US officials have assessed that Iran currently possesses between 1,500 and 2,500 ballistic missiles, though American intelligence agencies acknowledge uncertainty in these figures. The assessment underscores Iran’s substantial and growing military arsenal, according to reports citing sources in both Jerusalem and Washington.
According to the Wall Street Journal, damage sustained by US assets has prompted American military relocation of assets to Israel, as the country is deemed safer. This reflects heightened concerns about Iranian military capabilities and their regional reach.
