CIA Says Iran Can Outlast U.S. Blockade On Strait Of Hormuz For Months: Report

The president claimed Wednesday the U.S. and Israel have “mostly decimated” Iran’s missiles. But according to the Post, the CIA analysis concluded Tehran retains about 75% of its prewar inventory of mobile launchers and about 70% of prewar missile stockpiles — even assembling new missiles that were almost done when the U.S. and Israel launched the war.

An intelligence official would not confirm the CIA conclusion to the paper, only stressing the U.S. blockade is “inflicting real, compounding damage” on Iran.
