🇺🇸🇮🇷🇵🇰⚡️- Tasnim News has released the Iranian delegation for the US-Iran talks.

It should be noted that the Iranian delegation includes:

- Abbas Araghachi, Foreign Minister, who is largely considered a reformist

- Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of the Parliament of Iran, a former IRGC commander who is hardline but seen as more pragmatic.

- Mohammed Bagher Zolghadr, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, who is considered one of the most hardline IRGC figures in the country.

The participation of Zolghadr indicates top IRGC commanders want direct representation during the meetings, unlike previous rounds of negotiation.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — U.S. intelligence indicates Iran still has thousands of ballistic missiles and could restore parts of its launch capability by recovering launchers from underground storage sites, despite repeated US/Israeli strikes throughout the war, according to WSJ, citing U.S. officials.

➡️ While more than half of Iran’s launchers are believed to have been destroyed, damaged, or trapped underground, U.S. officials assess that many could eventually be repaired or dug out.

➡️ Some in Washington are concerned Tehran could use the current pause in fighting to rebuild elements of its missile arsenal even as efforts continue to solidify the ceasefire and fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

🇮🇷🇺🇸⚡️ — NEW: Iran hasn't been able to open the Strait of Hormuz to more shipping traffic because it cannot locate all of the mines it laid in the waterway and lacks the capability to remove them, according to NYT, citing U.S. officials.

➡️ The "safe routes" announced by the IRGC are limited in large part because Iran mined the strait haphazardly, U.S. officials said.

➡️ The officials say it is unclear whether Iran accurately tracked the location of every mine it deployed in the Strait of Hormuz, and even when positions were recorded, some mines may have drifted or shifted over time.
