US intelligence believes Iran could still have up to 2,500 missiles – report

US intelligence believes that Iran has some 1,500-2,500 ballistic missiles, officials told The Wall Street Journal according to a Saturday report, which was published hours before Iran carried out a drone attack targeting a US base in the Gulf.

The officials told the US outlet that the missile figure was a “low-confidence assessment” given the difficulties in tracking Tehran’s munitions, but that it was clear that the regime still possessed a large number of missiles.

The Journal reported that the apparent size of Iran’s arsenal has impacted the decision-making process within US President Donald Trump’s administration as to whether the Islamic Republic should be attacked.

The report said Israeli officials also believe Tehran has over 1,500 ballistic missiles.

While Iran’s missile stockpiles and means of production were hit during fighting with Israel and the US, an Israeli official said that Tehran is getting ready for further conflict.

They are rebuilding, rearming,” the official told the Journal.

Last week, Iran unveiled a new underground “missile city.” At the time, an unnamed Western official speaking to Bloomberg cited intelligence reports that found that though Iran’s conventional military was mostly destroyed by the joint US-Israel air campaign, it likely has at least 1,700 ballistic missiles left and is making up to 50 more per month.

US President Donald Trump has reportedly told senior advisers in recent days that he may hold off on attacking Iran if the US faces no new provocations from Tehran or the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen.***

Meanwhile, blasts rang out over Bahrain early on Sunday as Iran said it attacked a US military base in the Gulf nation, which has been heavily targeted during the Middle East war.

These are the results of a so-called “ceasefire” with Iran or any Muslim fanatics.

Should have DECIMATED them when you had them reeling but no....make room for negotiations they said...fools, fools.
