According to US intelligence estimates, Iran has between 1,500 and 2,500 ballistic missiles in its arsenal. This indicates that Tehran has restored more than half of its pre-war missile stockpile, The Wall Street Journal reports.
According to the report, Iran is expanding its missile arsenal mainly using components it had previously stockpiled. Although US and Israeli strikes destroyed the entrances to missile storage facilities, satellite imagery shows that Iran has reopened some facilities and retrieved missiles.
US intelligence emphasizes that the figures are not exact and that determining Iran's missile stockpiles is difficult.
Nevertheless, this assessment contradicts US President Donald Trump's statement that 85% of Iran's missile arsenal had been destroyed.
Israeli officials also believe that Iran possesses more than 1,500 ballistic missiles.
