The Iranian army destroyed? The Iranian arsenal continues to recover - and also the production lines

Bloomberg's reporting suggests production lines remain active despite repeated statements from Trump about crippling damage. The gap between declared military success and observable reality matters for how you assess the trajectory of regional deterrence. Watch for whether Western intelligence revises its damage assessments publicly.
