  "account": "Iran's missile and drone factories have continued to operate despite sustained attacks from the United States and Israel, according to Western officials. This resiliency allows Iran to replenish its arsenals of ballistic missiles and some anti-ship weapons, the officials say. The capacity for Iran to produce these weapons remains intact, suggesting the country can quickly increase its stockpiles. Russia is also contributing to this effort by supplying Iran with missiles, a role it has been performing since June. However, Russia's Ministry of Defense has not commented on these assessments.",
