Iran's Missile Capability Remains Intact Despite US‑Israel Strikes

A Financial Times analysis reports that recent US and Israeli attacks have not succeeded in disabling Iran’s ballistic‑missile capacity. The report says Iran has preserved its production and rebuilding abilities, keeping its missile force operational and limiting the United States’ ability to achieve its original war objectives.

A separate study by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) warns that the renewed clashes with Iran have further depleted U.S. stocks of advanced air‑defense systems such as Patriot and THAAD. The reduction raises the risk to American forces and regional allies and adds pressure on U.S. political leaders ahead of upcoming elections.
