0:00I'm Ben Thomas with an AP News Minute. The Iran War, the one-month mark John Gambrill has an assessment of Tehran's forces. Tehran is still hanging on and using insurgent-like tactics to maintain its pressure, both on its enemies and the global economy. Iran controls who goes through the strait of Hormuz and when, largely from the threat of it using drones and missiles on ships passing through without permission, that has stopped that traffic. We've seen the Iranians increasingly use so-called shoot-and-scoot tactics where they're hiding missile launchers inside of what look like commercial trucks, or using other sites far within Iran's mountainous regions to hide from the ongoing American and Israeli air strikes. Now, this doesn't say that Iran doesn't have pressure, it's all-volunteer besiege force under its paramilitary revolutionary guard, is now allowing children as young as 12. A.P.'s John Gambrill reporting from Dubai and I'm Ben Thomas.
