According to Reuters, only about one-third of Iran's missiles have been destroyed by US forces after a month-long war that also damaged or buried another third within underground bunkers and tunnels. This assessment contradicts President Trump's claim that "very few rockets" remain while noting the stockpile is still sizeable despite being largely inaccessible for immediate use, even as Israel continues to target missile caches in its aerial campaign against Iran.
