Iran says its production of missiles 'never stopped,' US is unable to locate production sites

Iran’s military said the U.S. is unable to locate missile production sites and that it continued to manufacture missiles and attack drones throughout the war.

"Missiles are moving directly from production to operational use while replenishing our stockpiles," military spokesperson Abolfazl Shekarchi said, state-run Iranian TV IRIB reported.

The military has manufactured missiles and attack drones throughout all phases of the US-Israel conflict, including when the memorandum of understanding took effect, Shekarchi said, IRIB reported.

"The enemies are confused by all the intelligence gathering tools and do not know where we produce missiles," he said, according to IRIB.

"During the 40 days of war and the breach of promise after the signing of the memorandum, the production of our strategic missiles never stopped. The missiles are replenishing our reserves," he said, according to IRIB.

Trump threatens to bomb Iranian bridges, power plants

President Donald Trump is threatening to attack Iran’s critical infrastructure, writing on social media that the U.S. will bomb "ONE BRIDGE OR POWER PLANT" any time Iran "shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz."

Trump made clear that this action would be in retaliation to vessels targeted in the Strait, but he did not mention any repercussions for Iran’s attacks on Gulf allies or U.S. assets in recent days. On Monday, Trump said Iran would "pay" "many times over" for killing American servicemembers, though he has not specified exactly what form such consequences would appear in.

In his post Wednesday morning, Trump’s threat included bridges and power plants near or in the highly-populated city of Tehran.

"From this point forward, any time the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, whether it be by Missile, Rocket, Drone, or any other device or weapon, the United States will bomb and destroy ONE BRIDGE OR POWER PLANT, including those located next to, or in, the Capital City of Tehran," he wrote.

Maritime traffic falls in Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb Strait, Kpler says

There were 13 crossings of the Strait of Hormuz on July 20 and nine on July 21, according to maritime intelligence company Kpler.

Addressing the new threats from the Houthis in the Bab el-Mandab Strait -- which sits at the southern end of the Red Sea -- Kpler said that "traffic declined sharply across both chokepoints on 21 July, with Strait of Hormuz crossings down 31% day-on-day to nine vessels and Bab el-Mandeb down 34% to 29."

Attacks in the Strait of Hormuz are "reinforcing concerns that uncertainty across both regional chokepoints could reshape routing decisions, increase freight costs and sustain higher geopolitical risk premiums for energy markets," Kpler said.
