Iran Reportedly Still Has Between 1,500 and 2,500 Missiles, US Assessments Say

In depth

According to US intelligence assessments, Iran still holds a stockpile of between 1,500 and 2,500 missiles. The assessment contradicts statements by President Donald Trump and senior members of his administration that Iran's military capabilities have been destroyed.

The US is not certain of the figures, but Iran has an impressive stockpile of missiles. The damage inflicted on the US led it to move military assets to Israel, because it is safer there.

Tehran has managed to rebuild part of its missile arsenal using components stored in warehouses and by regaining access to damaged underground facilities. In Israel, it is estimated that the regime still has more than 1,500 ballistic missiles.
