Iran can withstand the US naval blockade against it for three or four more months before facing severe economic hardship, the CIA told the Trump administration this week, according to a report by The Washington Post on Thursday.
The report also said the CIA has found that Tehran retains “significant ballistic missile capabilities” …
The CIA report flies in the face of public statements by the Trump administration, which has claimed that the vast majority of Iran’s drone and missile capabilities have been destroyed.
The US has said that Iran is running out of storage space for its oil…
Analysts have told MEE that Iran has “weeks” of storage space left.
Can anything out of Washington be trusted anymore? “The CIA report flies in the face of public statements by the Trump administration” the CIA is part of the Trump administration
Of course Trump and Satanyahu lied
I highly suggest listening to professor Jiang on the May 7th “diary of a ceo” podcast. What he said about all this scene seems pretty spot on.
