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,
02:13reportedly degrade
02:15trading Iran's production capacity by more than 50 percent.
02:20of the U.S.
02:21retaliation,
02:22Iran launched ballistic missiles,
02:23including strikes on U.S.
02:25terrorist strikes on the top 10
02:28and more.

02:38While production is surging, stockpiles may not yet have tripled.
02:43And some claims are amplified in Iranian state media as deterrence posture.
02:48For Israel, this missile buildup is especially concerning.
02:53During the 12-day war, over 180 Iranian missiles...
02:58...reached Israeli defenses despite interception systems like Iron Dome and...
03:03...arrow, causing significant infrastructure damage.
03:06A tripled arsenal...
03:08...could allow swarm attacks, potentially overwhelming multilayered...
03:13...offenses, raising risks to cities, military sites and economic hubs.
03:18U.S. bases across the region in Qatar, Bahrain...
03:23...and Iraq could also be vulnerable.
03:26Hypersonic missiles could evade...
03:28...detection threatening aircraft carriers, air bases and critical assets.
03:33Iran's naval capabilities further complicate the picture, including...
03:38...submarines and anti-ship missiles that could target the Strait of Hormuz.
03:43A choke point for up to 30% of global oil shipments.
03:48A potential U.S. attack on Iran, similar to operations in 2025...
03:53...faces significant challenges, while U.S. stealth technology...
03:58...revision strikes and alliances with Israel could degrade Iranian capabilities...
04:03...Iran's dispersed sites, improved air defenses and proxy networks...
04:08...create a high-risk scenario.
04:10Experts describe preventive strikes...
04:13...as a risk and reward calculation, potentially delaying Iranian...
04:18...productive diagrams, but also risking escalation.
04:21So, what does all this MSO...
04:23mean Iran's claims reflect heightened tensions technological and
04:28ambition and posturing after a costly conflict the potential threat to
04:33Israel US bases and global shipping is real but verification
04:38and practical capabilities remain under scrutiny diplomacy is
04:43limited while prevention of nuclear breakout remains the top US priority
04:48in short Iran's missile rebuild is a red flag for regional
