Iran Accelerates Ballistic Missile Production Post-Conflict
Iran is quickly making a lot of ballistic missiles again after a short war with Israel.
An important Israeli military person told lawmakers that Iran is fixing its missile-making ability, which got hurt in a fight last June.
Iran has been doing big military practices in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman, testing new missiles and drones.
One of Iran's military leaders said they tested a new missile that can go really far and is very accurate.
Iran says its missiles are only for protecting itself and can reach up to 2,000 kilometers.
The United States and its friends have asked Iran to limit its missile range, but Iran has said no.
Iran has rapidly resumed large-scale production of ballistic missiles six months after its 12-day conflict with Israel.
A senior IDF official warned that Iran is quickly restoring its missile manufacturing capacity, which suffered significant damage in June.
Iran conducted extensive military exercises in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman, involving missile and drone testing.
A new domestically built missile with a range exceeding 1,375 kilometers and high precision was tested by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Navy.
Iran maintains that its missile arsenal is purely for deterrence and rejects demands to limit its missile development.
