"They are still more than ready to wreak absolute chaos throughout the region," said one of the interviewees.
The overall assessment of U.S. intelligence may include launchers that are currently inaccessible—for example, those that have been buried by earth as a result of strikes but have not been destroyed.
In addition, according to sources, there are still thousands of drones in Iran—about 50% of the country’s total capacity.
Intelligence reports indicate that a large percentage of Iran’s coastal defense cruise missiles remain intact. This enables Iran to threaten shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
