According to several participants in the briefing, the IDF official said Iran is restoring its missile capabilities at a rapid pace. Lawmakers also asked whether the military has a ready plan to defeat and dismantle Hamas should U.S. President Donald Trump’s Gaza proposal collapse. The official replied that the IDF is drafting such a plan, which is currently in “design stages.”Earlier this month, Iran also hosted a separate multinational exercise with members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in East Azerbaijan province. Iranian outlets described the drill as counterterrorism training meant to signal “peace and friendship” to neighboring states, while warning adversaries — including Israel — that “any miscalculation” would prompt a forceful response.Israeli officials are increasingly alarmed that Iran is ramping up production of ballistic missiles, rebuilding capabilities damaged by Israeli strikes earlier this year, and are preparing to brief US President Donald Trump on options for renewed military action.
The concerns extend beyond missiles. Israeli officials also believe Iran is working to reconstitute nuclear enrichment sites struck by the US in June. Still, sources say the ballistic missile program and the repair of Iran’s air defense systems are viewed as the most immediate threats, The Caspian Post reports via foreign media.
