CIA analysis suggests Iran can withstand U.S. naval blockade for months - WaPo

AKA Trump LIED about damage done to Iran

Quote

A confidential CIA analysis delivered to policymakers this week concludes that Iran can survive the current U.S. naval blockade for at least three to four months. This finding contradicts assertions of an imminent collapse, suggesting the regime may endure longer than some officials anticipated.

 

According to reporting from the Washington Post, citing a U.S. official, intelligence indicates Iran retains approximately 75% of its pre-war inventories of mobile launchers. The report further notes that the regime still holds about 70% of its pre-war missile stockpiles.

Iranian forces have also successfully recovered underground storage facilities and repaired damaged missiles. These internal assessments provide a stark contrast to recent public claims regarding the degradation of the nation’s military hardware.

This week, President Trump painted a more dire picture of the situation, stating that the Iranian economy is crashing and their currency is worthless. He further asserted that their missiles are mostly decimated as part of the administration's pressure campaign.

 

However, U.S. intelligence offers a much more sobering assessment of the Islamic Republic’s current capabilities. One U.S. official remarked that they believe Iran's capacity to sustain prolonged hardship is far greater than even the current CIA estimate.

"The leadership has gotten more radical, determined, and increasingly confident they can outlast U.S. political will and sustain domestic repression to check any resistance," the official said. The official added that similar regimes have historically lasted for years under sustained embargoes and airpower-only wars.

You're a FOOL if you believe ANYTHING the Trump admin says.

Tell us you don't know that they are pathological LIARS. All of them. KMAO

The ONLY time they might be relied upon to tell the truth is when they are testifying under oath.

Ah yes, of course, everyone is a liar that will be on record, but we must believe an anonymous source.

in other news, a confederate CIA mamalyst delivered to poultice makers this week concludes that Milan's summer weather won't last through winter. This cuntradicts assertions of a coming umbrella shortage which may last longer than some dogficials anticipated.

I'm surprised Trump and his Cabinet minions have not built a Nascar Track around the the Whitehouse so they can go around and round and round in circles and not even leave the office.

For Isreal.

This is nonsense.

 

The question is what degree of influence do they still retain.

Do they still get a vote?

............. post, any so-called agreed negotiation, Iran still retains the hammer in its ability to lob missiles into the strait. 

Daresay Xi is looking forward to the upcoming fireside chat with 'Donald' and even more so if the situation isn't resolved(???). 

Rumor is Xi is having a special chair constructed for the so-called,  leader of the free world - several inches shorter. 

Provides nuanced perspective. 😄 

Cluster fk, nay, Clown Show.

The funny thing about the Donnie 2 Dolls Show is that Trump talks a bunch of tough guy bullshit in the middle of the night instagram posts, but when it comes to talking manbaby to Chi or Putin he gives away the farm and thinks they respect him. This Clown show has been going on so long that I am out of tears laughing at the stupidity. And the reality is this a very, very dangerous man just because he is an uneducated idi@t trying to run the world.

The mossad reached out and asked me how I felt about Israel. I said I support Zionisism, but you picked a bad spot on the map geographically. That’s the last I heard from them haha
