According to the agency, the fate of another third of the missiles remains uncertain — they may have been damaged, destroyed, or buried under rubble in bunkers and tunnels after airstrikes. One informant added that attacks by the US and Israel destroyed up to a third of the drones held by Tehran.
However, Reuters' sources emphasize that Iran retains significant stocks of missiles that could be used in the future. Moreover, after the hostilities, some of the damaged or hidden weaponry may be restored.
It is important to note that the US does not disclose exact figures regarding the size of Iran's missile arsenal at the onset of the conflict. At the same time, representatives of the Israeli military command had previously stated that Tehran could have around 2,500 ballistic missiles capable of reaching Israeli territory.
