Recent US intelligence assessments reveal that Iran has significantly restored its missile capabilities despite claims by the Trump administration of their decimation. According to The New York Times, Iran has regained operational access to 30 of its 33 missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz, countering prior US assertions.

This report, based on intelligence reviewed by US policymakers, suggests that approximately 90% of Iran's underground missile facilities are operational. Despite previous US and Israeli military campaigns, Iran maintains roughly 70% of its mobile missile launchers and missile stockpile, showcasing a resilient military infrastructure.

The assessments indicate that only three sites remain inaccessible, while others have varying operational access. US military intelligence notes that replenishing American munitions depleted during the conflict could take years, raising concerns among US allies as tensions continue in the region. (ANI)
