The country still has thousands of attack drones in its arsenal and about half of its launch pads used for missile attacks, according to the data.

They are still fully capable of causing complete devastation throughout the region, one of the sources said of Iran.

However, the intelligence assessment may include launch pads that are currently inaccessible to Iran, for example, buried under rubble but not destroyed, writes CNN.

The White House denies the reports, with spokesperson Anna Kelly claiming that “anonymous sources are desperate to attack President Trump and denigrate the incredible work of the United States.” She instead refers to previous American claims that Iranian attacks have dropped by 90 percent and that the country’s fleet has been destroyed.

The intelligence comes just a day after US President Donald Trump said in a speech to the nation that the war in Iran is going as planned and is nearing an end. The president has also said that Iran will be “taken back to the Stone Age.”

On Friday night, the Israeli military stated on Telegram that the country was once again being subjected to Iranian missile attacks.
