Multiple outlets report that Iran uses an eight-week ceasefire with the United States to restore portions of its missile and drone capabilities. According to intelligence assessments cited by both sources, Iran has recovered roughly three-quarters—about 75%—of the munitions it had before the war. The reports add that Iran is able to maintain and rebuild its arsenal, including by using deep underground bunkers to preserve key equipment and by clearing debris to reopen or access previously blocked entrances.
Both outlets also state that Iran likely replenishes stockpiles with newly acquired or newly manufactured Russian missiles. The South China Morning Post describes this as “unspecified Russian weapons,” while the Kyiv Post similarly characterizes the replenishment as fresh Russian munitions added during the truce. The sources agree that this reconstitution improves Iran’s ability to sustain strikes even if hostilities resume, potentially allowing Iran to operate at close to full strength.
The reports do not provide public details of specific missile types or quantities, nor do they confirm independently the full scope of transfers or manufacturing. They frame the developments primarily as intelligence-based assessments.
