Iran has managed to preserve its ability to produce missiles and drones, despite attacks by Israel and the United States, according to two Western sources familiar with the matter who spoke to Bloomberg.
One source stated that Tehran is well-equipped with missiles and anti-ship weapons, partly due to arms supplied by Russia. This assessment contrasts with previous claims by then-U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration officials, who asserted that Iran's military industry had been completely destroyed. Then-Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth had also claimed that the U.S. had entirely eliminated Iran's army, its military industry, and its capacity to threaten American bases and Washington's Middle Eastern allies.
