    — 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: A confidential CIA assessment delivered to the White House this week concludes that Iran can survive the U.S. naval blockade for at least 3 to 4 months before facing severe economic hardship

    U.S. intel also indicates that Iran retains about 75% of its pre-war inventories of mobile launchers (TELs) and about 70% of its pre-war stockpiles of ballistic missiles, per a U.S. official. The regime has also been able to recover underground storage facilities and repair damaged missiles. – Washington Post

    Speculation

    Personally I’m a bit skeptical of this claim. I don’t think the US has demonstrated to a sufficient level that they have the intelligence necessary to make these claims. I’m not sure if it accounts for ways Iran might be trying to circumvent the blockade.
