## Key points

- US intelligence estimates Iran has 1,500 to 2,500 missiles.
- The low-confidence estimate may shape decisions on renewed US strikes.
- Iran says it has lifted its 2,000-kilometre missile range limit.

## Summary

US intelligence estimates that Iran has between 1,500 and 2,500 missiles, a potentially significant factor in the Trump administration’s decision on whether to resume strikes. The assessment suggests Tehran retains a large arsenal, though officials say confidence is low because its munitions are difficult to track.

Israeli officials reportedly estimate Iran has more than 1,500 ballistic missiles. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards deputy commander Mostafa Izadi said Iranian forces could fire missiles carrying two-tonne warheads at targets 1,500 kilometres away. The IRGC has also said it lifted its self-imposed 2,000-kilometre range limit for ballistic missiles.
