US intelligence says Iran can outlast Trump's Hormuz blockade for months, Washington Post reports

News detail

A confidential US intelligence assessment says Iran could withstand a US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz for 90–120 days, and possibly longer, according to WaPo citing sources.  Finds Iran still retains much of its missile and drone arsenal despite sustained US and Israeli strikes, suggesting its military capacity remains significant. While the White House claims the blockade is causing severe economic damage, the assessment concludes Tehran has enough resilience and workarounds, such as oil stockpiles and alternative smuggling routes, to avoid immediate collapse.
