Both countries have made conflicting statements about the status of the Strait of Hermuz, the vital waterway for oil that remains locked in the tent's stalemate.

Tehran says the strait is closed.

Trump insisted Tuesday that it's open.

Tanker traffic remains a fraction of what it was before the war.

New reporting from the Wall Street Journal, based on intercepted communications and other intelligence, sheds some light on why progress has been so difficult to come by.

Even as more pragmatic leaders within Iran pushed for negotiations, hardliners viewed the deal skeptically.

Reporter Ben Wafokone told us that Iran's leadership used the last two months to secretly plan how to escalate the war.

And he says the paramilitary Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was given more control over Iran's regular army.

Those new leaders started attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, which Saudi Arabia had been using as a detour shipping route.

The Revolutionary Guard supervised deployments of missiles, naval weapons, and drone launchers to the Red Sea.

They also escalated attacks on the US by firing on troops stationed in Jordan.

The escalations have alarmed Gulf allies and initially caught the US off guard.

Behind the scenes, Faucon reports that Supreme Leader Hameini was lining up key security leaders to run revamped military institutions.

Notably, Mosen Razai was named Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Iran's top decision making body.

And to focus on internal security, Hameini appointed the former head of intelligence for the IRGC.

According to the journal, Iran has also used the 60-day pause in fighting to prepare for a possible wider regional conflict.

Officials Foucault spoke to found evidence of communications between Iran and its allies in Yemen, Iraq, and Lebanon.

The IRGC sent Yemeni militants target lists with Saudi ports and energy facilities.

It's also considered sabotaging internet cables in the Persian Gulf and stirring political unrest in Kuwait and Bahrain.

Earlier this month, the Trump administration launched a huge construction project inside one of the country's most spectacular national parks, drawing opposition from across the political spectrum.
