Iran Rebuilds Its Missile Arsenal Despite US Attacks

Published on May 16, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Media investigations by outlets such as The New York Times and The Washington Post reveal that Iran has managed to preserve part of its missile arsenals and launchers. This finding challenges claims of a decisive victory by the United States, indicating that the Iranian ballistic program is more resilient than initially believed.

Technical resilience and launcher dispersion 🚀

Iran's ability to rebuild its arsenal is based on dispersion tactics and underground production. They use mobile launchers and camouflage systems that make satellite detection difficult. Additionally, they have developed solid-fuel missiles with reduced preparation times. This strategy allows that, even after bombings, a significant portion of their ballistic force remains operational and ready to respond.

The missile that doesn't care about sanctions 😅

It seems Iranian missiles don't read newspapers or follow news about sanctions. While in Washington the end of their program was declared, in some underground hangar a technician was adjusting a launcher with the calm of someone who hasn't received the memo. The international community wonders if next time they'll need to send a certified letter so they find out they should already be dismantled.
