— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 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.
Didn’t they say 50% of the launchers were destroyed a week or two ago? They are just making up numbers.
