Classified U.S. intelligence assessments show Iran still has significant missile capabilities despite repeated claims by the Trump administration that its military has been "shattered," according to a report published Tuesday.
The New York Times reported that intelligence findings from early May show Iran has regained operational access to most of its missile sites, including 30 of the 33 missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz.
Citing people familiar with the assessments, the newspaper said Iran still possesses roughly 70% of its prewar missile stockpile and mobile launchers.
The assessments also found that nearly 90% of Iran’s underground missile storage and launch facilities nationwide are now "partially or fully operational."
White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales was quoted as saying that Iran's government knows that its "current reality is not sustainable" and that anyone who "thinks Iran has reconstituted its military is either delusional or a mouthpiece" for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).
