Trump says the US ‘totally destroyed’ Iran’s military. A new assessment says its missiles are already 75% rebuilt

 Some Western intelligence analysts believe Iran has largely reconstituted its ballistic missile stockpiles during the ceasefire, according to a new intelligence assessment posted by Bloomberg.

The article added that Tehran has probably added new-build Russian weapons to its inventory and reconstituted large numbers of its missile arsenal during the eight-week ceasefire, giving them plenty of firepower to restart the conflict.

The South China Morning Post reiterated Bloomberg’s assessment, stating Tehran has about 75 percent of the missiles it had before the start of the conflict and can easily build them up further, according to intelligence assessments.

In a segment on “Meet the Press,” President Donald Trump stated that the U.S. has “totally destroyed Iran’s military.” He further stated that Iran still possessed some drone and missile capabilities.

“Most of the drone factories have been knocked out, most of the launching pads have been knocked out, and most of the missile manufacturing areas have been knocked out.

But they still have capacity. They have some missiles, they have some drones,” he said.

“I would say percentage-wise, maybe 21 to 22 percent of their missiles. It’s a lot of missiles, but it’s not what it was when we first attacked.”

“Despite all the tactical successes claimed by the United States, it hasn’t achieved its goals of crippling Iran’s defense industrial base or significantly degrading Iran’s missile program,” said Becca Wasser, defense lead for Bloomberg Economics.

“Iran has shown remarkable resilience and ability to reconstitute its missile arsenal.”
