We can simply look at the amount of missiles fired at the beginning of the war vs how many they’re firing now.


Wait, this is how you are coming to the assessment that they are almost out of missiles? How many do you think they had at the start of the war and how many do you think they have now? The minimum Ive read would be around 1500 missiles left and around 20000 drones. But that is the low end estimates. Higher end would be around 2500-3000 missiles and closer to 40000 drones.

Yes. At the onset of the war they were firing upwards of 400 missiles a day. Now it’s maybe 10-20. They’re missile stocks are greatly depleted and those are lot harder to replace than their drone fleet is.

Most of the rhetoric coming out in Iran is meant for the Iranian people to hear.Just like when Saddam said they had wmds to scare his adversaries,he didn’t have any.The govt of Iran needs its people to think they are in control ,even though they aren’t.

About the missile stocks, are we sure no one is helping them restock (China, Russia, North Korea, etc.) or are they able to manufacture much on their own?

Riiiiiight, some slapdickraghead is announcing ahead of time, Iran is "considering "

Might be the dumbest thing I've ever read.

I read that Iran is also considering storming America and taking control of the entire continent

That is not a really great way to asses their current stocks. Whatever stock pile they have left is pretty much all the leverage they have left so it would make sense to be judicious in use. Also for a variety of reasons their precision and ability to evade air defenses keeps improving so they use less. They were able to penetrate the Patriot and THADD systems in Jordan with just a few drones and missiles. . We have a pretty good idea how many they had prior to the war and we know how many they have fired so I think its fare to say they may not be "greatly depleted".... but again you want to throw out numbers ?..because phrases like greatly depleted and nearly gone are nebulous.

Drones probably some , ballistic missiles and launchers...much less likely.
