The countries of Persian Gulf they will no longer protect them United States. This was assured by the Iranian supreme leader Mojataba Khamenei in the message for the Hajj. “The nations and territories of the region they will no longer serve as a shield for US bases.

Although the United States have sunk most of Iran’s conventional navy, i guards they still have hundreds of small fast boats which can be used to lay mines in the Strait.

The Iranian firing line along the Strait

Informed sources say that, depending on the level of damage suffered by different sites, the Iranians may use mobile launchers to move missiles to other positions, but also launch directly from ramps. Senior US military officials have also expressed concern about the American stocks extremely low of long-range missiles and other heavy munitions – precisely the weapons needed to destroy Iran’s fortified underground missile sites.

The Pentagon’s strategy

Instead of aiming for total destruction, the Pentagon opted for lighter munitions intended to seal off access to those sites, officials said, and the Iranians proved more adept at unearthing them than the Pentagon expected. Iran still maintains an estimated 70 percent of its mobile launchers and has retained about 70 percent of its pre-war missile arsenal of both ballistic missiles capable of hitting other nations in the region and a smaller number of cruise missiles that can be used against short-range land and naval targets.
