September 11 – According to the Wall Street Journal, citing informed officials in the US and the Middle East, Iran has resumed ballistic missile production, reassembling missiles in underground facilities using previously stockpiled components. Sources say Iran is producing liquid-fueled and solid-fueled ballistic missiles and is operating at multiple underground locations, including the Khojir missile facility in southeastern Iran, while also attempting to build new underground assembly sites to avoid further attacks. The report states that Iran is currently relying primarily on existing stockpiled components for low-scale production, with output below pre-war levels. A US official stated that Iran may be assembling at least several hundred missiles using existing components. The report cites analysts as saying that Iran previously stockpiled warheads, missile bodies, and guidance and control systems; new missile production depends on the size of the stockpile and the recovery of underground facilities, and could reach hundreds or even thousands of missiles. US Department of Defense spokesman Parnell stated that the US has destroyed "up to 90%" of Iran's drones, ballistic missiles, and naval industrial infrastructure. Previously, US Defense Secretary Hergsays also stated that Iran's missile program had been "substantially destroyed." However, satellite images show that Iran is repairing roads, bridges, production facilities, and missile base tunnel entrances, raising concerns among US and Israeli officials that its military capabilities are being restored.
