New fears surrounding Hormuz, Iran has restored 30 missile sites

Iran has restored 30 of its 33 missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz. As a result, international ships passing through the important waterway are once again at risk of Iranian missiles, according to the US media The New York Times.

Citing intelligence information, the report said that Iran has now deployed mobile launchers at these sites. As a result, the country will be able to quickly change locations and launch missiles from different areas. In addition, some sites also have permanent launch pads, from which it is possible to directly hit targets.

According to US intelligence, only three of the 33 missile sites adjacent to Hormuz were completely destroyed in the US and Israeli attacks. The report mentioned that the remaining sites were partially damaged but were quickly reactivated. According to analysts, this could lead to renewed military tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and increase the security risk for shipping.

Meanwhile, Reuters reported that Saudi Arabia has also carried out covert strikes inside Iran during the Iran-Israel war. The report, citing two Western officials, said that Saudi Arabia carried out multiple covert operations in March. However, details about which Iranian facilities were attacked were not disclosed.
