Systems in all branches of the military, including those that were damaged, have been rebuilt, and new systems have also been imported," said army spokesperson, Mohammad Akraminia, according to state TV.

"New systems have come through the defense industry and the army, and some have also been imported from abroad, and this equipment has enhanced our combat capabilities," he added.

The United States and Israel initiated the war against Iran with a massive wave of strikes on February 28, triggering Iranian retaliation across the region.

An April 8, ceasefire ended nearly 40 days of intense bombardment, but sporadic attacks mostly near the strategic Strait of Hormuz have dampened the prospect of a full-fledged peace agreement.

"We took serious measures in the field of reconstruction and redeployment of systems that had been damaged by the enemy," the army spokesman said, adding that the country has now changed its military doctrine from defensive to offensive.

"Pre-emptive attack, based on international law and the Charter, is a legitimate action; of course, when it is accompanied by the principle of proportionality and necessity," he continued.

In May, US intelligence assessments indicated that Iran restored operational access to the vast majority of its missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz, raising fresh concerns inside Washington about Tehran’s enduring military capabilities despite repeated public claims from the Trump administration that Iran’s forces had been severely crippled.

The findings suggest that Iran’s military infrastructure remains substantially intact and capable of threatening American naval forces and commercial shipping in one of the world’s most important energy transit corridors.
