The White House is utilizing the ongoing ceasefire between the US and Iran to claim the 60-day deadline for Congressional approval of military action, as mandated by the War Powers Act, is paused. Iran has submitted a revised proposal to Pakistan for mediating an end to the conflict, excluding the nuclear issue focusing solely on ending the war. Iran's economy is struggling due to the conflict and a US blockade, but it appears to be surviving the standoff. Despite the economic strain, internal divisions within Iran's leadership are visible, with varying views on how to proceed. Alternative trade routes, like those through the Caspian Sea, are being explored, though not fully replacing existing ones. The US is considering new operational plans for potential strikes against Iran. Iranian officials warn about the need to be prepared for all eventualities, expressing distrust of the US and emphasizing Iran's military capabilities. Meanwhile, drone attacks and air defense activity have been reported in the region. The US-led blockade of the Hormuz Strait remains effective, significantly impacting global energy transit and Iranian trade.
