🇺🇸🇮🇷 - Satellite imagery confirms strikes on the Shahid Mirzai Tunnel (27.5829570, 56.2498850), with imagery showing extensive damage.

Iranian outlet Tasnim News has confirmed that traffic through the tunnel has been suspended in both directions. The disruption poses a major logistical nightmare for Bandar Abbas, as the tunnel lies along Route 71, the principal connection between the port city and central Iran.

With the tunnel out of service, traffic is therefore being forced onto the far longer Route 91 via Kahnuj or Route 94 via Heydarabad. Establishing temporary bypass routes near the tunnel cannot be considered feasible given the local terrain.

🇺🇸🇸🇦⚡- "The Trump administration has tentatively agreed to allow Saudi Arabia to enrich uranium without enacting international safeguards (the Additional Protocol) intended to prevent nuclear weapons development.

The deal could potentially provide Saudi Arabia with a path to nuclear weapons unless the 'Additional Protocol' safeguards are put in place.

The agreement has not yet been sent to Congress," - CNN.

Note, Saudi Arabia has repeatedly stated that it would seek nuclear weapons if Iran acquired them, while also remaining a strong critic of Israel's nuclear arsenal.

Note, a civilian nuclear program was a key incentive in American efforts to bring Saudi Arabia into the Abraham Accords. Riyadh now appears poised to secure that without formally joining the Trump-mediated framework.

Note, Israel has long opposed a Saudi civilian nuclear program, especially one without it tied to the Abraham Accords.
