Iran is producing about 50 ballistic missiles a month, roughly half its prewar capacity, despite months of US and Israeli strikes targeting its military infrastructure, Bloomberg reports, citing a Western intelligence assessment.
Iran is believed to have at least 1,700 ballistic missiles remaining in its arsenal, according to a Western official familiar with military intelligence reports.
The assessment contrasts with US claims that Iran's missile production capabilities have been severely degraded. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that more than 80% of Iran's nuclear industrial base had been destroyed.
Bloomberg also reported that Iran may retain thousands of Shahed-type attack drones, although the exact size of its missile and drone stockpiles remains uncertain.
