Iran has 1,500-2,500 missiles despite US claims of ‘decimated’ arsenal: Report

Iran may have between 1,500 and 2,500 missiles left in its arsenal, according to a US intelligence assessment. That suggests Tehran still has substantial capacity to strike American and allied forces if full-scale war resumes.US officials told the Wall Street Journal the estimate carries uncertainty, since it is hard to track how many missiles are launch-ready and how many sit in storage.

Even so, they said Iran retains a formidable stockpile.Although US and Israeli strikes damaged Iran's missile-production facilities, Tehran has continued rebuilding its arsenal, largely using stockpiled components. However, the process has been slower than before the war, officials said.Iran also retains a large number of drones and short-range missiles.According to WSJ, the assessment contrasts with statements by US administration officials, including President Donald Trump, that Iran's military capabilities had been decimated.
