American intelligence believes that Iran has some 1,500-2,500 missiles, and the apparent size of the arsenal has impacted Trump administration's decision on whether to resume strikes on the Islamic Republic, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing officials.

The officials told the newspaper that it is 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 report says Israeli officials believe Tehran has over 1,500 ballistic missiles.

On Friday, Deputy Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Major General Mostafa Izadi, said Iranian forces were capable of launching missiles equipped with two-ton warheads at targets 1,500 kilometres away.

Last Saturday, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it has lifted its self-imposed 2,000km limit on the range of its ballistic missiles.
