PANews reported on March 27 that, according to five sources familiar with U.S. intelligence, as the U.S.-Israel military operation against Iran has continued for nearly a month, the U.S. can only confirm that it has destroyed about one-third of Iran's vast missile arsenal. Four sources said the status of another third of the missiles is unclear, but the airstrikes likely damaged, destroyed, or buried these missiles, which were hidden in underground tunnels and bunkers. One source said the intelligence regarding Iran's drone capabilities was roughly the same, stating a considerable degree of confidence that one-third of them had been destroyed. This previously undisclosed assessment indicates that although most of Iran's missiles have been destroyed or rendered unusable, Tehran still possesses a substantial missile reserve and may be able to recover some of the buried or damaged missiles once the fighting ceases. This intelligence contrasts sharply with Trump's public remarks on Thursday, when he stated that Iran "has almost no rockets left."
