Israel’s interceptors were getting low during March war. Much like Jordan and Kuwait it will be only a matter of time before Iran would break thru maybe in days or a few weeks at most.

With Jordan and US stockpiles now depleted, there isn’t as much shield from external countries to protect Israel.

Between bases crowded with U.S./Israeli fighter jets. Israel will have to choose what it protects.

it's pay walled. but here is the full article (excluding some paragraphs I omitted for space):

Satellite Images Show Iran Is Rebuilding. Fast.​

Iran has quickly rebuilt infrastructure damaged during the U.S. and Israeli bombing campaign over recent months, from missile bases nestled deep inside mountains to bridges, ports and production facilities, according to Israeli and Western officials and a review of satellite imagery.

The faster-than-expected progress worries some Israeli officials. It helps explain Iran’s continued resilience despite an air campaign that involved more than 20,000 strikes at the height of the war and that continues along Iran’s coast in an effort to break Tehran’s grip on the Strait of Hormuz.

Near Kangavar, in western Iran, satellite imagery from Planet Labs in March showed two tunnel entrances and an access road damaged by airstrikes aimed at blocking access to an Iranian missile base. Within weeks, imagery from Airbus revealed a neatly paved road leading to freshly excavated entrances.

In another case, an Israeli military official said Iran repaired a bridge that Israel had struck with three bombs within days, surprising Israeli officials and prompting them to question the effectiveness of their targeting.

Ran Kochav, a former commander of Israel’s air and missile defense forces, said the rapid recovery is consistent with skills Iran demonstrated in rebuilding its infrastructure and missile stockpile after the 12-day Israel-Iran war last June, before the new war began in February.

“They refilled their stockpiles,” he said. “They have very impressive industrialization and reconstruction capabilities.”

“It turns out that the rumors about the end or the significant dwindling of the missiles were wrong,” said Tal Inbar, a senior analyst at the U.S.-based Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance.

Israeli military officials have privately voiced frustration with the results of the bombing campaign, pointing to the active rebuilding. One official familiar with the targeting effort thought Israel could have done more damage if it had stayed focused on military sites rather than shifting early in the war to target Iran’s internal security services and even individual checkpoints staffed by the Basij militia in hopes of undermining the regime.
“Iran is rebuilding everything,” the official said. “I am very worried.”

A second Israeli military official said that Iran was capable of rebuilding almost everything, including missile production, as it still has the know-how.

Israel and the U.S. often only succeeded in collapsing entry points to missile bases deep inside mountains rather than destroying them fully, Israeli military officials said. Weapons stored inside these collapsed sites were left intact, and Iran has since been digging them out, they said.

A missile base in the southwestern Iranian city of Dezful was struck by Israel in June 2025 and again in early March, when airstrikes buried its entrances, satellite images from Planet Labs show. Three months later, images from Airbus showed that Iran was already digging out multiple tunnel entrances at the site.

Another Iranian missile base north of the city of Kermanshah took heavy blows at the beginning of the war, Planet Labs imagery shows. By the first week of June, images distributed by Airbus showed crews had repaired road damage, and trucks visible on satellite images were clearing dirt and reopening collapsed tunnel entrances.

Satellite images from Planet Labs also show partial reconstruction in recent weeks near Tehran at Raja Shimi Industries, a plant believed to be involved in the production of missile components, according to a King’s College London report. The images show several new structures that appear to have been rebuilt.

Some facilities that make more advanced components needed for manufacturing missiles, such as carbon fiber, might take Iran months if not years to re-establish following Israeli and American strikes, said Jim Lamson, a visiting research fellow at King’s College London and former Central Intelligence Agency analyst who wrote the report.

But Iran may have stockpiled those components at underground production facilities that can be used to assemble dozens or hundreds of new missiles and drones in the short term, Lamson said.

Iran has demonstrated that it will keep pushing to rebuild its infrastructure and weapons capability however long it takes.

“It is a matter of will, time and money,” Inbar said.

I’m curious if those silos were opens up or they opened new ones that weren’t known before
