary Clinton viciously demonizing hard-working people like you.” The ad is running in Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Florida.
  • Two U.S. Navy surveillance aircraft—a P-8 Poseidon and an EP-3 Eries—”were flying a reconnaissance mission 13 miles off the coast of Iran, through the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman” when Iranian military officials told the aircraft that they were too close to Iranian airspace and needed to leave, according to Fox News. Commander Bill Urban, a spokesman for U.S. Naval Forces Central Command in Bahrain, said that Iranian officials said, “We will fire Iranian missile.” According to The Wall Street Journal, “State Department officials decried the incident, saying it showed Iran had yet to show signs of shifting from its aggressive stance in the region even after the international nuclear agreement reached last year.” Mark Toner, a State Department spokesman, said, “Frankly, there’ve been previous incidents much like this, and they’re concerning, obviously. They escalate tensions. We have conveyed our concerns to Iran.”
