US President Donald Trump is considering deploying special military forces to Iran to seize stockpiles of highly enriched uranium, following joint US-Israeli airstrikes that have weakened Iranian military infrastructure. The information comes from intelligence sources, though there is no official confirmation yet.

Meanwhile, a major fire was observed at a high-rise building in Kuwait following an Iranian drone operation targeting regional infrastructure. Two Kuwaiti police officers lost their lives in the incident. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had previously announced it is capable of sustaining an intense military campaign against the US and Israel for at least another six months, claiming it has so far only used first- and second-generation missiles, with more advanced projectiles not yet deployed.

However, military analyses tell a different story. A detailed look at the number of projectiles and drones launched reveals a significant weakening of attacks after the tenth day of the conflict — on day one, 350 ballistic missiles and 294 drones were launched, while on day ten those numbers fell to 12 missiles and 11 drones.

Military analysts point to several possible reasons: Israeli and American counterstrikes may have destroyed launch pads, ammunition depots, and command infrastructure. There is also the possibility that Iran is deliberately conserving missiles for a prolonged confrontation. A notable shift toward the use of cluster munitions further supports the claim that some missile arsenals may be running low.

At the same time, US media published an intelligence assessment according to which even a major military operation cannot bring down the Iranian government — a finding that amplifies fears the conflict could devolve into a prolonged destabilization of the region.
