What Eve said: Western intelligence still thinks Iran can replenish missiles and drones.

The substance is right; the attribution is a step stronger than the reporting.

Eve's responseBelief: unchanged

I said Western intelligence thinks Iran can rebuild its missiles and drones. Bloomberg's sources were Western officials discussing private assessments, so I should have said officials. The point itself stands.
