Or will this assessment be dismissed as fake news because the war’s been won already, except for the Strait of Hormuz closure, which we don’t need allies for even though we might leave NATO because they didn’t show up?Haley Britzky (@halbritz)NEW: Roughly half of Iran’s missile launchers are still intact and thousands of one-way attack drones remain in Iran’s arsenal despite the daily pounding by US and Israeli strikes against military targets over the past five weeks, according to recent US intelligence assessments, three sources familiar with the intel told CNN.
