Trump's Iran war boasts SHREDDED by leaked CIA dossier as chilling intel reveals vast missile arsenal and warns regime can outlast blockade for months
A leaked CIA briefing to the White House concludes that Iran retains significant ballistic missile capabilities, undercutting Donald Trump's claims that the regime's stockpile has been wiped out.The regime retains roughly 70 percent of its prewar missile stockpile and 75 percent of its mobile launcher inventory, according to a confidential CIA analysis provided to Trump officials.A US official told The Washington Post that Iran has recovered and reopened the vast majority of the underground storage facilities damaged in the opening stages of the war.Sources added that Iran has not only repaired damaged missiles but has also managed to produce new ones.The latest intelligence leak compiled this week contradicts Trump's remarks in the Oval Office yesterday, when he claimed Iran's 'missiles are mostly decimated, they have probably 18, 19 percent, but not a lot by comparison to what they had.'Intelligence officials found that Iran can withstand the economic toll of Trump's naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz for at least three to four months. Trump ordered the blockade despite the fragile ceasefire with Iran, aiming to pressure Tehran back to the negotiating table.The strait's closure has triggered a sharp rise in US gasoline and global oil prices, leaving Trump under mounting political pressure to bring the war to a close before the economic toll deepens.
