Western intelligence estimates Iran retains at least 1,700 ballistic missiles and can produce 50 more monthly, despite U.S. and Israeli airstrikes. This production rate is half of its pre-war capacity, suggesting significant retaliatory capabilities remain. The assessment contrasts with U.S. claims of weakened Iranian missile power, though determining exact figures is difficult due to various uncertainties and potential Russian arms supplies.
