Headline: UNCAPTIONED: US Intel Says Iran Still Retains Significant Missile Capabilities
Caption: US Intel Says Iran Still Retains Significant Missile Capabilities. U.S. intelligence assessments suggest Iran still retains a substantial portion of its missile and drone capabilities despite ongoing strikes. Roughly half of Iran’s missile launchers remain intact, according to sources familiar with the intelligence. Thousands of drones are still in Iran’s arsenal, representing about 50% of its original capacity. Coastal defense missiles, crucial for threatening shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, are also largely intact. The findings contrast with claims by President Donald Trump that Iran’s capabilities have been largely destroyed. U.S. strikes have still significantly degraded Iran’s military and killed senior figures including Ali Khamenei and Ali Larijani. The Pentagon says attacks from Iran have dropped sharply, pointing to a 90% decline in missile and drone launches. Officials stress the U.S. maintains air dominance, while warning Iran still has the capacity to destabilise the region.
