US 'Solo Alcuni Sono Certi Di Aver Distrutto Un Terzo' Dei Missili Iraniani

Via Middle East Eye

La US è solo certa di aver distrutto circa un terzo dei missili iraniani, nonostante i commenti del Presidente Donald Trump che vantano di successi militari. Secondo cinque persone familiari con l'intelligence statunitense che hanno parlato con Reuters, lo stato di circa un altro terzo è meno chiaro. Tuttavia, gli attacchi US-israeliani hanno probabilmente danneggiato, distrutto o interrato quei missili in tunnel e bunker sotterranei.

Anche la capacità droni dell'Iran è probabilmente stata ridotta di un terzo, ha detto un'altra fonte. La valutazione, che arriva un mese dopo l'inizio dell'assalto US-israeliano all'Iran, suggerisce che Teheran conserva ancora una notevole capacità missilistica e la sua capacità di contrattaccare è tutt'altro che eliminata. In una riunione del gabinetto giovedì, Trump ha detto - mentre discuteva le opzioni per aprire lo Stretto di Hormuz - che il 99 percento dei missili iraniani era stato distrutto.

"Il problema con lo stretto è questo: diciamo che facciamo un ottimo lavoro. Diciamo di averne presi il 99 percento [dei suoi missili]. L'1 percento è inaccettabile, perché l'1 percento è un missile che colpisce lo scafo di una nave che costa un miliardo di dollari", ha detto.

Il Central Command statunitense finora non ha specificato quanto della capacità missilistica o droni iraniana sia stato distrutto nei suoi attacchi. Secondo funzionari militari israeliani, l'Iran aveva 2.500 missili balistici in grado di raggiungere Israele prima della guerra.

Finora, oltre 335 lanciamissili sono stati "neutralizzati", che rappresentano il 70 percento della capacità di lancio dell'Iran, ha detto un alto funzionario militare israeliano a Reuters.

Nel frattempo, i funzionari hanno avvertito che la US e Israele stanno "consumando" la loro fornitura di missili Tomahawk e intercettori.

Secondo funzionari che hanno parlato con The Washington Post, la US ha lanciato più di 850 missili da crociera Tomahawk nelle quattro settimane della sua guerra con l'Iran.

Solo poche centinaia di missili da crociera vengono prodotti ogni anno. Sebbene il Pentagono non divulghi pubblicamente le sue scorte, un funzionario ha detto all'emittente di notizie che il numero di Tomahawk rimasti in Medio Oriente è "allarmantemente basso".

Nonostante le risorse in diminuzione, un rapporto di Axios giovedì ha detto che il Dipartimento della Difesa statunitense stava redigendo piani per un "colpo finale" contro l'Iran che include truppe di terra e una massiccia campagna di bombardamenti. Il primo è invadere o bloccare l'isola di Kharg, da cui l'Iran esporta circa il 90 percento del suo petrolio. La US potrebbe anche impossessarsi di Larak, una piccola isola vicino all'isola di Qeshm, pesantemente fortificata dell'Iran. L'Iran ha reindirato le navi che attraversano lo Stretto di Hormuz a Larak, a quanto pare per controlli di sicurezza.

Segnali che l'Iran potrebbe tenere i suoi migliori missili in riserva.
FT: I missili più avanzati non sono ancora stati utilizzati, "possibilmente perché sono stati distrutti, possibilmente perché non sono ancora operativi, o possibilmente perché saranno utilizzati solo quando gli avversari avranno esaurito gli intercettori."👇 https://t.co/gIgu8DRAnf

La US sta anche valutando l'impossessamento di Abu Musa e di due isole più piccole. L'ex scià dell'Iran occupò Abu Musa nel 1971, pochi giorni prima dell'istituzione degli Emirati Arabi Uniti. Abu Dhabi rivendica Abu Musa e altre due isole vicine: Greater Tunb e Lesser Tunb. Inoltre, la US ha preso in considerazione l'impossessamento di navi che esportano petrolio iraniano attraverso lo Stretto di Hormuz.

"A 66-point gap between stated and confirmed destruction rates, combined with depleted US munitions stocks and plans requiring island seizure, signals escalation risk and potential supply-chain disruption rather than conflict resolution."

The article presents a credibility collapse at the top: Trump claims 99% destruction while his own intelligence says ~33% confirmed, another ~33% unclear. That's not a minor gap—it's a 66-point spread that signals either gross misrepresentation or intelligence failure. The real risk isn't Iran's remaining missiles; it's US/Israeli ammunition depletion (850 Tomahawks in 4 weeks, 'alarmingly low' stocks) combined with escalation plans requiring ground invasion of contested islands. This creates a two-front problem: insufficient munitions for sustained operations AND legal/diplomatic exposure if seizing Abu Musa (UAE-claimed territory). The article buries the most important detail: Iran may be reserving high-tech missiles, suggesting this conflict has multiple rounds ahead.

Avvocato del diavolo

If Iran's best missiles are held in reserve as a deterrent rather than a tactical choice, the US-Israel campaign may have successfully degraded Iran's *willingness* to escalate further, making the 33% destruction figure less militarily relevant than it appears. Trump's 99% claim, while hyperbolic, could reflect confidence that remaining Iranian capability poses minimal threat to core objectives.

"The US is facing a critical munitions depletion crisis that makes a prolonged conflict unsustainable without immediate, massive defense industrial base expansion."

The discrepancy between the White House's 99% destruction claim and intelligence reports of 33% suggests a massive intelligence-to-policy gap. From a defense sector perspective, the 'alarmingly low' Tomahawk stockpiles—850 fired in four weeks against a production rate of roughly 200-300 annually—create a critical supply chain bottleneck for RTX (formerly Raytheon). We are seeing a 'war of attrition' dynamic where Iran's low-cost asymmetric assets are depleting high-cost US interceptors. The proposed 'final blow' involving ground troops and island seizures (Kharg, Abu Musa) signals a transition from surgical strikes to a high-intensity regional conflict, threatening 20% of global oil transit and risking a massive inflationary shock.

Avvocato del diavolo

The 33% destruction figure might be a deliberate 'under-promise' by intelligence agencies to manage expectations, while the actual neutralization of 70% of launch capacity (per Israeli sources) is the more relevant metric for preventing retaliation.

"Depleted Tomahawk/interceptor inventories and sustained uncertainty about Iran's remaining missile capability make a near‑term boost to defense procurement and oil prices the most likely market outcome, favoring major defense contractors and large integrated oil producers."

This story raises a clear market thesis: rapid consumption of Tomahawk and interceptor inventories plus uncertainty about how many Iranian missiles remain creates a credible near‑term case for higher defense spending, emergency replenishment orders, and sustained oil‑price risk from Strait of Hormuz disruptions. That combination tends to lift prime defense contractors (Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Technologies, General Dynamics) and integrated oil producers (Exxon, Chevron) via higher margins and order visibility. Missing context: production lead times for cruise missiles and interceptors are long, allied inventories matter, and subterranean/unused Iranian systems could blunt strike effectiveness — all of which raise execution risk and timeline uncertainty.

Avvocato del diavolo

If de‑escalation occurs or allied stockpiles and ramped production cover shortfalls, the ‘emergency spending’ and oil spike may be brief; markets could price it in quickly. Also, if much of Iran's high‑end arsenal is intact and unused, the strategic situation — and thus defense upside — may be more muted than headlines imply.

"Hormuz island seizure plans amid US munitions depletion heighten risks to 20% of global oil supply, driving WTI toward $100/bbl."

This article exposes cracks in the US narrative of dominance: only 1/3 of Iran's ~2,500 missiles confirmed destroyed, 70% launchers neutralized but high-end ones possibly reserved, and US Tomahawk stocks 'alarmingly low' after 850 fired (vs. few hundred/year production). Escalation plans targeting Kharg Island (90% Iranian oil exports) and Hormuz chokepoints scream supply disruption risks for 20%+ of global oil. Defense firms like RTX/LMT face near-term strain but long-term replenishment windfall; broader equities risk-off amid prolonged war. Oil re-rating to $100/bbl WTI imminent if islands seized.

Avvocato del diavolo

US intel likely lowballs destruction for OPSEC, with underground bunkers hiding more hits than admitted; rapid Tomahawk ramp-up (Raytheon at full tilt) and Iran's depleted launchers blunt retaliation risks.

"Island seizure is tactically feasible but operationally costly; defense upside is real but backloaded 18+ months, leaving near-term oil shock risk unhedged by munition supply."

Grok and Gemini both anchor on $100 WTI if islands seized, but neither stress-tested feasibility. Kharg seizure requires sustained amphibious ops in contested waters—Iran's anti-ship missiles (Khalij Fars, Qader) are asymmetric but real. US Navy attrition risk here is material and underpriced. Also: RTX ramp assumes no supply-chain friction on guidance systems and solid-rocket motors. Lead times on those are 18-24 months. Emergency Tomahawk orders don't translate to Q3 inventory relief. That timeline gap matters for oil-price duration.

"Maritime insurance spikes will trigger a global oil supply shock faster than physical infrastructure destruction or munitions replenishment."

Claude flags the 18-24 month lead time for Tomahawks, but the real floor for oil isn't just supply disruption—it's the insurance market. If the US attempts to seize Kharg Island, Lloyd’s of London will likely declare the entire Persian Gulf a 'war zone,' effectively halting commercial shipping via prohibitive premiums before a single barrel is lost. This 'financial blockade' creates a global supply shock regardless of whether the US Navy successfully secures the islands.

"Insurance shocks are manageable historically; Iran's asymmetric naval tactics pose higher sustained US Navy diversion risk."

Gemini overplays insurance as an instant blockade—during the 1980s Tanker War, reflagged supertankers transited the Gulf amid 10x premium surges without halting 90% of flows. Today's risk is Iran's speedboat swarms and mines forcing prolonged US Navy commitments, diverting carriers from Pacific deterrence vs. China. That geostrategic opportunity cost for LMT (F-35 pivot) and broader S&P gets zero airtime.
