CNN writes that despite five weeks of massive air strikes by the United States and Israel, the latest American intelligence data shows that about 50% of Iran’s missile installations and attack drones are still intact.
This information differs significantly from the statements of President Donald Trump, according to which Iran’s military potential has been almost destroyed. According to intelligence sources, Iran retains the ability to “create absolute chaos in the region”, as many missile systems are hidden in inaccessible underground tunnels.
More worrying is the fact that Iran’s coastal defense cruise missiles, which pose a direct threat to international shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, have remained almost intact.
Thousands of “kamikaze” drones are still in Iran’s arsenal. According to estimates, about half of the drones’ capabilities remain intact.
