- Senior officials cited by Bloomberg stated Iran still possesses ballistic and anti-ship missiles.
- Russia is reportedly supplying Iran with additional missiles, according to the report.
- The findings contradict U.S. President Donald Trump's claims of destroying Iran's military capabilities.

Despite months of American and Israeli airstrikes, Iran has managed to preserve its missile and drone production facilities, allowing it to replenish its weapons stockpiles, according to senior officials familiar with the matter who spoke to Bloomberg. These sources indicated that Iran still possesses ballistic missiles and anti-ship missiles, and is capable of rapidly increasing its inventory. The report also noted that Russia is supplying Tehran with additional missiles.
These assessments contradict claims made by U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration, who asserted that eight months of strikes had eliminated Iran's ability to threaten American bases in the region and Washington's allies. Trump has repeatedly stated that the Iranian military has been "destroyed." Additionally, Trump clarified this week that the U.S. does not intend to attack Iran before the upcoming midterm elections.
In response to the report, Deputy White House Spokesperson Anna Kli stated, "First, President Trump completely destroyed Iran's nuclear facilities during Operation Midnight Hammer, and then, in Operation Wrath of God, he destroyed the conventional shield Iran tried to create over its nuclear program, including its ballistic missiles, production facilities, and navy."
