'one-third'
US can only confirm about third of Iran's missile arsenal destroyed
SUMMARY
U.S. intelligence can confirm with certainty that American and Israeli strikes have destroyed only about one-third of Iran’s missile arsenal after nearly one month of war.
The status of another third remains unclear, though officials believe many of those missiles were likely damaged, destroyed or buried deep inside underground tunnels and bunkers. A similar assessment applies to Iran’s drone capability.
This classified evaluation shows Tehran retains a significant remaining inventory and may recover some buried or damaged weapons once fighting ends.
The assessment stands in direct contrast to President Trump’s public claim that Iran has “very few rockets left.”
