Half of Iran’s Launch Systems, Drones Remain Operational
The findings suggest that Iran still maintains a significant missile stockpile, and previous analyses indicated that its capabilities may be less degraded than US officials have publicly stated. Some of the weapons may currently be inaccessible, as recent strikes have targeted tunnel entrances used to hide them, which Tehran had constructed in anticipation of bombings.
Iran is also believed to retain much of its short-range cruise missile arsenal along the coastline. Authorities claim the country possesses “hundreds, if not thousands” of small vessels and surface drones, which could potentially threaten shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The nation has effectively restricted passage for unauthorized ships through this strategic chokepoint, applying pressure on US allies and global markets.
