The Legend
Grossly exaggerated number to make Iran look like a massive threat for the planet so that it justifies an attack on Iran

He wants to say you have zero conventional chance against Iran. Your chance is only non conventional.

Good points. But there are some issues.
The attack launched by IRGC was a declaration of war. Brazenly firing hundreds of BM into another territory is not a joke.
But there is this issue. How many devastating impacts on military bases? Does it hinder Israeli military activities? Can Israel absorb these (for now) ?
How many direct impacts on civilian infrastructure and how many civilian deaths?
The last part is extremely important for Israel.
Just like the April attack where 0 Israelis died perhaps Israel can ignore this one too while working on the big fish (Hezbollah).
Just as Pezeshkian said the missile strike actually had a message of ceasefire/peace.

Not anymore, their special privileges have been revoked. The best part of it all the ultra orthodox have labeled the country as anti-semitic for this change in policy.

Maybe he counted short range rackets too

The Legend
He mentions "ballistic missiles"
Even if you count the Fajr/Nazeat rockets, 500K is a huge number, this would mean that Iran has more missiles than China and Russia together
This is a fearmongering number

With the calculation of short-range rockets, it is not a strange number for Iran

Iran spent the last 25 years building missiles instead of buying/producing planes.
500K is a huge number but theoretically possible.

I thinks its even more than that.

He could have taken short range rockets of MRLS and short caliber rockets, but this is erroneous to take them into account as "ballistic missiles", more like "missiles and rockets of all caliber"
Pompeo is well known for his absurd claims on Iran to make it look like Iran is about to destroy the planet with missiles imminently if the savior US army doesn't stop Iran from doing it

Iran made the right choice.
It can't compete against the combined efforts of the west when it comes to air superiority. That is of course true and well done to them.
Iran therefore decided to change the playing field itself. Israel will defend itself on Irans terms.

Simple maths says:
25 years = 300 months
500000 / 300 = 1666.67
So what Pompeo said is that Iran is producing 1666.67 missile (in addition to what it used for training and other lauches) every month since last 25 years.
Also if each BM cost around 600 thousand than the cost will be 1 billion every month and 300 billion in 25 years.
Rest people here can judge by themselves.
