Iranian specialists demonstrate a high speed of restoring destroyed facilities during the current conflict. According to U.S. intelligence reports cited by The New York Times, Tehran is capable of clearing underground missile bunkers and silos of debris, bringing them back into operation within just a few hours after airstrikes by Israel and the U.S.
According to estimates by U.S. intelligence, the Islamic Republic has retained a significant number of ballistic missiles and mobile launchers. This raises doubts about the effectiveness of Washington's efforts to completely eliminate Iran's missile capabilities. The report notes that the U.S. cannot confidently confirm the number of destroyed equipment, as the Iranian side actively uses decoys and false targets to mislead the enemy.
Experts emphasize that even if underground facilities appear damaged, mobile launchers often remain operational, being quickly extracted from the rubble and prepared for new attacks. The scale of Tehran's activity remains significant. According to a senior Western official, Iran launches between 15 to 30 ballistic missiles and 50 to 100 kamikaze drones in the region daily.
Officials in Washington state that Iran's main strategy is to maximize the preservation of its launch capabilities. This is necessary for Tehran to maintain a constant threat in the region both during prolonged confrontations and in the long term after the active phase of hostilities has concluded.
