Iran is rebuilding missile production sites damaged by Israel in June, according to satellite imagery analyzed by the Associated Press. The imagery indicates construction at bases for manufacturing solid-fueled missiles located near Parchin and Shahroud. Iran does not appear to have acquired replacements for planetary mixers that were destroyed by Israel in an earlier strike in October 2024. The mixers are large pieces of equipment needed to produce solid missile fuel. They can be purchased from Chinese firms, but the Chinese government did not indicate whether or not it would supply replacement mixers or missile fuel ingredients to Iran.
