US intelligence agencies estimate that Iran still has between 1,500 and 2,500 missiles in its arsenal. The Wall Street Journal has published a report on the assessment.
Citing US officials, the newspaper reported that Iran retains sufficient missile capabilities to attack US and allied military bases and other strategic sites if a full-scale war resumes.
According to the report, however, determining the exact number of missiles in Iran’s possession is difficult. Officials said monitoring the missiles and gathering information about their actual condition pose significant challenges, making it difficult to establish an accurate figure.
US officials also have limited confidence in their estimates of how many of Iran’s missiles are ready for use and how many remain in storage. Nevertheless, they believe Iran still maintains a substantial missile stockpile.
Meanwhile, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has said that the uncertain situation between the United States and Iran cannot continue indefinitely.
“We will not remain in this uncertain state of neither war nor peace,” he said.
He also said that an agreement with the United States remained possible if Washington accepted Iran’s seven reasonable conditions.
“If the United States accepts our seven reasonable conditions, the path to an agreement will remain open. But if the US makes another mistake, the Iranian armed forces will determine the geography of the battlefield,” Ghalibaf warned.
