Hegseth's key Iran claim collapses as US intel finds Iran has thousands of missiles
One of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's main defenses of the U.S. decision to negotiate a controversial ceasefire with Iran is that its ballistic missile program has been "functionally destroyed."
But that claim has now been shot down by U.S. intelligence assessments, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.
"Iran still has thousands of ballistic missiles in its arsenal that it could use by retrieving launchers from underground storage areas, according to American officials familiar with U.S. intelligence assessments," said the report. "The assessments come as the U.S. is working to cement a cease-fire that would fully open the Strait of Hormuz and also insulate Iran, American troops and states in the region from further attacks. Some American officials said they are concerned that Iran will use the break in fighting to reconstitute some of its missile arsenal."
