Iran is using the temporary ceasefire to dig up missile launchers that were buried by Donald Trump’s heavy bombing of the rogue nation at the start of the war.
Shocking satellite images reveal the brutal regime will not rest while Trump halts the bombings and is instead using the ceasefire to clear access to its underground missile bases.
It comes as Iran has threatened to deploy its Houthi proxies to block another key chokepoint for global trade – the Bab al-Mandab Strait, also known as the Gate of Tears.
The Gate of Tears is a vital global shipping artery leading to the Suez Canal – about 10 percent of all global trade passes through the strait at the mouth of the Red Sea.
The US is enforcing a blockade on Iran-linked ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz – although some ships slipped through in the first 24 hours, with the Americans insisting the ships must comply with orders to stop or turn around.
These bases were strategically targeted by American and Israeli attacks, blocking their entry and exit points.
This was part of a plan to bury Iran’s missile launchers underground.
But now the rogue nation is using the time allotted for peace talks to clear debris from the bases.
Satellite images show debris being taken out and loaded onto trucks to open entrances to bases in Tabriz and Khomein.
This comes as the US is deploying more troops to the region after imposing a blockade on ships sailing to Iranian ports in the Gulf.
The US blockade is a response to the Iranians’ refusal to reopen the strait.
Trump also announced that the Iran war is “close to being over” – hinting at talks over the next two days.
