Weeks of American and Israeli airstrikes inflicted grievous
losses on Iran’s military. Or so we thought.

Now, US intelligence assessments suggest that Iran retains 70
percent of the missiles and launch vehicles it had before the war
- including most of the sites threatening the Strait of
Hormuz.

Holly Dagres joins Roland Oliphant and Sophia Yan to unpack the
implications. She also explains why Iran’s hardliners are
unlikely to listen to China’s leader Xi Jinping, have stepped up
execution of opponents and alleged spies at home, and are
nose-diving the economy with a crippling internet black out. This
is the latest from Donald Trump’s war against Iran – which will
overshadow his summit later this week with Xi.
