IRAN RACES TO REBUILD UNDERGROUND MISSILE ARSENAL AS HEZBOLLAH TOLD TO PREPARE FOR IMMINENT WAR
Context
What happened: Satellite imagery shows renewed tunneling and underground construction at three Iranian missile sites, Parchin, Khojir, and Shahroud, per a Foreign Policy Research Institute report. Iran reportedly told Hezbollah to prepare for an "imminent" war.
Key numbers: Three sites cited. Tanks of five to 13 meters long seen outside tunnels.
Why it matters: The findings partly challenge assessments that Tehran's military infrastructure was largely devastated, suggesting it was damaged but not eliminated. Israeli officials warn reconstruction is outpacing initial intelligence estimates.
