Iran Rebuilds Missile Plants after June War with Israel
Iran is rebuilding missile sites damaged by Israeli strikes but lacks key planetary mixers needed for solid-fuel production, after firing over 570 ballistic missiles in recent conflict, experts say.
- This month, satellite images analyzed by The Associated Press show construction at Parchin and Shahroud, indicating Iran is rapidly rebuilding missile-production sites struck by Israel.
- Faced with weakened air defenses, Iran sees missiles as a core deterrent, and missile experts say obtaining large mixers is a priority as Tehran prepares for possible United Nations sanctions later this month.
- Technical analysis shows successive range and guidance gains across the Khorramshahr family, with the Khorramshahr-2 reaching 3,000 kilometers and Khorramshahr-4 offering MIRV compatibility, 30-meter CEP, and under 15-minute launch prep.
- If Iran returns to prewar output, sheer numbers could blunt Israeli strike effectiveness as it was on track to produce more than 200 missiles monthly with an estimated arsenal of around 2,500.
- China says it will leverage influence to help Middle East stability, with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian visiting Beijing earlier this month amid Chinese Foreign Ministry concern over regional escalation.
