Iran claims that the production of defense equipment has doubled in the past year.
Xinhua News Agency, Tehran, August 22 (Reporter Shadati Chen Xiao) According to a report from Iran's Mehr News Agency on the 22nd, Iranian Defense Ministry spokesman Reza Talaei-Nik stated in an interview with Iranian national television that the production of Iranian weapons and defense equipment has doubled over the past year.
Talaei-Nik said that after the 12-day conflict with the U.S. and Israel ended in June last year, the overall production of Iranian weapons and defense equipment doubled, with the production of some strategically prioritized wartime equipment even increasing by more than three times.

He also stated that to protect military secrets, some equipment systems have not yet been publicly displayed, but military commanders are aware of the production and upgrade progress, including ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, drones, and air defense systems.
