A recent US intelligence assessment indicates that nearly half of Iran’s missile launchers remain intact despite more than a month of extensive US and Israeli airstrikes. The report, cited by three sources speaking to CNN, also states that Iran still possesses thousands of drones, representing about half of its drone capability. Some launchers may be buried under debris from attacks but are not fully destroyed, leaving them potentially operational.

According to the intelligence findings, a significant portion of Iran’s coastal defense cruise missiles also remains undamaged, as the United States has conducted limited airstrikes along Iran’s coastline. These missiles could pose a serious threat to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. One source told CNN that Iran retains the capacity to inflict widespread destruction across the region.

The intelligence assessment contrasts with President Trump’s claim of victory in the Iran conflict, suggesting that Iran’s military capabilities remain far from neutralized.
