The US citizenry is being lied to! And you’ve failed to stop it. Classified intelligence assessments from earlier this month indicate that "Iran has regained access to most of its missile sites, launchers and underground facilities," the N.Y. Times' Adam Entous, Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan report. • Why it matters: "The findings undercut months of public assurances from President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who have told Americans that the Iranian military was 'decimated' and 'no longer' a threat," The Times notes. The assessments say there's evidence that Iran restored operational access to 30 of the 33 missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz. • They suggest Iran has retained roughly 70% of its prewar missile stockpile and 70% of its mobile launchers. • It has regained access to about 90% of its underground missile storage and launch facilities.
