🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️ — The opponent claims that the Russian Armed Forces have learned to jam the communication of Ukrainian drones with Starlink in some sectors of the front.

Allegedly, this is what the as-yet-unknown EW complex capable of doing this looks like.

If a working method of jamming Starlink has indeed been found, the spread of such systems could seriously affect the effectiveness of Ukrainian medium-range strikes, which directly depend on the American satellite internet.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — NEW: CIA Director John Ratcliffe has told President Trump and senior officials that US intelligence raises serious doubts about Iran’s willingness to make the nuclear concessions Washington is seeking in any final deal, three sources tell Axios.

➡️ Ratcliffe is not alone — Secretary of State Rubio and Defense Secretary Hegseth have also raised concerns internally, while VP Vance, Witkoff, and Kushner are advocating for the deal.

➡️ Intelligence shows Iranian officials are discussing the deal among themselves in ways inconsistent with what they are telling mediators and the US — “Iranian intentions are not in line with their commitments,” one source says.

➡️ Internal skeptics contend Iran is unlikely to sign a nuclear deal on US terms and will benefit more than the US from the MOU in the interim.

➡️ A senior US official says Washington will know within two to three weeks whether Iran is serious about nuclear concessions — if not, the process could stop before Iran gains much.

➡️ The MOU’s nuclear elements are conditional on a more detailed follow-on deal to be negotiated over 60 days; Vance, Witkoff, and Kushner are expected to meet Iranian officials Friday alongside Qatari and Pakistani mediators.

➡️ Senator Lindsey Graham tells Axios he is “somewhat concerned that Iran’s view of the agreement seems different than what the American negotiating team is claiming,” calling for the document’s immediate public release.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — Trump says the Strait of Hormuz has reopened following the US-Iran agreement — but across the shipping industry, confidence remains scarce, CNN reports.

Threats including mines, drones, and missile attacks continue to deter movement, while crew exhaustion after months of uncertainty adds further operational risk.

Kpler ship-tracking data shows no meaningful movement among the 220 tankers and nearly 500 vessels currently anchored in the Persian Gulf.

Caravel Group CEO Angad Banga says his vessels are ready to move but holding position: “We are maintaining enhanced manning and citadel readiness until we have 30 days of incident-free transits. Not three days. Thirty.”

“After so many false starts, the shipping industry is going to be cautious” — Tim Huxley, chairman of Mandarin Shipping, adding that trade flows and damaged Middle East infrastructure will take considerable time to recover.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️ — IRGC Quds Force commander Brigadier General Esmail Qaani tells Iranian media the war has “completely discredited America” and accelerated the “collapse” of the Israeli regime.

Qaani says not a single resistance group abandoned the field despite unprecedented pressure, adding their steadfastness has “terrified the enemies.”

Regional groups independently decided to defend Iran without being asked — “without anyone even asking them a single word,” he said.

“Hezbollah cannot be dismantled” — Qaani warns everything seen from Hezbollah so far is “only the tip of the iceberg.”

Describes Bab al-Mandab Strait as a strategic asset “like wax in the hands” of Hezbollah, Ansarullah, and Yemeni forces, claiming advanced US warships “did not dare to pass through.”

Praises Iran’s negotiators, saying steadfastness on Lebanon proved “the men of the battlefield and diplomacy are of the resistance kind.“​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

🇮🇷🇺🇸⚡️ — NEW: The Strait of Hormuz will “never return to its pre-war condition,” the head of Iran’s merchant marine union tells Al Jazeera.

➡️ Saman Rezaei says the war has “shattered the previous order” of the strait, and a new structure with a greater role for coastal states must emerge.

➡️ Full recovery depends on sustainable peace, reduced threats, and several cycles of incident-free transit — a process the ITF estimates could take “weeks, if not months.”

➡️ Significant port and trade infrastructure on both sides of the Gulf has been damaged, requiring substantial funding and time to rebuild.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

🇺🇸⚡️ — WATCH: A video from the scene of the crash of the B-52 shows that the bomber crashed almost immediately after takeoff - its wreckage is smoldering near the airbase.

At the moment, nothing is known about the fate of the crew, but in such a scenario, their ejection is unlikely.

🇮🇷🇺🇸⚡️ — Full details of the US-Iran MoU remain undisclosed, though officials on both sides have offered partial indications of what is included, Al Jazeera reports.

Iran’s National Security Council says the deal ends fighting on all fronts including Lebanon and lifts the US naval blockade on Iranian ports.

Both sides confirm follow-up talks on Iran’s nuclear program and sanctions relief will take place during a 60-day period after the MoU is signed in Switzerland on Friday.

Trump says the Strait of Hormuz will be “open to all” on Friday; VP Vance says no tolls will be charged during the 60-day period.

A senior Iranian official tells Reuters the US agreed to release $25 billion in frozen Iranian assets and waive oil sanctions for a specified period — Vance flatly denied this, saying “there hasn’t been a single dollar of sanctions relief or unfrozen assets” from Washington or its allies.

Vance describes the MoU as a “general document” of around “a page and a half,” adding that the text could be released publicly soon.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
