Iran: No response has been made to the US proposal yet Odaily Planet Daily News: On the 7th, a spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs told Iranian media that Iran has not yet reached a conclusion on the plan proposed by the US, nor has it responded to the US. According to insiders, a confidential analysis by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) this week suggests that Iran can maintain a US maritime blockade for at least three to four months before facing more severe economic difficulties. This analysis also suggests that despite weeks of intense US Israeli bombings, Iran still maintains a significant ballistic missile capability. A US official stated that Iran currently retains approximately 75% of its pre war inventory of mobile launchers and around 70% of its missile reserves. The official stated that there is evidence to show that the Iranian regime has been able to restore and reactivate almost all underground storage facilities, repair some damaged missiles, and even assemble some new missiles that were close to completion when the war broke out. Iran's ability to withstand long-term economic difficulties is even stronger than the CIA's assessment. The Iranian leadership has become more radical, resolute, and increasingly convinced that they can exhaust the political will of the United States while containing any resistance through domestic repression, similar to how regimes have maintained long-term embargoes and pure air strikes for years. Insiders say that Iran is storing some oil on tankers that would have been idle due to the blockade, while reducing oil field production to ensure the operation of oil wells. US officials say that if Iran is able to smuggle oil by land, the CIA may have underestimated Iran's economic resilience. (Golden Ten)
