Iran maintains an arsenal of approximately 1,500 to 2,500 missiles, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal citing U.S. officials. This estimated stockpile allows Iran to conduct significant attacks against Israel, the United States, and its regional allies. American intelligence agencies assess this estimate with low confidence due to the difficulty in accurately gauging Tehran's remaining missile reserves and their readiness for launch. However, officials believe Iran's military capabilities remain substantial.
The report indicates that Iran continues to replenish its missile supplies, though the current production rate is considerably lower than pre-war levels. Additionally, Iran possesses large quantities of drones and short-range missiles, enabling it to sustain attacks across the Middle East. This comes as uncertainty remains regarding potential further U.S. strikes against Iran.
