Meanwhile, the US is once again declaring that Iran has lost the ability to threaten its military.
Iran still has the capacity to produce munitions and has significant quantities of ballistic and anti-ship weapons in its stockpiles, despite US President Donald Trump’s claims, Bloomberg reports , citing sources.
Journalists cited a Western official as saying that Iran continues to receive missiles from Russia. Thus, the publication’s source confirmed the assessments of bilateral relations between Russia and Iran made this summer. However, Moscow itself has not confirmed this information.
According to the publication, such Iranian capabilities could indicate the likelihood of renewed hostilities in the Middle East, especially if Trump resumes strikes against Iran after the US midterm elections. However, the White House continues to deny the possibility of Iran attacking US bases. Specifically, on September 30, Trump stated that the US had “destroyed Iran’s military-industrial potential and its entire defense base.”
“First, President Trump destroyed Iran’s nuclear facilities in Operation Midnight Hammer. Then, Operation Epic Fury successfully destroyed the conventional shield Iran had tried to erect over its nuclear program. Their ballistic missiles, production facilities, and naval fleet were destroyed,” White House Press Secretary Anna Kelly said.
Western officials cited by the publication also believe Iran still has sufficient forces to attack American troops. Furthermore, the journalists note, Tehran may be interested in resuming strikes amid economic problems due to the US blockade.
Experts note the danger Iran’s anti-ship missiles pose to Washington. As William Alberk, a senior fellow at the Pacific Forum, noted, the US hasn’t yet seen the “tip of the iceberg” regarding Tehran’s capabilities to strike ships.
“The actual stockpile of anti-ship missiles likely remains significant because they are relatively easy to manufacture. Iran hosts a significant portion of the production of older Chinese anti-ship missiles, and Iran’s southern mountains provide natural cover from air attack,” added Sidharth Kaushal, a senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute.
The situation in the Middle East: what is known
As a reminder, in early October, it was announced that the US had already sent a third aircraft carrier and 10,000 troops to the Middle East. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has stated that he does not plan to resume hostilities with Iran in the month leading up to the parliamentary elections. However, the publication believes that the US may resume strikes on Tehran after the vote.
Meanwhile, Axios reports that the US held secret talks with Qatari officials to discuss the possibility of ending hostilities in the Middle East. According to the journalists, Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia are also involved in this process.

The US lifts sanctions on russian oil which helps mafia land to produce more weapons, some of which are sent to Iran to kill US troops.
Taco is the worst traitor and the worst business man.
Just watching a video from Canada. The presenters are saying that the US only has to increase diesel imports by 4% from Canada, and it would equal the amount that mafia land are so-called sending. Smart business sense from the legendary bankrupt king.
Taco is so twisted, depraved, and loony, that he’ll do anything to harm Canada – once our best friend – and help mafia land – our traditional worst enemy.
