US Strikes Hit Iran’s Missile Stockpile
US vs Iran: Only 1/3rd Missiles Destroyed – New reports show that the United States has destroyed about one-third of Iran’s missiles. This information comes from sources speaking to Reuters. While many missiles are gone, a large part of the arsenal is still there.
Some missiles are likely damaged or hidden deep in tunnels. This makes it very hard for the US to see if they still work. Experts say that Iran might be able to fix some of these weapons later.
The US is also targeting Iran’s drones. About one-third of their drones have been taken out so far. However, Iran still has many drones left that could be used in the future.
Differences Between Intelligence and President Trump
President Donald Trump recently said that Iran has very few missiles left. He told officials that even a tiny number of missiles is too dangerous. He believes that even one missile could hurt a US ship.
The intelligence reports tell a slightly different story. They show that while Iran is weaker, they are not completely out of weapons. The military says that Iran’s attacks have dropped by 90 percent since the fighting started.
The US military group called CENTCOM has been very busy. They say they have hit over 66 percent of the places where Iran makes missiles and drones. They have also hit many of Iran’s warships and shipyards.
Why It Is Hard to Count the Missiles
It is very difficult for the US and Israel to know exactly how many missiles are left. This is because Iran hides many of its weapons in secret underground rooms. No one knew exactly how many they had before the war started.
Before the war, experts thought Iran had about 2,500 big missiles. These missiles are strong enough to reach Israel. The US has already stopped about 70 percent of the machines used to launch these missiles.
The last 30 percent of the launchers will be much harder to find. They are hidden well and are difficult to target. The US military is still working hard to find them.
The Goals of Operation Epic Fury
The US military calls this mission “Epic Fury.” They say the plan is going well and might even be ahead of schedule. They want to make sure Iran cannot use its missiles or drones anymore.
The US also wants to make Iran’s navy much weaker. Another big goal is to stop Iran from ever making nuclear weapons. They believe these strikes are the best way to keep the region safe.
Even though many targets have been hit, the mission is not over. The US will keep looking for hidden weapons to finish the job. They want to make sure Iran cannot start more trouble once the fighting stops.
