Israel cannot wait forever for peace as Iran rapidly rebuilds its missile program - editorial

Iran is rebuilding its military faster than Israel expected as diplomacy stalls, raising the cost of every month that passes without an agreement to curb Tehran.

Two months after the ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran, Iran continues to rapidly rebuild its military capabilities, particularly in the ballistic missile program. This development has raised concerns for Israel, who has been forced to reassess their expectations for the pace of Iran's military recovery. Israeli defense officials have been shocked by the speed at which Iran is rebuilding its military infrastructure, with missile production now estimated to be producing 100 to 300 ballistic missiles per month.

This would allow Iran to restore its arsenal to pre-war levels by early or mid-2027. The diplomatic standoff continues, with little progress on Hormuz and the nuclear program. Israel must now decide if diplomacy can produce a genuine agreement or if they must take matters into their own hands to ensure their security.
