Iran Resumes Ballistic Missile Production at Underground Facilities Amid Conflict
Intelligence reports indicate Iran has resumed assembling ballistic missiles using stockpiled components at underground facilities, including the Khojir site near Tehran. Despite damage to its missile infrastructure from US and Israeli attacks, Iran is rebuilding production capabilities for both liquid- and solid-fuel missiles, though at reduced levels compared to before the conflict. Efforts include developing new underground sites to protect production. This challenges claims that Iran's military capacity has been significantly degraded during the ongoing conflict.
