The US has only destroyed about a third of Iran’s missile and drone arsenal after a month of its war against Iran which aimed to degrade the country’s ballistic missile capabilities, according to a report by Reuters.
About a third of Tehran’s missiles have been destroyed, and another third was likely to be damaged or buried in underground tunnels and bunkers, the report suggested. A similar assessment was made about the country’s drone arsenal.
The report, based on five people familiar with US intelligence, suggests that while most of Iran’s missiles are immediately inaccessible, the country still has a sizeable stockpile.
That contradicts Donald Trump’s statement on Thursday that Tehran had “very few rockets left” and statements from other US officials that the war has eliminated its ballistic missile capabilities.
Iranian officials see its ballistic missile programme as a key deterrent, particularly given the vast military superiority of the US and Israel, which is within reach of its arsenal and views it as a direct threat.
Iran has used ballistic missiles and drones to devastating effect over the last month, continuing to pound Israel and key energy and public infrastructure in the Gulf, and inflicting huge damage on the global economy.
The US and Israel have said degrading Iran’s ballistic missile capacity is one of the chief aims of the war. IWashington has deployed thousands of more troops to the Middle East in recent days as the administration reportedly mulls a ground operation in Kharg island with the aim of reopening the strait of Hormuz.

Which is why they are no longer shooting 500 rocket volleys at Israel anymore.
The Guardian - a global joke run by deluded leftist children infected by advanced TDS.
Each day, the Iranian threat is being reduced.
I trust PDJT and our wonderful military to get the job done.
they’re doing it...
You mean Keir Starmer paid you to say…
What news outlets would you recommend to get news?
Yes. Starmer the disgusting neo-Marxist islamophile.
Sure thing Guardian. *giggle*
The once proud and great Brits (Cromwell, Elizabeth, Churchill, Thatcher et al)
have given up their guns and let the scum of the Earth in to take over their country.
“five people familiar with US intelligence”
Experts say. But let’s pretend it is true. Like a good terrorist Muslim nation, they hide their military equipment in hospitals, mosques, schools, apartments, and any place civilians, especially children, congregate.
Quantity vs quality? Some missiles may be more equal than others.
THE US SPENDING A BILLION TAX DOLLARS A DAY
ON IRAN WAS ALL GOOD -—— BUT JUST FOR ISRAEL
Trump failed to get the regime change he was promised but Israel achieved the substantial tactical and strategic goals it wanted, including dismantling key military infrastructure and weakening Iran’s air defenses.
Key Gains for Israel:
Israel asserted Military Dominance when it prioritized removing Iran’s existential threats to Israel.
Netanyahu noted the war destroyed Iran’s potential for nuclear and ballistic missile annihilation of Israel..... a monumental move for Israel’s plans for dominance——for Mideast hegemony. (Middle East Institute)
Reduced Regional Threat: While the Iran regime survived, the war decreased its capacity to threaten Israel directly. Iran is now more vulnerable to further Israeli attacks says a “Middle East Institute” article. (Royal United Services Institute)
Regional Alignment: The conflict solidified Israel’s regional security concept and provided Israel with intelligence insights, allowing for a stronger Israeli counter-Iran alignment, notes a “Brookings” analysis.
However, for Trump, the joint campaign failed to collapse the ruling structure. The killings of leaders had the unwarranted effect of initially enhancing Iran’s internal cohesion.......and not a cadre of US-leaning quick replacements as Israels Mossad concluded.
Their own words put lie to the headline.
“About a third of Tehran’s missiles have been destroyed, and another third was likely to be damaged or buried in underground tunnels and bunkers”
Buried in a tunnel collapse, is treated as a fully operational reserve? Most missiles are a bit more sensitive than that.
Additionally, there are those missiles that Iran has fired. What’s that, another third?
Also of note, is that the missile factories have been destroyed, as well as the component factories. Skilled workers, scientists, engineers and missile crews have been killed.
Fury is one of FR’s rat trolls, just ignore.
Can this psyops get any more transparent?
They forgot to add that Fordow was a failure, too.

One should only trust news and opinion from FR, and then only from the vanity posts….
🤣
Rotters?
Sure,sure,sure.
Baghdad Bob states unequivocally there are no less than seven people familiar with US intelligence and they estimate Iran has between 47 and 55 missiles targeting Geneva at any given moment.
On this, Centcom.
