Amid a fragile truce following a 40-day military confrontation, preparations for a new round of conflict between the United States and Iran are accelerating. The mutual mobilization reflects a race to rebuild capabilities and invest time in repairing what was destroyed by war.
Field data indicates a dual scene, with Washington sending massive military reinforcements to the region, while Tehran engages in operations to reactivate its buried missile stockpile. These preparations come within the context of deterrence calculations and efforts to restore balance in the region.
Details of Military Movements
Abdul Qader Arada clarified via an interactive screen that several field indicators reflect Iranian movements to extract unexploded ordnance, particularly in Isfahan province, where explosions have been recorded due to dismantling and destruction of military remnants. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard also reported casualties during these operations, indicating the scale of the remaining stockpile and the complex technical efforts required to manage it.
American reports, including those from NBC News, accuse Iran of re-extracting ballistic missiles and munitions hidden underground, in an attempt to rebuild its capabilities after strikes targeted its military infrastructure. Satellite images, shared by CNN from Airbus, revealed activity of vehicles in the Khomein and Tabriz regions, reinforcing the hypothesis of reactivating military sites linked to what are known as missile cities.

Monitoring data indicates that around 30 military cargo flights from Germany to the region were executed over 3 days, demonstrating the intensification of American logistical support for its allies and expanding operational readiness.
These movements coincided with American measures to restrict Iranian oil exports, including preventing the passage of dozens of ships, resulting in financial losses estimated in the billions of dollars, as part of an economic pressure strategy parallel to military mobilization. These developments reflect the outcomes of the previous confrontation, where American and Israeli strikes targeted launch platforms and infrastructure, without completely eliminating the Iranian missile stockpile.
