CNN Investigation: Iran Rebuilding Missile Infrastructure Faster Than Expected

In addition, according to CNN, roads destroyed by US and Israeli strikes have been restored at military bases in order to prevent their use by missile launchers. On the territory of the bases, all bombing craters have been filled in, and at two sites the road surface has been re-laid. In particular, satellite images of a missile base north of Kermanshah show that two tunnel entrances have been reopened and their access roads have been repaired.

Satellite data also shows that a number of missile factories hit during the war have been restored, raising concerns about a resumption of missile production. A US source told CNN that Iran is restoring key military capabilities – production of drones, launchers and missiles – faster than intelligence community analysts had expected.

Last week, Kan TV reported that the Logistics Command is preparing to resume war with Iran. The military assumes that the third round of hostilities will begin suddenly, without prior warning to the population, local authorities and hospitals – in order to take Tehran by surprise.

If during Operation People Like a Lion it took 18 hours from the first strike to the launch of Iranian missiles on Israel, and less than three hours in Operation Roaring Lion, then in the next conflict, according to military estimates, Iran will try to respond even faster. From the first minutes of the war, the entire rear will go into “red” mode: many civilian infrastructure facilities, Ben Gurion Airport and educational institutions will be closed.
