Iran ‘repairing missile bunkers within hours’: NYT
US officials said Iran still has enough missiles and launchers to threaten Israel as it uses decoys and hidden bunkers to mask losses.
- On Saturday, intelligence reports revealed that Iranian forces are rapidly restoring missile launch shafts and underground bunkers within hours of being struck by U.S. and Israeli airstrikes.
- Since the joint U.S. and Israeli military aggression began on February 28, the Pentagon claimed to have struck 11,000 targets, though intelligence reports now cast doubt on these assessments.
- U.S. intelligence agencies believe Iran is increasingly moving launchers into bunkers and caves to protect them, while deploying numerous decoys that complicate accurate assessments of remaining capabilities.
- Despite heavy damage inflicted over five weeks, the Iranian military continues launching approximately 15-30 ballistic missiles and 50-100 suicide drones daily across the region.
- Tehran aims to preserve as much launch capability as possible to maintain pressure throughout the conflict and after it ends, according to U.S. officials.
