U.S. can only confirm about a third of Iran's missile arsenal destroyed: Reuters
About one-third of Iran's missile arsenal confirmed destroyed by U.S. intelligence while another third remains uncertain, with potential recovery from underground shelters.
- U.S. intelligence estimates that only about a third of Iran's missile arsenal has been destroyed, with another third likely damaged or buried in underground bunkers, according to five people familiar with the assessment.
- Since the February 28 start of operation "Epic Fury," U.S. and Israeli forces have struck more than 10,000 Iranian military targets and sunk 92 percent of the Iranian navy's large vessels.
- Despite the campaign's intensity, Iranian forces fired 15 ballistic missiles at the United Arab Emirates on Thursday, along with 11 drones, and last week targeted the U.S.-UK military base Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.
- President Donald Trump claimed on Thursday that Iran had "very few rockets left," yet Nicole Grajewski, an Iran missile expert at Sciences Po university, argues Tehran still retains about 30 percent of its missile capabilities.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth acknowledged Iran's tunneling challenge on March 19, while a senior U.S. official expressed skepticism about the United States' "ability to accurately assess Iran" regarding underground weapons stockpiles.
