— The Americans are signalling openness to things they haven’t before, from what I’m hearing. I guess you could call it a ‘breakthrough’ in the negotiations with Iran.

However, I would not exclude the possibility of this being a move of deception in preparation of an imminent attack. Big possibility.

Regardless, sources seem to believe that some kind of joint statement could be issued within the next 48 hours.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇮🇷 NEW: President Trump and Israeli PM Netanyahu discussed a renewed effort to reach a deal with Iran during a lengthy and tense phone call on Tuesday.

Two Israeli sources said the two leaders were in disagreement about the way forward, while the U.S. source briefed on the call said 'Netanyahu's hair was on fire after the call'.

Netanyahu is highly skeptical about the negotiations and wants to resume the war to further degrade Iran's military capabilities and weaken the Iranian government by destroying its critical infrastructure. — Axios

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: Iran has rapidly started rebuilding military capabilities that were lost in the recent war, according to U.S. intelligence assessments

Among these capabilities, Iran has already restarted some of its drone production during the six-week ceasefire that began in early April, according to two sources familiar with U.S. intelligence assessments.

Four sources told CNN that U.S. intelligence indicates Iran’s military is reconstituting much faster than initially estimated. ‘The Iranians have exceeded all timelines the IC had for reconstitution’, one U.S. official said.

While the time to restart production of different weapons components varies, some estimates indicate Iran could fully reconstitute its drone attack capability in as soon as six months, one of the sources, a U.S. official, told CNN.
