[58933] Intelligence Report: Iran Has Restored Most of Its Missile Power Despite Trump's Statements

US intelligence assessments suggest that Iran has restored a significant part of its military capabilities, including dozens of launch sites in the Strait of Hormuz, contrary to President Trump's claims regarding the destruction of the Iranian navy.

US Intelligence Assessments: Iran Has Restored Its Military Capabilities

According to reports from the New York Times, current US intelligence assessments indicate that Iran has managed to preserve and restore a significant portion of its military power, despite President Donald Trump's statements on the Truth Social network, according to which the entire Iranian navy was destroyed and sunk at sea.

Data on Launch Capabilities and Inventory

According to information published in Deutsche Welle Persian and the IRNA News Agency, Iran currently holds about 70% of its original missile inventory as well as 70% of the mobile launchers that were available to it before the war. In addition, the New York Times notes that the Islamic Republic has regained access to 30 out of 33 launch sites located along the Strait of Hormuz, allowing it to continue to threaten maritime traffic and US warships.

Reality on the Ground vs. Political Statements

The reports highlight a gap between the Trump administration's narrative, which claimed the total annihilation of Iranian air and naval power, and intelligence analyses. The Washington Post added similar assessments last week, according to which Iran is now capable of repairing damaged missiles and producing new ones in underground infrastructure that has returned to full operation.

At the same time, naval intelligence experts cited in the Akhbar Fouri network report that the confused American policy in the Strait of Hormuz has caused commercial ships to choose to sail "with lights off" and without transmitting location data, for fear of Iranian threats that remain relevant in the field.
