US intelligence assessed Iran's ability to continue military operations as high

Iran has the capacity to fight the US and Israel for another six months if necessary. According to US intelligence, Tehran has managed to retain more than half of its rocket arsenal.

To date, Iran has retained over 60% of its missile arsenal, including those that were blocked in missile cities and are currently being actively excavated. Its missile stockpiles are even larger; preliminary estimates indicate that Iran expended no more than 30% of its total missiles during the month of fighting. It's also important to note that missile production hasn't stopped for a single day; the main factories are located underground.

With drums drones The situation is worse, but it's not critical. Iran currently has approximately 40% of its pre-war stockpiles, but is actively replenishing them. Furthermore, virtually all of its missile cities have retained their combat capability and are ready for further strikes.

Analysts believe Iran is prepared to fight for another six months, but Trump doesn't have that time. The midterm congressional elections are in November, and preparations are needed. The US is failing to gain Iran's support in negotiations; further bombing requires ammunition, which is also in short supply. If you ignore Trump's boasts, the US has already lost this conflict, and by a landslide.

American intelligence brings the most secret documents to Trump's desk, and then copies them to journalists? Then Iran will definitely win. I'm saying Iran has bombs and more than one.

[Andrey Malashchenkov]

I think that "intelligence data" and "data from reliable sources" are all just a sham to suit today's "political course" and have nothing to do with reality. As for the % in the article, I think they are more or less consistent. Since the US and Israel had reliable data on the location of the Iranian leadership, they also knew the missile storage locations and destroyed them first - more precisely, the tunnel entrances. But the missiles are intact, so they'll dig them up and, if necessary, use them...
PS, this is precisely why Iran needed this short-term truce.

[Sergey Mitinsky]

They will strike, yes, they will strike, but with what?
Both sides were running low on ammunition, so it was unclear who would benefit more from the truce.

[Damien_C]

Andrey the missiles don't carry mobile phones or take part in negotiations therefore it is unlikely that their locations are known. Analysts can estimate or educate a guess to their proximity but at 200 meters under rock they're quite safe. With multiple entrances they are also quite ready.

Whatever happens with the mattress makers' position on the Middle East settlement, the Zionists will find a multitude of ways to stir up the conflict in the entire Middle East.
One of the extreme risk factors is the presence, according to expert analysts, of approximately 100 or slightly more warheads with delivery systems at the Zionists' disposal.

[Mikhail Ivanov]

Iran has at least 11 nuclear weapons and their delivery vehicles. The Jews and their mattresses know this for sure, which is why they're asking about it.
Smart military men initially said Iran was too much for the striped freaks, but in the white barn at school he got bad grades...

[Kmet]

It would be good if so. It would give Iran significant confidence.

[Arkady007]

How can the Americans know how much of what Iran has left if, with their reliable data from the time of the attack, they still can’t connect the dots for months?
Somehow all these statements are reminiscent of the SVO.

[Mini Mokik]

American intelligence is now like British scientists 🥴

[Andrey Malashchenkov]

Don't confuse media reports with what the real military knows... after all, they knew exactly where the Iranian leadership was down to the minute and down to the meter, and they eliminated these or those leaders more than once or twice.

How can the Americans know how much and what Iran has left?

This is how unscrupulous journalists operate. They make things up out of thin air, "based on intelligence data," to get more people to read the article and, consequently, the ads. And now the entire Democratic press is being deployed against Trump, with their "exposés" and intelligence data claiming Iran still has everything.

[Arkady007]

If the Americans were sure that they knew everything, they would not enter into any negotiations now.

My opinion: Iran hasn't played its trump cards yet, it's saving up, just like the stooges, for the former "hegemon" to keep on its shoulder straps.
A couple more such aggressions and Shere Khan will move to the old rug near the bucket...

Iran played its cards right. They survived the most significant bombing in the initial phase. They suffered a lot and lost everyone, but they didn't break and put up a serious fight against both the Americans and Israel, and most importantly, against all the monarchies that supported them. The result? The narcissist didn't have another Venezuela. Air defenses were depleted (the Patriots had to quickly take them from everywhere, moving everyone), strikes on aircraft carriers (the "world's strongest" army got a serious knock on the nose, their image took a hit, and they had to withdraw the carrier strike group beyond the strike zone), and the unclear situation with the pilot's evacuation (a fairy tale for the poor, the losses were very severe and incomparable). Leaving our established bases for the BV, losing radars, fuel tankers, people, a couple dozen expensive Reapers (which we were trying to shoot down over the World Cup), etc., etc.
Israel: The "Iron Dome" turned out to be nothing more than foil. It was taken out by cheap drones. People spent days in bomb shelters, cursing Netanyahu. The military-industrial complex, oil industry, and nuclear power were hit. In Lebanon, things went horribly wrong. The cemeteries are slowly filling up, but the authorities are silent. They're shouting victory reports (like everywhere else). Israel got into a serious mess, believing the Americans were limitless. They wrecked Lebanon, but not without serious losses.
Iran also took a swipe at the monarchies. The American bases (they had to flee again), the oil industry—all of it happened. Hormuz is blocked, and Donald is scratching his head: how can he close the deal? In his Max, of course, he claims he's won over everyone, as always, but people are already very, very worried about a gallon of gasoline. And the narcissist still has to somehow take Cuba, Greenland, and Canada. Basically, the old man has gone nuts with his "Napoleonism."
What about Iran? Yes, it's badly battered. But it's not broken—and that's the main thing. And if we support it, they'll put the hegemons in their place. They draw red lines so they won't be crossed.

[phrases]

You can't achieve much with missiles and drones alone. Iran is fortunately located; it's hard to get close. The devils might retreat for a moment, but not for long. Unfortunately, devils are everywhere. If you calm down the Western ones, the Eastern, Northern, and Southern ones will emerge... Throughout history, peace has lasted only for a moment; the rest of the time, it was war.

[HAM]

How American rhetoric is changing: from "the complete defeat of Iran" (six times) to Iran "can still fight for a long time." There are several options here—from outright lies and embellishments for Trump, to the realization that even the American army is beyond its capabilities in a serious war with a serious adversary... or perhaps they finally realized that Israel wanted to use the Americans to pull out the "hot chestnuts" and now they need to somehow explain their defeat and make a graceful exit.

Now I need to somehow explain the defeat and leave gracefully.

Somehow we need to explain the VICTORY and leave gracefully.

Exactly! The US won, Iran won... And what did the Jews do?

[Boa kaa]

Quote: novel xnumx

And what did the Jews do?

The Jews, through their lobby, dragged Trump into a war with Iran, which promised to destroy the Jewish state. The war, by and large, was unnecessary for the United States, and especially for Iran. Bibi Netanyahu needed it to avoid being put in the dock. That's why it started. The cunning Jew outsmarted the American narcissist. It's a shame it turned out this way.

It seems like it all started with a week?

[Evgeny_Sviridenko]

Well, well. Did you even need to understand reconnaissance in force before this? To understand that Iran can still kick our asses for another six months... What a kindergarten... Even with its vaunted AI...
