Military Recovery

Iran’s Supreme Leader has ordered that the country’s near-weapons-grade enriched uranium stockpile must remain in Iran, directly countering a key US and Israeli demand for any peace deal. Meanwhile, US intelligence assesses that Iran is rebuilding its military capabilities—including drone production—faster than expected during the ceasefire. In southern Lebanon, Hezbollah continued attacks on Israeli forces with drones and missiles, while Israel deported all foreign activists from the intercepted Gaza flotilla amid international condemnation of a video showing National Security Minister Ben-Gvir taunting detainees.
