Primary source Internal intake · 1 reviewed intake signal · Desk window 18:35

TL;DR

A US official told CNN that Washington is still deliberating the next round of airstrikes against Iran, and that the previous round of strikes has brought the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding to the verge of collapse. The remarks come amid ongoing tensions over the status of the agreement.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The statement from a US official to CNN is the latest in a series of signals about the fragility of the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding. As The Zioneer reported on June 20, sources said the agreement was on the verge of collapse. On June 28, Axios reported the fragile ceasefire was again at risk of collapse. The US has also been preparing for further military action; on June 10, The Zioneer reported that the US was preparing another wave of strikes, with power plants considered likely targets. The current official remarks suggest that the next round of strikes is still under deliberation, and that the previous round has significantly undermined the diplomatic track.
