United States intelligence assessments have suggested that Iran likely still has access to around 70 percent of its pre-war ballistic missile stockpiles, and around 60 percent of its missile launchers, The New York Times reported on April 18.
According to the Times, when a two-week ceasefire came into effect between Iran and the United States on April 8, the Islamic Republic had access to around half of its ballistic missile launchers.
Since then, the report said it has managed to dig out another 100 launchers from under the ground, bringing the total of operational missile launchers to around 60% of the pre-war total.
The report adds that Iran is also working to dig out any missile stocks that became buried under the rubble as a result of American and Israeli strikes. Once complete, the U.S. intelligence officials believe Tehran will have missile stockpiles amounting to around 70% of its pre-war stockpiles.
Iran also still retains around 40% of its drone arsenal, according to the Times, which cited U.S. intelligence and military officials.
There have been already multiple reports of Iran digging up missiles and launchers, and just last week U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed this.
“We are reloading with more power than ever before, and better intelligence, even more importantly, better intelligence than ever before,” Hegseth told a press briefing on April 16.
“You are digging out your remaining launchers and missiles with no ability to replace them. You can dig out for now. Can’t reconstitute, but we can,” he added, referring to Iran’s military leadership.
Recent reports go directly against the claims made by the U.S. and Israel shortly after the start of the war. The militaries of both countries suggested that most of the Islamic Republic’s ballistic missile stockpiles and launchers were effectively wiped out.
The ceasefire is set to end in less than days, and efforts are already underway to hold a second round of American-Iranian talks in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, before that.

no. it’s known as a place where the truth can be discovered, and hence zionist agents come here 24/7 to post foul mouth filth, “amazing opportunities” to get rich (or are they phi shing or spy ware sites?), pure evil such as bombing iranian children, or lies and distractions.
hahaha hahahaha that’s definitely “what a joke”

welcome to the club, junior 🤧
iran has 25 million volunteers for its army. missile cities buried in mountains can not be destroyed. iran may have more more missiles than when the us and israel attacked. much of the older out of date munitions may be the bulk of what is expended so far. iran has calculated all logistics and outcomes carefully. the us has already lost this.
the straight of hormuz is owned by iran. it can and will control all energy exports from the middle east. no regional port or pipeline can survive and operate without irans permission. all are easily destroyed within hours.
time will tell the story.. the proof of irans handlers will be revealed by the outcomes for nuclear power and the proliferation of evs then we will know who “iran” really is ruled by.
no iranian ship is allowed on the open seas…heheheh
no food or fuel or economy, soon no water for israel either, only sirens and living permanently in bunkers like rats and mice. jewish power and pride is getting buried, israel is a failed state cant even defeat hezbola goat herders, nor palestinian women and children, israel is kaput
dr who catholic vet gberberus or whatever his name is, operating from pope francis saying, its everybodies moral duty to be vaccinated ensured that israelis became the most vaccinated people on earth like a modern medical crusade imo
crocus shooting gallery has now become israeli shooting gallery…hehehe
hehehehehe
russia was the last great pagan nation to convert it converted to greek orthodoxy romes arch enemy. it was never called russian orthodoxy until after ww1 the whole world knew that they were greek orthodox too .
typical americunt moron…🇷🇺 orthodoxy traced to 12th century
the pipeline for israeli oil passes through turkey. hehehhe
seig heil! you learned well from hitler and your nazi betters.
no israeli ship can go near hormuz as tel aviv destroyed by persian missiles
trumps erratic 20 social media posts in under 10 minutes absolutely shows he is panicking, stressed, losing the plot, threatening iran with war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide!!! trumps german ancestry makes it obvious he is the re incarnation of adolf hitler’s and this modern day madman will one day be forced to face international war crimes tribunal like nuremberg and will definitely have to contend with the hangman’s noose!!!☠️
you do that much is true. and obviously so too
putin should stop mediation and negotiation on behalf of trump. it always justify the legality of usa/nato illegal wars.which their create unilateriaally without unsc terms and mandate.russia as nuclear power should reprimand trump and force him to stop this wars.
all putin negotiations empower usa to come up with lies of none existance nuclear threat lies and negotiation validatity of apparent iran nuclear negotions.its time tht putin stnd up like lula d silva.its obvious trump wnts to take over oil control of venezuella and iran.
no one russia,china or india currently fights for venezuella freedom of trade with whom their want to sell their oil irrespective of traitors in venezuella army.their only wants to secure their oil and gas flow from hormus.which taritor arab countries sell to usa/nato via india.
tweety the bird told me told that some stealth super sonic antiship missleds are going to make their debut in the red sea, gulf of aden, arabian sea and the gulf of oman.
beep! beep! kaboom!
the usual anti anerican new york post. so negative against the constitution and the country. course new york is named after york in england when it was the roman capital city of romes british colonies and so is headquarters of the jesuits general and his military opposed to democracies globally.
one wonders why they use different fonts than the new york times, wall street journal and the washington post.
to be anti americunt is be a moral intelligent individual
lebanon’s president joseph aoun said friday that ties with the us were necessary given washington’s role as a global superpower, its membership in the un security council and its influence in the middle east.
speaking in an interview with asharq al-awsat, aoun also said he looks forward to meeting crown prince mohammed bin salman next week during his visit to saudi arabia, his first official trip abroad

the report forgot to mention that iranian production lines that are underground will be producing missiles and drones.
so how is 3-day smo “epstein fury” going? aka illegal and unprovoked trump’s war against women and children of iran.
nelle trattative vance non conta sono kushner e witkof che trattano ma sono due guerrafondai e non faranno fare trattative che portino a una pace.
oh, yes, iran has ‘x’ amounts of this, ‘x’ amounts of that and ‘x’ amounts of this and that. as if these zionist run liars know a thing. their only goal is disinfo for the sheeple. half of u.s. believes that iran is on the ropes, they wanted the cease-fire and they are all but done. the rest know what’s going on, but they don’t get air time. only zionists and their traitors get air time to blow more orange smoke up american’s asses.
get ready to start using them better start making more peace prez talking to ford and g.m.about making military equipment
