The assessment comes amid mounting reports that Iran has been working to rebuild military facilities damaged during the conflict and restore its weapons production capabilities.

Iran has retained a substantial portion of its ballistic missile arsenal and continues producing approximately 50 new missiles per month, despite extensive damage inflicted by Israeli and American airstrikes during the recent war, Bloomberg reported, citing Western intelligence assessments.
According to the report, Tehran still possesses at least 1,700 ballistic missiles, giving the Islamic Republic the ability to launch significant retaliatory strikes if fighting resumes.
The current production rate represents roughly half of Iran’s missile manufacturing capacity before the war, when the regime was reportedly capable of producing approximately 100 missiles per month.
The assessment comes amid mounting reports that Iran has been working to rebuild military facilities damaged during the conflict and restore its weapons production capabilities.
Despite the destruction of much of Iran’s conventional military infrastructure, Western intelligence officials believe Tehran has managed to preserve portions of its missile manufacturing industry and maintain a significant operational arsenal.
The findings come as US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth continues to emphasize the scale of the destruction inflicted on Iran’s military and nuclear infrastructure.
Speaking at a press conference Tuesday, Hegseth said American military operations had destroyed more than 80% of Iran’s nuclear industrial infrastructure, along with major portions of its defense industrial base and air and naval facilities.
The Bloomberg assessment does not directly contradict Hegseth’s claims regarding Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, but indicates that the regime retains significant ballistic missile capabilities despite the damage sustained during the war.
Iran’s efforts to rebuild its missile arsenal remain a major concern for Israel, particularly as uncertainty continues over whether the conflict with Tehran will resume.
