Iran has found a way to make missiles again
Iran has resumed assembling ballistic missiles at underground facilities after strikes by the US and Israel. Production is taking place at the Khodjir complex, with rates still below pre-war levels due to destroyed factories and a naval blockade. Tehran is assembling liquid-fuel and solid-fuel missiles, and from available components, several hundred missiles can be assembled.
Iran has resumed assembling ballistic missiles at underground facilities after massive strikes by the US and Israel on the country's military infrastructure. This is reported by The Wall Street Journal, citing sources in Washington and the Middle East. Production has resumed at the underground Khodjir complex in the southeast of the country. Tehran is simultaneously producing two types of missiles: liquid-fuel and solid-fuel. Production rates are still below pre-war levels. Some Iranian factories were put out of action by the strikes, and the situation is complicated by a naval blockade that hinders the import of raw materials for solid rocket fuel. According to a US official, Iran may have deliberately limited production volumes as part of agreements with US President Donald Trump on opening the Strait of Hormuz and negotiations to end the war. At the same time, from the components already available to Tehran, at least several hundred ballistic missiles can be assembled.
