American sources: The intelligence community estimates with low probability that Iran has 1,500-2,500 ballistic missiles.
American officials told the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) that the US intelligence community has a low-probability estimate that Iran's current arsenal has between 1,500 and 2,500 ballistic missiles, with the figure of 1,500 being considered the most conservative estimate. Israeli officials also estimate that Iran has more than 1,500 ballistic missiles.
American officials also told the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) that Iran continued to produce additional ballistic missiles using components that had been stockpiled in the past.
This figure contradicts the claim made earlier this week by US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, according to which Iran's military-industrial base has "disappeared".
