Iran Resumes Ballistic Missile Production in Underground Facilities
Iran has resumed ballistic missile production in underground facilities using pre-stored components, according to US and Middle Eastern officials cited by the WSJ.
Iran has resumed the production of ballistic missiles in underground facilities using pre-stocked components, according to a report published Thursday by The Wall Street Journal. Citing American and Middle Eastern officials, the report indicates that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is currently assembling new missiles from existing parts in limited quantities. Earlier on Thursday, International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi told Bloomberg that the agency has detected new construction and movement around the fortified underground complex known as 'Mount Karkash'. However, Grossi emphasized that the IAEA lacks concrete information regarding the precise nature of the activities inside the site, as inspectors have not yet been granted access to the tunnel network. 'There are some indications that there is movement around this construction site,' Grossi said, noting that findings are based on remote imagery rather than on-site inspections.
