According to Odaily, Trump is considering resuming military action against Iran. Iran has set conditions for nuclear talks with the US, including the unfreezing of assets and recognition of its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. Currently, the US Secretary of Defense has stated that the ceasefire agreement with Iran remains in effect. The US plans to circumvent the issue of war authorization deadlines through renaming. The US has offered a $15 million bounty to disrupt the financial network of Iran's Revolutionary Guard. The US Department of Defense stated that the cost of the war with Iran has risen to approximately $29 billion and may increase further.
On the Iranian side, Iran has filed a lawsuit with an international arbitration body regarding the US actions during the "12-Day War." The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has conducted military exercises in Tehran Province. The latest assessment indicates that 30 of Iran's 33 missile positions along the Strait of Hormuz remain operational. The UK will deploy drones, fighter jets, and warships to participate in operations in the Strait of Hormuz. The US military has rerouted 65 commercial vessels and rendered four ships inoperable.
