Report Challenges Trump Claims on Damage to Iran’s Missile Network
The findings come amid media reports disputing President Donald Trump’s assertions that Iran’s military capabilities were largely dismantled during a bombing campaign that ran from February 28 until a ceasefire on April 8. The intelligence review indicates that Iran has regained operational functionality at 30 out of 33 missile installations positioned along the strategic waterway.
These sites are reportedly capable of targeting US naval vessels and commercial tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passageway that handles roughly 20% of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments.
In response to US and Israeli strikes, Iran temporarily restricted passage through the strait, referring to certain vessels as “enemy ships.” Since then, Iranian authorities have maintained a position asserting greater control over maritime traffic in the region, including the potential imposition of transit fees.
