US intelligence assesses that Iran’s new supreme leader is playing a critical role in shaping war strategy alongside senior Iranian officials, according to multiple sources familiar with the intelligence.

The U.S. conducted strikes against at least two locations in Iran Thursday, a U.S. official said.

Until now, Vladimir Putin’s government is thought to have provided intelligence that enabled Iran to target American forces in the Middle East. This is the first evidence that it may also have offered to supply innovative weapons in large enough numbers to inflict many casualties on American and allied forces,

Efforts to end the war between the U.S. and Iran appeared to stall as the two sides traded fire in the Gulf on Friday, while a U.S. intelligence analysis concluded Tehran ‌could withstand a naval blockade for another four months.

Israeli and U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure have set back Tehran’s ability to build a nuclear weapon and likely extended the timeline for producing a bomb, according to a new report by the Institute for Science and International Security.
