US Media: Iran is reorganizing its military at a pace far faster than expected by the US

According to sources familiar with U.S. intelligence information, as reported by CNN, Iran is rapidly reorganizing its forces and producing weapons at a speed much faster than the United States anticipated.

According to the report, since six weeks after the ceasefire in April, Iran has resumed operations at some of its drone factories.

As reported by CNN: "Certain U.S. intelligence agencies predict that Iran could fully restore its capability to conduct drone strikes within six months."

Prior to this, Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani stated that Iran has fully utilized the ceasefire window to rebuild its capabilities.

On February 28, the United States and Israel began attacking targets inside Iran, an aggressive act that has caused more than 3,000 deaths. Washington and Tehran announced a ceasefire on April 8. Subsequent negotiations held in Islamabad ended without results. Although there have been no reports of renewed hostilities, the United States has started imposing a blockade on Iranian ports.

Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, said that only Iran itself can decide how to manage the issue of uranium enrichment.

Zakharova stated during a press briefing: "I would like to emphasize again that, under the conditions of compliance with the Non-Proliferation Treaty, Iran's fundamental right to develop peaceful nuclear programs remains unshakable. Regarding the decision on how to use this authority—particularly concerning enriched uranium and existing nuclear fuel—only the Iranian people themselves can make such decisions."

On May 15, U.S. President Donald Trump said that he could accept Iran suspending uranium enrichment for 20 years. In response, Iran’s Foreign Ministry stated that Iran has no intention of giving up its rights as stipulated in the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The United States seeks to limit Iran’s nuclear ambitions, while Iran first demands guarantees for peace and is then prepared to discuss its nuclear program.
