On the other hand, the flip side of this IDF view is that if  Beijing  does go all in to help Tehran rebuild its ballistic missile program, the recovery may be much quicker, and in unpredictable ways. The IDF's positive scenario is based on the US and Israel having struck over 2,600 Iranian military industrial sites, including a vast number of targets connected to Iran's ballistic missile apparatus. Iran lost hundreds of billions, which could destabilize vulnerable Mojtaba Khamenei; 60% uranium to be removed in US deal. Go to the full article > >

In addition, Iran is in a much weaker position in terms of its ability to support the organization’s recovery.” The official added that the current cease...
