According to a report by NBC News, Iran is taking advantage of the ongoing ceasefire to recover weapons hidden underground or lost due to previous U.S. and Israeli strikes. This effort is part of a broader strategy to quickly rebuild its drone and missile capabilities in anticipation of potential renewed military actions from the U.S. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth indicated that Washington is closely monitoring Iran's military movements, stating, "We know what military assets you are moving and where you are moving them to." Despite U.S. assertions that Iran's military has been significantly weakened, intelligence assessments suggest that Iran retains considerable capabilities, including a substantial portion of its ballistic missiles and naval assets. Iran has also attempted to revive diplomatic negotiations, sending a new proposal to the U.S. via Pakistan, although President Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the offer. Meanwhile, Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz continues to exert pressure on global oil supplies, prompting the U.S. to implement a counter-blockade on Iranian ports, which may lead to prolonged tensions and rising oil prices.
