Iran’s military announced that its forces have benefited from the ceasefire by importing equipment and rearming.

This comes just hours after US President Donald Trump declared a halt to strikes against Iran in an effort to reopen negotiations between Tehran and Washington.

The Iranian military has blamed the United States for planning to ignite a full-scale regional war, accusing Washington of seeking to impose its dominance.

While Iran claims it is capable of engaging in a broader confrontation with the United States, the reality on the ground shows that its military and defensive capabilities have been clearly affected by successive US strikes.

The Strait of Hormuz remains a central issue in US-Iran negotiations, with the United States aiming to ensure safe passage through the waterway, while Iran insists on controlling transit and imposing fees on passing ships.
