Despite the US and Israeli attacks that have been going on for more than a month, Iran's military capability has not completely collapsed - sensational information has emerged in an assessment by the US intelligence agency.

According to a report by the US media outlet CNN, about half of Iran's ballistic missile launch systems are still intact. Not only that, the country still has thousands of one-way attack drones in its arsenal, which can be used if necessary.

However, not all of the launchers that are intact are in working condition. The report mentions that some launchers have been buried under the debris of the airstrikes and are unusable.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump claimed that Iran's military capability has been almost completely destroyed. But this assessment by the intelligence agency creates a clear discrepancy with his claim.

Similarly, this information does not fully match Israel's claim. Israel said in March that it had destroyed or disabled about 60 percent of Iran's missile launchers. But the new assessment shows that a significant number are still intact.

Analysts say the discrepancy between the US and Israeli figures is due to different interpretations of the terms "intact" and "usable." Many launchers may not be destroyed, but may be unusable.

Meanwhile, a source has warned that Iran still retains the ability to launch large-scale attacks across the region, which could further complicate the situation.

However, the White House and the Pentagon have objected to the leaked intelligence. They claim that by releasing such information, an attempt is being made to diminish the success of the joint US-Israeli operation.
