Iran is estimated to have the largest and most diverse ballistic missile arsenal in the Middle East, with over 3,000 ballistic missiles in total. According to US intelligence and several estimates, approximately 2,000 of these missiles are capable of reaching Israel. However, due to recent conflicts and Israeli strikes on missile launch sites and production facilities, the number has reportedly decreased. Israeli military sources estimated that before the recent conflicts, Iran had around 3,000 ballistic missiles, but after launching hundreds and losing others to airstrikes, the number was estimated to have dropped to about 2,000 missiles remaining. Other analyses suggest that Iran's remaining stockpile after some losses during conflicts is between 1,000 and 1,500 medium-range ballistic missiles. The ongoing conflict and Israeli operations have led to a degradation of Iran’s missile launch capacity and stockpile. Iran's ballistic missile arsenal includes a mix of liquid and solid-propellant missiles such as the Shahab-3, Ghadr, Emad, Khorramshahr, and the maneuverable Kheibar Shekan. Despite losses, Iran still retains a significant number of missiles and launchers, making it a formidable missile power in the region. In summary:
- Pre-conflict estimates: ~3,000 total ballistic missiles
- Post-conflict remaining stockpile estimates: between ~1,000 to 2,000 missiles
- The missile arsenal is diverse and includes various types capable of different ranges and targets.
