What Happens After Iran Exhausts Its Missile Stockpiles?

 

The world is indeed anxiously watching the volatile situation between Iran and Israel unfold. Iran possesses one of the largest missile arsenals in the Middle East, built over decades to offset its lack of modern airpower. 

However, missile stockpiles—no matter how large—are finite. If Iran were to engage in prolonged missile warfare, especially against a technologically superior adversary like Israel, backed implicitly or explicitly by the U.S., it could quickly deplete its missile reserves. This exhaustion would leave Iran exposed strategically. Once their primary deterrent is spent, Iran may face limited military options and could be forced to rely on asymmetric tactics—like cyber warfare, proxy militias (such as Hezbollah or Houthis), and guerilla-style retaliation across the region. It could also push Iran toward diplomatic engagement out of necessity, or worse, escalate toward more desperate measures, including the potential pursuit or display of nuclear capability if they feel existentially threatened. 

Meanwhile, global powers, particularly Russia and China, might step in politically or logistically, seeing both opportunity and risk in the vacuum that would follow. The aftermath of such an escalation could trigger broader regional instability, refugee crises, and a shift in the power balance in the Middle East.

Withall,Iran still can give surprises just she had done now by its missile attacks on Israeli on daily basis, so it couldnot be predicted how far Iran stands against Israel if China and Russia for their own interests not to allow America to stepin this region close to the proximity of China and Russia.

Still if it is presumed that war prolongs, it will not be bearable for both the economies.
