According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Iran has begun producing ballistic missiles once again. The report states that this activity is occurring at several underground sites, specifically identifying the Khojir facility as a key location. These efforts involve the assembly of new missiles using existing stockpiles of components, though the scale of production is described as more limited than it was prior to the recent conflict with the United States.

This development stands in direct contrast to claims made by the Trump administration. Officials had previously asserted that Iran’s military capabilities, particularly its missile program, had been effectively neutralized or destroyed during the months-long military engagement. The emergence of these reports suggests that Iran’s domestic manufacturing capacity remains partially intact despite the pressure of the conflict. While the report provides specific details regarding the location and nature of the production, it does not offer a comprehensive assessment of the strategic impact of these new missiles on the current regional balance of power.
