BREAKING: Deep State Leaks CIA Iran War Dossier to WaPo
Gateway Pundit ^ | May 07, 2026 | Cristina Laila

The Deep State leaked a CIA Iran war dossier to the Washington Post that refutes Trump’s claims that the Iranian Regime’s missiles are mostly decimated.

On Wednesday, President Trump sparred with a reporter in the Oval Office during a meeting with UFC fighters.

The reporter asked Trump about his decision to pause Project Freedom amid a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump told the reporter that the US military has decimated Iran’s missile capabilities and they probably only have about 18 percent left.

“You’re facing an opponent right now in Iran that has refused to submit. You seem optimistic announcing you may be closer to a deal – but what’s different now?” a reporter asked Trump about his latest decision to pause Project Freedom.

“Well, why do you say they refused to submit? You don’t know that! You don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors,” Trump said.

The reporter tried to interject: “They were firing on US troops a few days ago…”

“Yeah, a few days ago is a long time ago. You know, in the world of war, a few days ago, no, they want to make a deal badly. And we’ll see if we get there,” Trump said.

“If we get there, they can’t have nuclear weapons. You know, it’s very simple. But what’s not to submit? So they had a Navy with one hundred and fifty nine ships and now every ship is blown to pieces and lying at the bottom of the water,” Trump added.

“They had an air force, lots of planes, and they don’t have any planes. They don’t have any anti aircraft. They don’t have any radar left,” the president said.

“Their missiles are mostly decimated. They have some. They have probably 18, 19 percent, but not a lot by comparison to what they had,” he said.

“And their leaders are all dead. So I think we won. Now it’s only a question of, look, if we left right now around, it would take them 20 years to rebuild!” Trump said. “We’re in good shape.”

Trump Spars with Reporter During Meeting with UFC Fighters

Like clockwork, the Deep State CIA leaked an Iran dossier to the Washington Post that refutes Trump’s claims about Iran’s missile capabilities.

The Washington Post reported:

A confidential CIA analysis delivered to administration policymakers this week concludes that Iran can survive the U.S. naval blockade for at least three to four months before facing more severe economic hardship, four people familiar with the document said, a finding that appears to raise new questions about President Donald Trump’s optimism on ending the war.

The analysis by the U.S. intelligence community, whose secret assessments on Iran have often been more sober than the administration’s public statements, also found that Tehran retains significant ballistic missile capabilities despite weeks of intense U.S. and Israeli bombardment, three of the people familiar with it said.

Iran retains about 75 percent of its prewar inventories of mobile launchers and about 70 percent of its prewar stockpiles of missiles, a U.S. official said. The official said there is evidence that the regime has been able to recover and reopen almost all of its underground storage facilities, repair some damaged missiles and even assemble some new missiles that were nearly complete when the war began.

Trump painted a rosier picture in Oval Office remarks on Wednesday, saying of Iran: “Their missiles are mostly decimated, they have probably 18, 19 percent, but not a lot by comparison to what they had.”

Three current and one former U.S. official confirmed the outlines of the intelligence analysis, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter.

There is not one assessment, but several from different sources. These are weighed and summarized into the highest probability assessment, which is what is given to the President, with appropriate qualifications.

Someone is lying, and it isn't Trump.

“So I think we won.”

The “winner” of any conflict is the side that achieves its’ political objectives.

But this buffoon has never read Clausewitz or any other political - military theory.

By that measure the US was routed in the field.

Abject surrender.

Anonymous sources reveal improbably classified data.

Are these the same sources who said Hunter’s laptop was fake?

a U.S. official said

Names and documentation, or it didn't happen.

"Anonymous sources" are fabrications.

Really. So what are Trump's political objectives here? Can you define them?

“Really. So what are Trump’s political objectives here? Can you define them?”

Are you truly unaware? What has blinded you?

At the onset of hostilities Hegseth and Caine stated:
- Retrieval of all U-235
- Elimination of Iran’s ability to project power outside its’ own borders

POTUS Trump himself has said “Unconditional Surrender”.

How is it possible to miss these things?

Exactly. The worst outcome possible is briefed...and that’s what they run with as if it’s the gospel truth.

Shock and awe the Iranians into a quick surrender. It didn't happen, and a surrender won't happen. The IRGC is forcing the US to kill them all, and as is typical with the US in the Middle East, it doesn't appear to be part of the game plan.

Who in the CIA leaked it? Why did they leak it? This is nothing but partisan (and some would say treasonous) narrative writing.

a) Iran coughs up its enriched uranium; b) Iran gives credible evidence it has stopped and will not continue enriching uranium; c) Iran stops funding and aiding the Houthis, Hezbollah, and Hamas.

I wouldn’t believe anything that comes from, or claims to come from the CIA, even in Trump’s Administration. There are still too many swamp critters embedded in that agency, and all the U.S. alphabet agencies.

Should have destroyed Iran while we had the chance.

Then, and only then, talked peace.

Yeah!
We should worry about Trump’s plans based on a piece of CIA analysis...

The most important news is that the CIA is still thoroughly infected with treasonous leakers and anti-American propagandists...

The State Dept has been a hotbed of communist spies since the 1930s...

The CIA was penetrated by the communists through Carter’s actions in the late 1970s, and still needs a thorough purge...

The Washington Post has ALWAYS been solidly in the anti-American camp...

The President needs to find these leakers and deal with them with extreme prejudice...
