US Intelligence Assesses Iran Retains Half of Missile and Drone Capabilities After Strikes
US intelligence reports indicate that Iran still has about half of its missile and drone power intact. Despite five weeks of airstrikes by the United States and Israel, Iran keeps a large number of launchers and thousands of drones according to intelligence sources. This means Iran can still launch significant attacks across the region even after the recent military operations. The findings have led to shifts in how officials describe the goals of the conflict. Some observers note that political leaders have changed their language from wanting to destroy Iran's military capacity to simply degrading it following these assessments. This change comes as the public questions the cost and effectiveness of the ongoing strikes.
