Iran Attempts To Recover Hidden Munitions

Iranian media reports that authorities are examining captured equipment, including guided bomb systems, bunker-buster bombs, advanced drones, and guided missiles, for reverse engineering activities. The goal is to make these munitions reusable to potentially target the United States and Israel with their own weaponry. Efforts to locate unexploded ordnance continue across several regions in Iran. According to Iranian press, efforts are ongoing to locate unexploded munitions in several regions of the country. Iranians have been without internet access for more than 50 consecutive days since the start of the war with Iran. Experts link the blackout to fears that targets could be located through signals intelligence following the death of the former supreme leader. Iran has been utilizing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) containing numerous Western-made components. This practice has been a subject of warnings for several years. The use of these components occurs as global attention shifts away from the conflict in Ukraine. Tehran is reportedly attempting to recover missiles and ammunition that were hidden or buried following US and Israeli strikes. Two informed sources told Iran International that the Islamic Republic is working to retrieve these assets.
