DIA Chief Tells Congress Iran Still Holds Thousands of Missiles and Drones

The director of the Defense Intelligence Agency told Congress that Iran's military still holds stockpiles of thousands of missiles and attack drones that continue to threaten U.S. and allied forces in the region, despite seven weeks of Israeli and American strikes. The sober assessment undercuts public claims by the administration that Iran is broken and the war is effectively over. It also explains why the Pentagon is maintaining the Strait of Hormuz blockade and why Gulf allies remain reluctant to commit to a formal ceasefire until Iran's residual strike capability is further degraded.
