An intelligence leak reveals that only about one-third of Iran's missile and drone arsenal has been destroyed, contradicting President Trump's claims of near elimination.
Despite significant losses, Iran's military remains resilient, with over 66% of its missile, drone, and shipbuilding facilities destroyed, and 150 navy vessels sunk.
The conflict between the U.S. and Iran has evolved into an intense asymmetrical war, with Iran's enduring use of low-cost drones and sea mines continuing to inflict strategic disruption.
One month into the ongoing war, Iran is leveraging insurgent-style tactics against the United States and Israel, relying on asymmetrical warfare to offset its military disadvantages and disrupting global oil markets by restricting international shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
