Jerusalem Post: Israel stunned by speed of Iran's missile recovery

[Regnum] The Israeli military did not expect Iran's missile capability to recover so quickly after the start of hostilities in 2026, the Jerusalem Post reported, citing military sources.

The IDF believes their strikes inflicted damage on Iran's military-industrial complex, enough to set it back several years. However, four months after the massive strike in April, the IDF command sees recovery on several fronts. And it's happening much faster than expected.

"Israel has admitted that Iran has somehow found a way to restart production of high-speed missiles, once again stunning the IDF," the publication says.

According to the military, Iran is finding creative and innovative ways to rebuild its missiles. If the country can return to producing 100–300 missiles per month, it will restore its missile arsenal to the level of June 2025 by early or mid-2027 and could become a serious threat in 2028, the authors concluded.

The US and Israel began launching large-scale strikes against Iran on February 28. Tehran responded by attacking each other's targets in the Middle East. The situation escalated three weeks after the US and Iran signed a memorandum ending the conflict. In early July, the US announced the end of the ceasefire and resumed attacks on Iran. The 13th wave occurred on the night of July 24.

As The New York Times reported on July 26, US President Donald Trump postponed plans to escalate the military campaign against Iran due to concerns about depleting its stockpile of interceptor missiles for air defense systems.
