Iran's Military Endurance Defies Public Accounting, Officials Say

CBS News cites multiple U.S. officials with knowledge of intelligence who say Iran still retains substantial military capabilities: about half of its ballistic missiles and launch systems remain; roughly 60% of the IRGC’s naval arm is intact, including fast-attack boats; about two-thirds of Iran’s air force is still operational, despite extensive strikes. These assessments contradict public claims by some U.S. officials that Iran’s military was decimated, and officials warn Iran can still inflict damage, including threats to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
