Strait Of Hormuz For Months: Report​

The intelligence analysis also allegedly concluded Tehran still retains major missile capabilities despite Trump's claims otherwise. A recent confidential intelligence analysis concluded Iran can endure the Trump administration’s naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz for several months before facing more severe economic consequences, four people familiar with the assessment told The Washington Post on Thursday.

The CIA analysis was reportedly delivered to policymakers this week, as the administration tries to convince the public the war has been an overwhelming victory for the U.S. and that the blockade on the major shipping channel has significantly hurt Iran.

The president claimed Wednesday the U.S. and Israel have “mostly decimated” Iran’s missiles. But according to the Post, the CIA analysis concluded Tehran retains about 75% of its prewar inventory of mobile launchers and about 70% of prewar missile stockpiles — even assembling new missiles that were almost done when the U.S. and Israel launched the war.

No matter what Trump says, Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz, and in doing is choking off 20% of the world's oil. His, "Operation Freedom" was a total failure. Iran is NOT backing down. So far, Trump has failed. He is wrecking the economy all for sake of a country that is NOT afraid of a country that is laughing in his face.

Good luck with all that when they have to cap their wells and get 50% or less production out of them when they uncap them.....They can only store so much crude....Tick-Tock.

What have I been telling you repeatedly the last 68 days ?
There is no war .
It is all Theatre at the top .

The point is --- control of Oil to delay US bankruptcy.
Not that Deep State will care a flying fig how many millions or even more will die or near starve in poverty as a direct consequence .

As for Americans and their party politics .
Thick as planks and twice as stupid .

CIA says...lol.. Seems like you believe the CIA when it's convenient.

These charts show how Iran's economy is in freefall

Tehran's hardline rhetoric belies a brutal reality facing the regime and Iranian citizens: its economy, vulnerable even before the war, is now in tatters.
