Iran can still produce 50 ballistic missiles monthly: Report
What's the story
Iran is reportedly capable of producing around 50 ballistic missiles every month, which is about half of its pre-war capacity. This gives the country a considerable advantage in case hostilities resume, Bloomberg reported, citing a Western intelligence report. While the United States has repeatedly claimed that Iran's missile capabilities have been severely degraded, it appears that Tehran still possesses at least 1,700 ballistic missiles and continues to produce more at roughly half its pre-war rate, the report said.

IRGC video shows new underground 'missile city'
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) recently released a video showing the unveiling of a new underground "missile city," which includes ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and their launchers.
In the video, General Ali Abdollahi, the armed forces' chief of staff, told troops that "surprises in a future war will be revealed one after the other."
"If the enemy makes another move against us, our response will extend beyond the region," Abdollahi said, according to Rudaw news.

Arsenal ambiguity
Details on Iran's remaining missiles and drones unclear
The exact number of Shahed-type attack drones and ballistic missiles left in Iran's arsenal is unclear.
However, since the conflict started on February 28, Bloomberg estimated that Iran had used over 4,900 Shahed propeller-driven attack drones and at least 2,200 ballistic missiles.
Western intelligence officials have also claimed that Russia is supplying strike weapons to Iran, although details remain unknown.
Policy stance
Trump rules out military action against Iran
US President Donald Trump has ruled out any further military action against Iran.
He said, "Iran militarily is effectively over," after a meeting with Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed.
"The military action doesn't seem to be a very necessary thing, but we're locked and loaded, ready to go for any reason that changes," he said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on the other hand, has been calling Trump "every day," urging him to resume strikes on Tehran, FT reported.
