Iran Restored 30 of 33 Hormuz Missile Sites, US Intel Reports
The assessments say Iran kept about 70% of its prewar missile stockpile and restored access to 30 of 33 sites along the Strait of Hormuz.
- On Tuesday, classified U.S. intelligence assessments revealed Iran has regained operational access to most missile sites, including 30 of 33 facilities along the Strait of Hormuz, posing immediate threats to U.S. warships and commercial shipping.
- Military commanders opted to seal facility entrances rather than destroy them to conserve bunker-busting munitions for potential conflicts in Asia, leaving roughly 90% of underground facilities partially or fully operational.
- Classified assessments show Iran retains about 70% of its mobile launchers and prewar missile stockpile, directly contradicting public claims from President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that the military was "decimated."
- White House spokesperson Olivia Wales dismissed the intelligence as "delusional," reiterating that Iran's military is "crushed," while officials warn restored missile sites threaten U.S. warships and regional shipping.
- Replenishing depleted stocks, including more than 1,300 Patriot interceptors expended in the war, will take years, limiting the Pentagon's ability to support Ukraine while managing potential threats from Asia.
