Bloomberg: Iran still has something to strike and where to produce

The agency reports that Iran still has large weapons reserves, and operating plants allow it to regenerate used stocks relatively quickly.

As Bloomberg wrote, Tehran has, among others, a significant number of ballistic missiles and parts of weapons intended to combat targets at sea. One of the officials quoted by the agency said that Russia also supplies missiles to Iran.

The Russian Ministry of Defense did not respond to Bloomberg's questions on this matter.

A different assessment than the White House's position

Information from Western sources contradicts the declarations of the administration of US President Donald Trump. Washington argues that the bombings led to the destruction of Iran's arms sector.

At the end of September, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said that Iran had lost its ability to produce weapons. The White House still stands by this assessment.

Bloomberg Economics calculations show that Iran has fired over 2,000 rounds since the conflict began. ballistic missiles and used over 4,000 Shahed drones. Back in June, Western intelligence agencies estimated that the country had retained about 75 percent. their pre-war supplies.

Risk to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz

Analysts point out that Iran may intensify strikes on commercial ships using anti-ship missiles. Their production is expected to be relatively simple, and supplies can be stored in the mountainous regions of southern Iran.

The British Navy said at least ten ships were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz over the past week.
