Iran continues to produce missiles. At least 1,700 still in its arsenal?

The information was provided by an anonymous Western official, citing intelligence reports. The assessments indicate that the current production rate is approximately half its pre-war level. The strikes have therefore reduced the capabilities of Iran’s missile industry but have not brought production to a complete halt.

The estimated figure of 1,700 missiles refers to the remaining arsenal. However, this does not mean that all of them are ready for immediate use. The reports provide neither a detailed breakdown by missile type nor a comprehensive assessment of launcher availability.

The reports also highlight the costs of defending against Iranian attacks. According to the information cited, at least 1,000 Patriot interceptor missiles were used to counter missiles targeting US forces and their allies in the Middle East.

The figures concerning Iran’s missile stockpiles and production remain intelligence assessments disclosed through media reports. They do not constitute a publicly available, independently verified inventory of Iran’s weapons. Nevertheless, they indicate that, despite its losses, Tehran may retain substantial capabilities to launch further missile attacks.
