The US-Iran war that started on February 28 continues. US officials, including statements by President Donald Trump, indicate that the war will last for some time.
Regarding this, US leader Donald Trump gave a clear message to the media in a statement yesterday. He noted that the US operation will conclude within 2-3 weeks and that this will not depend on whether Iran reaches an agreement with Washington or not.
Iran, on the other hand, continues its resistance thanks to its missile potential.
According to Medianews.az citing Modern.az, several sources familiar with US intelligence data have reported that the status of about one-third of Iran's missiles is unclear. They noted that after the bombings, these missiles were either damaged, destroyed, or hidden in bunkers and tunnels. According to intelligence information, Iran still has a significant missile reserve. The US has not disclosed intelligence data on how many missiles Iran might have at the beginning of the war. Israeli military officials, however, have stated that before the war began, Tehran had 2,500 ballistic missiles capable of reaching Israeli territory. Currently, the number of these missiles is reported to be less than a thousand.
US President Donald Trump, in one of his speeches, stated that Iran has very few missiles left.
"We say that we have destroyed 99% of their missiles. One percent is unacceptable, because even 1% means a missile capable of hitting a billion-dollar ship," the US president said regretfully.
However, the Israeli army believes that about 70% of the missile launchers located on its territory have been destroyed during the war. "However, destroying the remaining 30% of the systems will be 'difficult'," it was noted.
Recall that Israel and the US started the war against Iran on the morning of February 28 and conducted massive attacks on targets within the country. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, along with many high-ranking officials and security workers, were killed. After Ali Khamenei, his 56-year-old son Mojtaba Khamenei came to power.
