Sources cited by The New York Times indicate that Iranian missile factories are now operating around the clock. Ali Vaz, Director of the Iran Project at the International Crisis Group, said:

Iran’s missile facilities are functioning 24/7. Should Tehran decide to respond in the future, their plan is to launch up to 2,000 ballistic missiles per day, compared to 500 missiles over 12 days during June.

Vaz added that although no immediate military confrontation is evident, Israel regards Iran’s missile program as a persistent threat and believes Tehran is preparing for potential escalation.

Nuclear Stockpile and International Concerns

Despite repeated statements by U.S. President Donald Trump claiming that Iran’s nuclear infrastructure has been destroyed following the “Am Kalavi” operation nearly five months ago, officials say the facilities remain operational to a significant degree. Western intelligence estimates that Iran maintains enough enriched uranium to produce 11 nuclear weapons.

Contrary to Iranian claims that some of the uranium is buried within damaged facilities, Israeli authorities suspect it has been relocated to more secure sites. Reports also suggest that Iran, with assistance from China, has been reviving its missile program despite renewed U.N. sanctions. Several shipments of sodium perchlorate, a key component for solid rocket fuel, have recently arrived at Iran’s Bandar Abbas port.
