00:00Recent reports indicate
00:05that Iran is rapidly rebuilding its missile arsenal
00:08following the June 20th
00:102025 conflict with Israel,
00:12often called the 12-day war,
00:15or Operation Rising Lion.
00:18Officials in Tehran claim they have
00:20tripled their missile stockpiles,
00:22including advanced hypersonic capability.
00:25But independent analysts warn the reality
00:28may be more complex.
00:30Let's break it down.
00:32On January 26th, 2020,
00:35Iranian officials publicly claimed
00:38their missile arsenal
00:40has tripled since the 12-day war.
00:42They highlight possession of what they call
00:45the world's largest active missiles,
00:47drones, and air defense systems.
00:50Earlier, in November 2025,
00:53Iran's defense minister
00:55Aziz Nasir Zedeh said missile production
00:58had improved.
01:00both in quantity and quality,
01:02surpassing pre-war levels.
01:05Reports suggest production now includes
01:08ballistic missiles like the FATA-1
01:1010, as well as hypersonic variants
01:13from the FATA series with
01:15factories operating around the clock.
01:18Israeli intelligence warns that
01:20Iran is preparing to launch up to 2,000 missiles simultaneously in
01:25a future conflict, aiming to overwhelm defense systems.
01:30Independent reports describe a production surge
01:33that restores much of Iran's
01:35previously destroyed stockpile estimated at around 2,000
01:40and heavy missiles, while incorporating upgrades
01:43like improved guidance
01:45systems and hypersonic technology.
01:48Some analysts even suggest
01:50production rates have increased six-fold
01:53compared to pre-war levels.
01:55The U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency projects
01:58that if unchecked,
02:00Iran could field up to 60 intercontinental ballistic missiles by 20
02:0535.
02:06The 12-day war involved Israeli and U.S.
02:10terrorist strikes on Iranian nuclear and missile sites,

02:42yet have tripled, and some claims are amplified in Iranian state media as
02:47deterrence posturing. For Israel, this missile buildup is especially
02:52concerning. During the 12-day war, over 180 Iranians
02:57missiles breached Israeli defenses despite interception systems like
03:02iron dome and arrow, causing significant infrastructure damage.
