The Missile Reality Check: Why War with Iran Could Break Israel’s Missile Shield

Brandon J. Weichert

Iran has the largest stockpile of ballistic missiles in the Middle East today. At a time when the Israel-American military alliance appears poised to enact what will likely be the apotheosis of their long-term campaign of regime change against the Islamic Republic of Iran, the regime in Tehran is sitting on the region’s largest missile arsenals.

It’s Hard to Imagine the Scale of Iran’s Missile Threat. And it isn’t only missiles that comprise this massive, relatively unused missile threat. This includes hypersonic weapons against which there are no known defenses. With the strike window on Iran now open, as the US maintains a growing armada off the coast of Iran, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed his belief that Israel could take more than 700 missile strikes—if it meant the hated Islamic regime in Iran would be destroyed on the other end.
