Rubio: Iran has retained half of its missile stockpile

The Islamic Republic of Iran has expended approximately half of the missile potential it possessed before the start of the military operation by the United States and Israel.

Such a statement was made by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

"Now they have half of their missiles left," he said in an interview with Fox News.

The head of the American foreign policy department also claimed that Tehran no longer has production capacities or naval forces.

The United States and Israel began a war against Iran on February 28. On April 7, American President Donald Trump announced a two-week mutual ceasefire with the Islamic Republic. According to Iranian sources, over the 40 days of war, 3,375 Iranians were killed as a result of American-Israeli strikes. On April 11, Tehran and Washington held talks in Islamabad, but the parties failed to reach an agreement on the issue of long-term conflict resolution due to a number of disagreements. On April 21, the U.S. President announced his intention to extend the ceasefire regime with Iran. As reported by Iranian state television, Tehran does not intend to recognize the unilaterally declared extension of the ceasefire regime by Washington and will act in accordance with its own interests.
