Iran has expanded two sites at Modarres and Khojir for conventional missile production, according to satellite imagery and Iranian sources consulted by Reuters and reported today (Monday).

Iran has a significant arsenal of missiles itself, some 3,000, not including the missiles it fired at Israel in retaliation for the assassination of a senior IRGC officer in Syria months before.

It has also provided both Russia and Iran-backed proxies such as the Houthis and Hezbollah with missile technology, with the latter using for attacking civilian shipping and structures.
