Israeli Officials: Iran's Military Is Rapidly Recovering
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - Four months after the main war in Iran ended in April, the IDF is now seeing a turnaround in many areas of Iran's military industrial complex, including the ballistic missile threat. The Post has independently confirmed statements by senior Iranian officials that it is now producing new ballistic missiles that could hit Israel at a much faster pace than expected. Steady progress now means that in a few years, the Iranian ballistic missile existential threat could be back in play. This will influence broader Israeli strategy about when and if another attack might be necessary. The IDF responded to the Post's report, saying: "Throughout the war, the IDF substantially harmed a diverse range of central components relating to Iran's military capabilities, thereby harming both the capabilities of the regime to utilize portions of its capabilities and the ability to rehabilitate them at the same scope and pace which existed prior to the war. Since then, the IDF has closely and continuously followed the Iranian efforts to rehabilitate and to newly rebuild their capabilities." "The IDF's evaluation and situation assessments are constantly updated and brought in line with actual developments."
