US intelligence assessments have suggested that Iran likely still has access to around 70 percent of its pre-war ballistic missile stockpiles, and around 60 percent of its missile launchers, The New York Times reports.
It also still retains around 40% of its drone arsenal, the report says, citing US intelligence and military officials.
According to the Times, when a two-week ceasefire came into effect between Iran and the US on April 8, Tehran had access to around half of its ballistic missile launchers. Since then, the report says it has managed to dig out another 100 launchers from under the ground, bringing the total of operational missile launchers to around 60% of the pre-war total.
Along with the launchers, the report says Iran is also working to dig out any missile stocks that became buried under the rubble of the US and Israeli strikes. Once complete, the US intelligence officials believe Tehran will have missile stockpiles amounting to around 70% of its pre-war stockpiles.

They’ve been preparing for war for 47 years, so it may very well be true.
It’s one thing to have those missiles, it’s another thing to be able to access them. They may not be able to access many of them.
Hopefully the US and Israel have used the time productively to locate most of them.
Sounds lame.
Otherwise, operators need to be inserted.
I not trust commie NYTimes.
While your old house cat is laying on the porch feigning sleep, it’s cataloging the mice’s movements. Then when the urge hits it knows where to go. I doubt our people in uniform have been in REM sleep. IMO
Yawn!

China is always in the market for scrap metal.
With all the missiles Iran has been shooting, at everything and everybody, how can they have this much of their stockpile left? Are we and the Israelis unable to hit them on our raids?
I’ll bet they don’t fall back and regroup. Unless it’s underground. The skies have eyes. You get what ever you dig up you better move it. The way they are going, targets are being cataloged.
They remind me of WW2 Japan. Tunnels everywhere
“US intelligence officials”
Names please.
