Iran is regaining access to vast quantities of missiles stored in its underground facilities, new satellite imagery analyzed by CNN shows, casting doubt on US President Donald Trump\u2019s claims of having all but obliterated Tehran\u2019s arsenal. During the war, Israeli-US strikes put many of these missile complexes out of commission by blocking their entry points, trapping a large portion of Iran\u2019s launchers and crippling its ability to fire. Now, using just bulldozers and dump trucks, Iran is undoing the effects of a strategy that involved an enormous amount of Israeli-US firepower. The Pentagon stands by the success of its campaign.

\u2022 Potential deal: <\/strong>The US and Iran reached a tentative agreement<\/a> to open the Strait of Hormuz and start nuclear talks, according to US officials \u2014 though President Donald Trump has not signed off on it yet. Iranian officials have not yet commented on a potential deal. <\/p>\n

\u2022 Back-and-forth continues: <\/strong>US Vice President JD Vance said \u201ca couple of language points\u201d are still under discussion<\/a> but the sides are making progress in peace talks. Sources say the tentative deal would begin 60 more days of negotiation on Tehran\u2019s nuclear program. <\/p>\n

\u2022 Strikes in the region: <\/strong>Iran fired a ballistic missile toward Kuwait<\/a> late Wednesday, according to US Central Command, which said it was intercepted. Iran\u2019s military previously said it had launched an attack targeting an American air base<\/a>, claiming it was the source of recent US strikes. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

May 28 marks three months since 168 children and 14 teachers were killed in a missile strike that hit a girls\u2019 school in Iran. <\/p>\n

CNN previously reported<\/a> that the US military accidentally struck the school, likely due to outdated information about a nearby naval base, according to sources briefed on preliminary findings. <\/p>\n

Earlier on Thursday, CENTCOM said its investigation is ongoing, but coming to a close. <\/p>\n
