Iran can withstand US naval blockade for 3-4 months

A classified US intelligence analysis estimates that Iran would be able to withstand a US naval blockade for at least three to four months before facing serious economic hardship.

According to reports from the Washington Post , the CIA document, delivered this week to policymakers in the Donald Trump administration, is based on assessments by the US intelligence community on Tehran's economic and military capabilities in the event of escalation.

The analysis also highlights that, despite weeks of intense bombing by the United States and Israel, Iran continues to maintain significant ballistic missile capabilities.

A US official quoted in the report states that Tehran retains about 75% of its pre-conflict reserves in mobile launchers, as well as approximately 70% of its stockpile of missiles.

According to him, there are also indications that Iran has managed to recover and reopen almost all underground storage facilities, repair some of the damaged missiles, and even complete the assembly of missiles that were in advanced stages of production at the beginning of the conflict.

The report highlights that, despite military strikes, Iran's strategic capabilities still remain considerable.
