New reports citing classified U.S. intelligence assessments suggest Iran has restored access to much of its missile infrastructure despite earlier claims that its military capabilities had been severely degraded. According to the reports, many missile sites and underground facilities are again operational, while Iran is believed to retain a significant share of its mobile launchers and missile stockpile. The findings contrast with previous public statements by U.S. officials and have renewed debate over the effectiveness of recent military operations and the readiness of U.S. missile inventories.
