The United States can only determine with certainty that it has destroyed about a third of Iran's vast missile arsenal as the U.S. and Israeli war on the country ​nears its one-month mark, according to five people familiar with the U.S. intelligence.

The status of around another third is less clear but bombings likely damaged, destroyed or buried those missiles in underground tunnels and ‌bunkers, four of the sources said.

The assessment, which has not been previously reported, shows that while most of Iran's missiles are either destroyed or inaccessible, Tehran still has a significant missile inventory and may be able to recover some buried or damaged missiles once fighting stops.

Asked for comment, a Pentagon official said Iranian missile and drone attacks were ​down by about 90% since the start of the war. The U.S. military's Central Command "has also damaged or destroyed over 66% of Iranian missile, drone, and naval production facilities and shipyards," the official added.

The U.S. military has published imagery showing attacks on the factories that produce Iran's weaponry and has stressed that it is not just pursuing missile and drone stockpiles, but ‌the industry that ⁠makes them.

Israeli military officials say Iran had 2,500 ballistic missiles capable of reaching Israel before the war. Over 335 missile launchers have been "neutralized", representing 70% of Iran's launch capacity, a senior Israeli military official said.

Das letzte ist noch einer der wesentichsten Punkte: Raketen sind das eine, die Werfer bzw. Abschussanlagen das andere. Und dann ist Rakete nicht gleich Rakete. Primär relevant sind die Raketen großer Reichweite. Dass der Iran noch jede Menge Kurzstreckenraketen hat ist völlig klar und steht außer Frage.
