The Trump administration’s public portrayal of a shattered Iranian military is sharply at odds with what U.S. intelligence agencies are telling policymakers behind closed doors, according to classified assessments from early this month that show Iran has regained access to most of its missile sites, launchers and underground facilities.

Maybe. For a few more days until they are once again obliterated.

Just how secret is it once it's in the nyt?
How do they know about this "secret"?
Seems to me, somewhere along the line somebody has betrayed somebody's trust.
First thing is it instills distrust in the nyt. Based on their past, I am not unreasonable.

You make up any garbage as a means of avoiding the truth .
You were told on Day One that Israel and the US Zionists would run out of munitions way before the Cheeky Chappies .
This Fake Cease Fire is simply a means of letting the losers catch up on their better prepared opponent .
You hate the thought that Tehran is far smarter than you imagined .
Although I have told you that many times as a lone voice right from the start .

Iran has prepared for this war for forty years.

To hell with these abusive animals who murder their own citizens and treat women like dogs. Trump needs to send his team to the U.N and make a spectacle of the China-First Europeans who refuse to stand up to Iran. Call out the worlds silence.

The real reason there is war today is because the U.N never cared to hold Iran to account as they did not want to upset China.

They did not need 60% enrichment level, that goes well beyond peaceful purposes. Their acknowledgement of this nuclear fusion material confirms their intention.
