Iran possesses a substantial arsenal of ballistic missiles, drones, and short-range rockets, enabling it to continue regional attacks despite military operations by Israel and the United States. American officials estimate Iran has between 1,500 and 2,500 ballistic missiles, a quantity sufficient to pose a significant threat to Israel, the U.S., and their allies in the Middle East. However, U.S. intelligence agencies assess the reliability of these figures as low, citing difficulties in accurately determining the number of operational missiles. The Wall Street Journal reported these assessments on Sunday, November 15. While Iran's missile production rate has slowed since the start of the war, the country continues to replenish its stockpiles. This ongoing replenishment, combined with its existing reserves of drones and short-range missiles, means Iran can still conduct military operations in the region. The article also notes that the U.S. is reportedly not rushing to launch further strikes, while Israel is considering alternative scenarios.
