Ammon News - The United States believes Iran has regained access to a majority of its missile sites, according to a New York Times report on Tuesday.

The NYT cited senior US officials, who warned that Iran's active missile sites include 30 along the Strait of Hormuz, posing a threat to US naval ships in the area.

According to the report, Iran can still use the missile stockpiles in non-operational sites by launching them with mobile launchers, with the country maintaining roughly 70% of its mobile launcher inventory.

The report additionally cited US military agencies, which claimed that 90% of Iranian underground missile facilities are at least partially operational.

In addition, Iran's current missile stockpile still stands at around 70% of its prewar stockpile, according to the NYT report.

WSJ: Iran retains ability to reactivate launchers
On April 11, The Wall Street Journal reported that Iran still retains thousands of short-range ballistic missiles and has the ability to reactivate their launchers, citing a US intelligence assessment.

The report came amid statements by US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that Iran's arsenal has been "depleted and decimated."

According to the WSJ, Iran's short and medium-range missile stockpile remains in the thousands despite a massive depletion since the start of Operation Epic Fury, with such missiles possibly able to be dug out of bombed storage sites, such as those mentioned in the Tuesday NYT report.

This suggests that Iran retains plenty of ammunition to hit its neighboring countries. Notably, The Jerusalem Post previously reported that Iran retains a maximum of 1,000 missiles that are capable of reaching Israel.
