According to three officials familiar with the intelligence quoted by TV, when the ceasefire began, Iran still had about half of its stockpile of missiles and ballistic missile launchers. While Iran's conventional navy was overwhelmingly destroyed, this was not the case for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps navy and its fast attack boats. 60 percent these units are still functioning.
CBS sources also claim that as many as approximately two-thirds of Iran's air force is also operational. An indirect confirmation of these analyzes was the speech of General James Adams, head of the Pentagon's intelligence agency, DIA, in Congress. Adams said Iran still has “thousands” of missiles and drones at its disposal and has the ability to attack ships in the Gulf of Hormuz.
How many weapons does Iran have? CBS: More than Trump and Hegseth claim
These analyzes contradict the public statements of President Donald Trump and Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, who claimed that as a result of American attacks, the Iranian armed forces have been “completely decimated” and that Iran no longer has either an air force or a navy.
Hegseth also repeatedly cited the fact that the number of Iranian missile attacks has dropped by 90 percent. compared to the first days of the war. This was supposed to prove that Iran's missile arsenal had been largely destroyed. During a recent press conference, Hegseth said that Iran's missile program was “functionally destroyed,” although he admitted that Iran was “unearthing” hidden missile launchers.
