🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — NEW: The Pentagon has yet to order a critical stage of its post-strike review into the US strike on a school in Minab, Iran, according to three sources, CNN reports.

➡️ Two initial stages of a standard "battle damage assessment" — confirming the strike hit its intended target — were completed within a week, with findings indicating US responsibility for striking the Shajareh Tayyiba school.

➡️ A mandatory third stage, in which Defense Intelligence Agency analysts review all available satellite imagery and intelligence to produce a full account of the strike's impact, has not been initiated as of early July.

➡️ Sources describe this omission as highly irregular — the review would normally be ordered immediately following any significant strike.

🇮🇷🇾🇪🇺🇸⚡️ — BREAKING: Iran has asked the Houthi movement to stand ready to close the Red Sea shipping route if the US strikes Iranian power infrastructure, Reuters reports, citing three sources.

➡️ The request has been discussed within Iran's leadership and conveyed to the Houthis recently, per two senior Iranian sources and one regional source familiar with the matter.

➡️ A source close to the Houthis says the group has deployed missiles and drones near the Bab el-Mandeb strait and is awaiting an order to begin attacking shipping.

➡️ IRGC representatives already in Yemen will control the decision on when to move on the strait, the same source said.

➡️ With the Strait of Hormuz already shut, simultaneous Houthi action in the Red Sea would disrupt both of the Middle East's main oil export routes — the waterway currently carries around 7% of global energy supplies, including 70% of Saudi Arabia's energy exports routed via Yanbu.
