Israeli military and intelligence officials have expressed shock at the speed with which Iran is restoring its military capabilities after recent strikes, specifically from the war of early 2026.
According to Israel’s defense authorities, this rapid recovery has occurred just four months following the conclusion of major hostilities in April, contradicting earlier assessments by Israeli experts who had argued that the strikes would significantly weaken Iran’s military potential and set back its development for years.
Israeli officials note that Tehran is employing non-standard approaches to rebuild missile capabilities, a trend that has surprised both intelligence services and military leadership.
