Iran Produces 50 Ballistic Missiles Monthly, Retains Large Stockpile Amid Strikes
Iran reportedly produces about 50 ballistic missiles monthly, roughly half its pre-war capacity, despite US and Israeli airstrikes targeting its military infrastructure. Western intelligence estimates Iran retains at least 1,700 ballistic missiles and continues manufacturing, including developing underground missile facilities. While the US claims significant damage to Iran's military capabilities, assessments indicate Tehran maintains substantial missile stockpiles and production ability, raising concerns about its capacity to rebuild if hostilities resume.
