On May 23, 2023, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of Iran's parliament, asserted that Iran has successfully rebuilt its military forces during the ceasefire that began on April 8, following a 40-day conflict initiated on February 28 due to Israeli attacks. Ghalibaf's comments highlight Iran's restored military strength and serve as a stern warning to the United States against any potential resumption of hostilities. He stated that if the US were to 'foolishly restart the war,' the consequences would be 'more forceful and bitter' than those faced at the beginning of the conflict. Reports from US intelligence suggest that Iran is quickly replenishing its military capabilities, particularly in drone production, which had been severely impacted by US and Israeli strikes. Sources indicate that Iran's drone production may have already resumed, with the potential to fully restore its drone attack capabilities within six months. This development underscores the escalating tensions and the possibility of renewed conflict in the region.
