Is there any objective assessment of the level of degradation of Iran's capability as it clearly is someway South of the historically claimed 100%.

Got to think those nations declining the option to provide targets in the Strait have a bleaker view of current status.
This "matter has been brought to our attention" several times by Mr D J Trump with his assertion that Iran's forces "have been decimated" It is unfortunate that Mr Trump's personalised command of English prevents his understanding that, to"decimate", means "to reduce by one in ten" ...
... of such pedantry are errors made
