🇺🇸🇮🇷 The US is running out of targets for strikes on Iran, — Politico

- The Pentagon is running out of significant targets for strikes on Iran.

- The remaining objects are either insignificant or hidden in protected underground bunkers.

- The US risks resorting to a strategy of "constant pinpoint strikes without a clear result" — similar to Israel's tactic of "mowing the lawn".

- It will not be possible to deprive Tehran of its main trump card — control over energy flows.

CNN: According to the latest estimates from American intelligence, approximately half of Iran's missile installations are still intact, and thousands of attack drones-kamikazes remain in Iran's arsenal, despite daily bombings by the US and Israel over the past five weeks.

🇷🇺Lavrov - on the fact that the opening of the Strait of Hormuz will not happen until the cessation of hostilities:

All this is happening against the backdrop of statements coming from Washington, including from President Trump himself, that negotiations are ongoing. That the people with whom the Americans are communicating are much more reasonable, they hear, they react.
The Iranians do not deny the fact of contacts, although they say that these are not negotiations, but an exchange of positions, but nevertheless, this is already some kind of process. When President Trump says: "As soon as we end the hostilities - shipping in the Strait of Hormuz will immediately resume on a normal basis".

Well, so the problem is not that we just need to demand from Iran, but we need to stop the hostilities. And then the regime of the strait, which fully relies on the 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea, which in peacetime defines all the rules of navigation, will be restored. In wartime, it does not apply.

🇮🇷Iran continues to respond with strikes on the energy infrastructure of US allies:

A fire broke out at the Mina al-Ahmad refinery in Kuwait after a drone attack.

❗️❗️❗️An F-16 fighter jet just sent a distress signal over Saudi Arabia and then disabled its identification beacon. It appears to be one of the F-16CJs from the "Wild Weasels" squadron. The most well-known unit operating F-16s in this role is the 35th Fighter Wing, based at Misawa Air Base in Japan (specifically, the 13th and 14th Fighter Squadrons) and redeployed to the Middle East just before the first strikes on Iran. It's possible that the aircraft were on a routine mission to map out Iran's air defense system, but something went wrong.

This happened a few hours after attacks on the Mina Al Ahmadi oil refinery and a desalination plant in Kuwait. Habshan is the main gas collection and processing center in the UAE, supplying a significant portion of the country's domestic consumption."
