🔶 The Wall Street Journal: Iran has resumed producing missiles and drones at underground facilities

The Wall Street Journal, citing some officials, reported that Iran has resumed the production of missiles and drones at underground facilities; at the same time, Tehran has warned intermediaries that any response to potential fresh attacks by the United States and Israel could go beyond military targets and also involve the infrastructure of neighboring countries.

According to this report, despite the attacks Iran has endured, it still maintains significant stockpiles of missiles and drones, and the capability to use them in a new confrontation. The information cited does not provide a figure regarding the amount of production or the number of weapons available.

The newspaper also, citing American officials, wrote that Chinese entities may have provided Tehran with satellite images—images that are likely to have been used to track the locations of U.S. warships.

In another part of its report, the Wall Street Journal wrote that Tehran, both publicly and through non-public diplomatic channels, has warned intermediaries about the consequences of the resumption of U.S. and Israeli airstrikes.

As the newspaper wrote, Iran has told intermediaries that its possible response may include, in addition to U.S. bases and warships, airports, pipelines, economic facilities, and non-military targets in neighboring Gulf countries.

This report is being published while U.S. media have reported that they are assessing the likelihood of new attacks on Iran after the midterm elections of the U.S. Congress on November 3.
