Iran rebuilding military industrial base faster than expected: CNN

Iran has already restarted some of its drone production during the six-week ceasefire that began in early April, CNN reported on Thursday, citing two sources familiar with ⁠U.S. intelligence assessments.

US intelligence indicates Iran’s military is rebuilding much faster than initially estimated, the report added, citing four sources.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
