U.S. military intelligence officials told CBS News that Iran retains roughly half its ballistic missiles, 60% of its Revolutionary Guard naval forces, and two-thirds of its air force operational — significantly more than Trump and Defense Secretary Hegseth have publicly acknowledged. The discrepancy matters because the administration has claimed to have essentially destroyed Iran's military capacity, but internal Pentagon assessments suggest Iran can still inflict regional damage, including the gunboat attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz that continued even after Trump announced a ceasefire extension. The Defense Intelligence Agency has formally submitted statements to Congress acknowledging Iran 'retains thousands of missiles' despite degradation — a more cautious assessment than public White House statements.
