U.S. intelligence agencies estimate that Iran possesses between 1,500 and 2,500 missiles, according to a "Wall Street Journal" report citing informed sources. This suggests Tehran retains a significant capacity for missile attacks against American and allied targets should a full-scale war erupt. However, the newspaper noted that these estimates are based on low confidence due to the difficulty in precisely determining the number of missiles Iran has, whether ready for launch or in storage. The report indicates that Tehran continues to rebuild its arsenal, albeit at a slower pace than before the war, and still maintains substantial numbers of drones and short-range missiles. An Israeli military official told the newspaper that despite severe damage sustained during the war, Iran is continuing to rebuild its military capabilities, enhance its arsenal, and arm itself in preparation for a large-scale conflict.
