Farzin Nadimi, a senior researcher for defense and security affairs, referring to the American economic pressure on the Islamic Republic, said that the continuation of the ceasefire for the United States may be a "double-edged sword". According to him, at the same time as the economic pressure increases, the Islamic Republic is using the opportunity to rebuild its military power, and satellite images indicate renewed activity at the Hajir, Parchin and Shahrod missile factories. Nadimi estimated that the production of ballistic missiles using existing facilities and materials, albeit at a lower speed than before the war, is repeating itself.
