Iran is ramping up its missile production with the explicit goal of being able to fire 2,000 missiles at once in any future confrontation with ‘Israel’, aiming to overwhelm the country's advanced defense systems, as reported by The New York Times.

This ambition marks a significant escalation from the June 2025 war, during which Iran launched approximately 500 missiles over 12 days.

Iranian officials have conveyed to analysts that missile factories are operating 24/7 to achieve this capability.

The revelation comes amid a dangerous stalemate over Iran's nuclear program, following the expiration of the 2015 nuclear deal and the reimposition of US sanctions.
