CIA Report Says Iran Far From Defeated
The CIA assessment changes the entire political equation around Iran because it directly contradicts the triumphant “mission accomplished” narrative coming out of the White House and Tel Aviv. If Iran still retains most of its missile capability and can absorb months of blockade pressure, then this conflict is nowhere near over — and the global economy is now trapped inside a geopolitical escalation nobody can fully control.
Iran can outlast US blockade for months and has ‘significant’ missile reserves, says CIA report
Iran retains 70% of its pre-war missile stockpile despite US-Israeli strikes, according to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Tehran has also reopened most of its underground storage facilities, repaired damaged missiles, and even assembled new missiles, The Washington Post reported, citing analysis by the agency.
It highlights a significant failure of the US’s war against Iran, which was intended to stop the regime bolstering its conventional defences to rebuild its nuclear programme.
The war narrative is collapsing faster than the missiles
Donald Trump claimed in the Oval Office on Tuesday that Iran’s “missiles are mostly decimated, they have probably 18%, 19%, but not a lot by comparison to what they had”.
In addition, the CIA analysis said Iran retains about 75% of pre-war inventories of mobile launchers used to fire the missiles

Any pretence that Iran is utterly destroyed militarily simply doesn’t understand the reality.
All Trump and Netanyahu have managed is to radicalise the theocracy even further…
‘Super Revolutionaries’: The radical Iranian hardliners bent on sabotaging a deal with the US

…Iran has caused far more damage to America and Israel than is being acknowledged and the CIA reportedly says Iran can withstand US blockade for 3-4 months.
Let this sink in.
Most American military bases have been hit by Iran…
What if Iran is far stronger than Washington admits?
Majority of US military sites in Middle East damaged by Iran, CNN investigation reveals
At least 16 American military sites have been damaged in Iranian strikes, making up the majority of US positions in the Middle East, a new CNN investigation can reveal. The damage includes high-value targets, raising questions about America’s footprint in the region
Has Iran inflicted more military damage than expected?
Iran gaining its own satellite capability has given them an accuracy far greater than what is being told and Iran has also hurt Israeli Intelligence as well.
Trump doesn’t know how to get out of this mad adventure because no one other than Netanyahu was malicious enough to try it on.
He has been hit more harshly than he expected and he is damaging the world economy with every passing day.
Iran has an opportunity to extract concessions from America that will legitimise the regime in the eyes of those they oppress.
Thinking they are beaten is a terrible misreading of the situation.
This is a flock of black swans.
Iran has every intention of dragging this all the way until the midterms.
Trump is a consummate bullshit artist. The fact that there are people out there trying to say otherwise, in the face of overwhelming evidence, just shows how f’d we are.
I will admit that this unnecessary war hasn’t played out as I thought it would. First off, Iran has done stuff all, sweet stuff all other than survive the United States of Israel’s never-ending attacks. Sure, Iran has, somewhat, cut off the Strait of Hormuz but this was predicted.
The entire world is suffering and I reckon that this is possibly the main goal of this war, with the destruction of Iran being merely the side dish,
We all must know by now that Trump is ‘certifiably insane’, delusional and narcissistic. He has so badly got this wrong it would be laughable if it wasn’t impacting so horribly on the rest of the world. Iran has played a smart chess game and has every right to keep tightening the screws in a bid to end Trump’s despotic reign, then move on to getting rid of manipulating butcher, Netanyahu. Both are the “scum of the earth” and deserve to be treated as such. It’s way past time for justice to prevail!
Trump and lying, mmmm?
