U.S. intelligence estimates about one-third of Iran’s missile arsenal has been destroyed, with roughly another third likely damaged or buried in underground tunnels; Iran reportedly still holds a sizable stockpile and could recover some missiles, highlighting the challenge of assessing damage amid ongoing strikes and contrasting with Trump’s public claim that Iran has few rockets left.
The US military conducted a "self-defense" strike against Houthi unmanned aerial vehicles and a ground control station in Yemen, citing an imminent threat to merchant and navy vessels in the region. This action is part of efforts to protect international waters and prevent Iran-backed Houthi militants from attacking vital shipping lanes.
