US intelligence assesses Iran maintains significant missile launching capability: CNN
US intelligence says Iran still has about 50% of its missile launchers and roughly 50% of its drone capability after five weeks of strikes.
- Despite five weeks of daily U.S. and Israeli strikes, roughly 50% of Iran's missile launchers remain intact, according to recent U.S. intelligence assessments, while thousands of one-way attack drones persist in the arsenal.
- Iran has long hidden launchers in extensive tunnel networks, and successfully moving mobile platforms creates tracking challenges similar to those the U.S. faces with Houthis in Yemen.
- Israeli military officials estimate operational Iranian launchers at roughly 20-25%, a lower figure than U.S. intelligence assessments, while U.S. Central Command reports striking more than 12,300 targets inside Iran.
- On Wednesday, President Trump projected finishing U.S. operations within two to three weeks, though sources described this timeline as unrealistic given Iran's remaining capabilities to target shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
- White House spokesperson Anna Kelly defended the military campaign, stating Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks are down 90 percent and that the U.S. and Israel maintain overwhelming air dominance over Iran.
