00:00New satellite images released by the New York Times reveal a startling development in the
00:26Middle East. Iran's ballistic missile sites, reportedly damaged during last year's 12-day war with Israel, have been rapidly repaired.
00:36High-resolution images from Planet Labs show that more than half of the targeted missile facilities are now rebuilt.
00:44Cleared debris, new structures, and resumed operations indicate that Iran wasted no time in restoring its missile capabilities.
00:54Some work beginning within just months of the attacks.
00:58In stark contrast, Iran's nuclear facilities, like Natanz, Fordo, and Isfahan, have seen slower, limited repairs, often just basic reconstruction.
01:10Analysts say this highlights Tehran's strategic prioritization of missiles over nuclear enrichment, focusing on immediate deterrence against Israel and U.S. forces.
01:22Ballistic missiles are Iran's primary tool for projecting power.
01:27Experts cited in the report note that intelligence assessments indicate the missile program has largely recovered since last June's conflict, restoring a key layer of Iran's military strength.
01:40The timing is critical.
01:43Indirect U.S.-Iran talks are ongoing in Oman, while President Trump has deployed a massive naval presence in the region.
01:52These rebuilt missile sites could shift the balance of power and complicate any negotiations, raising the stakes in an already tense region.
02:02Visible above-ground repairs tell only part of the story.
02:06Underground or hidden work remains difficult to verify.
02:10But the rapid reconstruction sends a clear message.
02:14Iran is determined to maintain a credible missile deterrent, ready for any threat.
02:20Meanwhile, Iranian state television dropped a striking new footage.
02:26Underground missile cities packed with some of Iran's most powerful weapons.
02:31At the center of that message was one missile in particular, Korhamshar-4, also known as Hebar.
02:39The Korhamshar-4 is Iran's most advanced medium-range ballistic missile, developed by the country's Aerospace Industries Organization and operated by the IRGC Aerospace Force.
02:53First unveiled in May 2023, this missile represents the fourth generation of the Korhamshar family, a program rooted in North Korean missile designs but heavily upgraded by Iran.
03:07Let's break down why this missile matters.
03:10Korhamshar-4 has a reported range of around 2,000 kilometers.
03:15That puts Israel, U.S. bases across the Gulf, and even parts of southeastern Europe within reach.
03:22But range is only part of the story.
03:25This missile can carry a massive payload, up to 1,800 kilograms, one of the heaviest warheads in Iran's arsenal.
03:34It can deliver a single high-impact warhead, cluster munitions, or potentially multiple warheads.
03:41With tensions rising and ballistic missiles back online, the coming months could determine whether the region avoids another confrontation or faces a new escalation.
