📣 IRGC Spokesman: The U.S. Deployed Its Most Advanced Technologies in the Recent War — But Lost 🔸 Modern warfare is a war of advanced technologies, conducted simultaneously through artificial intelligence, software-based command systems, open-source and commercial data, widespread drone use, multiple sensors, and accelerated decision-making. 🔸 The time between detecting a target and deciding to strike it has been reduced from minutes to seconds. All of this is enabled by AI and an interconnected network of modern technological tools. 🔸 The system used by the United States in this war received and processed data from satellites, drones, radars, sensors, and battlefield intelligence reports, playing a role in operational decision-making. In effect, AI served as the backbone of operations, coordinating all of this information. 🔸 Alongside this system, other technologies were used for target identification, damage assessment, and tracking personnel. This technology-driven war brought some of the most advanced U.S. capabilities onto the battlefield. __________________________________ 📣 Beyond Headlines , Inside Iran 🔗 IRAN TIMES | @JAARCHI_ENG

📣 Netanyahu: We Reject the Gaza Peace Council’s Plan 🔸 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking at the beginning of a cabinet meeting, categorically rejected the 15-point document issued by the Peace Council for Gaza, declaring it completely unacceptable as a roadmap for an agreement with Hamas. 🔸 Netanyahu stressed that “the Israeli army will not withdraw from Gaza until Hamas is disarmed.” He added that disarmament means all weapons, including heavy and light arms, and that Israel is demanding genuine rather than symbolic disarmament. 🔸 Netanyahu’s remarks came a day after the Peace Council released its 15-point roadmap for ending the war and facilitating a prisoner exchange. The document reportedly called for the gradual disarmament of Hamas in exchange for a full Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza. __________________________________ 📣 Beyond Headlines , Inside Iran 🔗 IRAN TIMES | @JAARCHI_ENG

🎥 Latest Satellite Images of the Strait of Hormuz 🔸 Trump says, “The Strait of Hormuz is open, and we control it,” but maritime monitoring indicates that only a limited number of vessels are currently passing through the strait, including via the Iranian route. 🔸 Data from the maritime tracking company MarineTraffic reportedly shows a significant decline in traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. According to the company’s satellite monitoring, nine fewer vessels passed through the strait on Sunday compared with Friday. 🔸 Images released last night showed flames near the Strait of Hormuz, reportedly from a vessel burning in the Kamzar area of Omani waters.

📣 Retired U.S. Military Officer: Our Withdrawal from the Region Has Begun 🔸 Scott Ritter, a retired U.S. military officer, said the U.S. military has consumed a significant portion of its stockpiles of long-range missiles and precision-guided munitions, while its Tomahawk missile inventory has also declined. 🔸 As a result, the United States is facing shortages of long-range weapons needed to strike targets deep inside Iran. 🔸 The U.S. is effectively on a path toward a gradual withdrawal from West Asia, although Trump would likely avoid publicly describing the process as a “U.S. withdrawal.” 🔸 Some regional governments may also be increasingly reluctant to continue with the same security arrangements that were in place previously. __________________________________ 📣 Beyond Headlines , Inside Iran 🔗 IRAN TIMES | @JAARCHI_ENG
