Open-source intelligence hasn’t documented a verified drop in Iran’s operational long-range ballistic missile inventory. There is no public, corroborated proof that the stockpile has shrunk. U.S. defense planning still treats Iran’s missile capacity as stable or growing. This view relies on observed launches, production indicators, and regional testing. Without established depletion, there is no strategic significance to claim. U.S. planning variables remain anchored in demonstrated capability, not unsubstantiated reductions.
