Iran is exploiting the current ceasefire to reorganize and regenerate its ballistic missile forces on the tactical level. Satellite imagery observed by CNN on April 14 showed that Iran attempted to remove debris in front of the entrances to the Southwest Tabriz Missile Base. This activity indicates a concerted effort to repair and restore operational capacity at a key military facility, aligning with recent reports of accelerated missile production. The move comes as Iran has rejected a US request to extend the ceasefire, signaling preparations for a potential resumption of hostilities.
