Mossad shocked at Iran’s rapid reconstruction of military capabilities: Report

Israeli officials say Iran restored missile production far faster than expected, after strikes on more than 2,600 targets failed to halt rebuilding.

  • Israeli defense officials and Mossad are reportedly shocked by the speed of Iran's military recovery following the early 2026 war, with new assessments indicating Tehran resumed weapons production far faster than expected.
  • During the roughly 40-day war, Israel and the United States attacked more than 2,600 missile and military-industrial targets, yet Iran has repeatedly surprised the IDF with rapid turnarounds in October 2024, January 2025, and again in 2026.
  • Although the U.S. and Israel carried out about 30,000 attacks causing an estimated $300 billion in damage, Iran restored its arsenal from about 1,300 missiles in June 2025 to 2,500 by February 2026.
  • Senior Israeli defense officials acknowledge Tehran has prioritized rebuilding ballistic missile threats while other infrastructure remains damaged, and reports suggest Iran used bulldozers to regain underground facility access faster than anticipated.
  • If Iran manufactures 100-300 missiles monthly, it could restore June 2025 arsenal levels by mid-2027 and become a prohibitive threat by 2028, influencing broader Israeli strategy on future military necessity.
