According to the Pentagon, the strikes were aimed at disrupting Iran's ability to launch precision-guided missiles, a key concern for US national security. However, a former White House adviser is challenging this assessment, dismissing the idea that the US has effectively crippled Iran's missile capabilities as a "pipe dream". The adviser's skepticism raises questions about the true extent of the damage and whether the US has successfully addressed the threat posed by Iran's missile program.
