Intel briefing quietly contradicts the White House victory lap
U.S. officials told Congress in classified briefings this week that Iran still has roughly 50% of its ballistic missile program intact and an even larger share of its drone fleet, despite a week of relentless bombardment.
That's a problem, because the administration has been selling a very different story publicly.
CENTCOM's Admiral Cooper said missile launches were down 90% and drone attacks down 83%.
The White House framed Iran's military as "largely neutralized."
Trump said they've "lost everything."
Launches being down and capability being destroyed are two very different things.
Iran could be conserving what it has left, not running out.
One cheap drone from that "degraded" fleet killed six American reservists in Kuwait on day one.
If half the missile program and most of the drone arsenal are still operational after 2,000+ strikes, the math on a "four to five week" campaign starts looking very different.
And every member of Congress who just voted down the war powers resolution is now sitting on that information.
