Iran has retained approximately 75 percent of its prewar inventory of mobile missile launchers and 70 percent of its missile stockpiles, according to a U.S. official. The official claimed there is also evidence that Iran has reopened nearly all of its underground missile storage facilities, repaired some missiles, and finished assembling missiles which had been in the process of production before the war. U.S. President Donald Trump claimed publicly that Iran retained only 18 or 19 percent of its prewar missile stocks.
