Iran's military strength times 2.5

From Trump's claim about the complete destruction of Iran's military power to a 2.5-fold jump in the country's defense equipment production

Political group - From the end of the 12-day war in June 2025 until the announcement of the Ministry of Defense of our country about the increase in the production capacity of weapons, Iran's defense industries managed to restore the military production capacity and even increase the production capacity in a jihadist action. Meanwhile, Donald Trump and Pete Hegst have repeatedly claimed that Iran's navy, air force, radars and war machine have been destroyed.

Against these claims, the spokesman of the Ministry of Defense of the Islamic Republic announced in Mehr 1405 that the production capacity of weapons has reached 2.5 times the level before the Ramadan war, and about three months before that, it was announced that this capacity had doubled. In addition, foreign reports tell about the reconstruction of missile lines and the resumption of production; The image that shows the damage to the military infrastructure was a dream and fantasy that did not come true, and now there is encouraging news of an increase in the production of military equipment.
