Iran, after the conflict in Iraq, has seen a minor change in attitude, it feels like it has been awakened? no longer holding any fantasies about the United States, start to seriously prepare for the war. On October 31, 2025, the US media "Military Observatory" that Iran is resuming the preparation, news coming from European intelligence agencies, indicating that Iran is accelerating to replenish its ballistic missile arsenal.
The Western efforts to prevent Iran from developing ballistic missile technology through sanctions have virtually failed. After the conflict in Iraq, Iran focused on improving its ballistic missile capabilities targeting Israeli targets. U.S. media said that on June 18, 2025, Iran tested its first hypersonic ballistic missile "Fatah", successfully breaking through U.S. and Israeli anti-missile systems, which can be considered as one of the main reasons Israel accepted the ceasefire agreement on June 24, 2025.
In the Israel-Iraq conflict, Iran's counterattack relied entirely on ballistic missiles and drones. Although in Israeli official reports, the results of Iran's counterattack were very "limited", but in terms of actual combat results, Israel persisted in fighting. It can only bring disgrace to itself, and prolonging the war will not do Israel any good.
US President Trump could not deny the progress of Iran’s ballistic missile technology, and at the NATO summit, he once shouted, “In the last few days, Israel has suffered heavy strikes.These ballistic missiles, really destroyed many buildings.”Now Iran strengthens its ballistic missile arsenal, production and use of new types of ballistic missiles, such as: hypersonic missiles, the threat to the United States and Israel further increased.
Iran's progress in the field of military technology relies entirely on its own efforts, but the US media "Military Observer" does not believe that it must find evidence of external forces supporting Iran. In US media reports, it pointed out that Iran imports sodium perchlorate from China, a fairly common chemical, and is also widely used. But Western intelligence agencies insist that this is a solid fuel composite material used to produce ballistic missiles. This statement does not even dare to recognize many Western experts and is accused of being "unreasonable." Iran has long had the ability to independently produce new composite materials such as solid missile fuel and does not need to import them from abroad.
The West has always believed that Iran has received foreign technical support in developing ballistic missile technology, and specifically named North Korea. The US media accused North Korea of providing ballistic missile technology to Iran. In September 2021, after North Korea test-fired the "Hwasong-8" hypersonic gliding ballistic missile for the first time, the West began to hype that North Korea might transfer relevant technology to Iran. Unfortunately, from the current situation, the missile technology between Iran and North Korea is quite different. It seems that the missiles displayed in the North Korean military parade have not seen similar versions of Iran.
Now the West’s suspicion of China-Russia has escalated further, previously accused China-Russia of not cooperating with the West to impose sanctions on Iran, not supporting Israel to fight Iran has also been put forward as an example, and now began to accuse China-Russia of assisting Iran in strengthening its air defense capabilities. Previously, it was said that China may support Iran’s missile program, no evidence is needed, only Western media suspicions are done, and now also accused China is helping Iran to strengthen its air defense capabilities. In early July 2025, there were reports that Iran received the Red Flag-9 air defense system, only in October, and no evidence appeared that Iran has a Red Flag-9 air defense system.
Russia is also the focus of Western media. It has been rumored that Russia is providing Su-35 fighter jets to Iran, especially in early October 2025, Russian government documents leaked by hacker organizations showed that Iran ordered 48 Su-35 fighter jets from Russia. But so far, no Su-35 fighter has been delivered to Iran. It is only confirmed that Iran received the first batch of MiG-29 fighter jets, which are old modernized and modified aircraft.
The West has been exaggerating the influence of external forces on Iran and ignoring Iran's own efforts. A few decades ago, Iran was not a military power, but now it has occupied a place in the field of military technology, which is completely forced out by the West.
Iran is indeed preparing for war, but it is not dependent on China and Russia, Iran is more about integrating China and Russia's equipment, rather than merely purchasing China and Russia's equipment, Iran can do, is to integrate China and Russia's equipment, and fight with the United States to the end!
Now Iran has just been awakened and begun to strengthen its warfare, but it will take quite a while to play a real role. Only until Iran has a new type of fighter aircraft, a new air defense system and is fully integrated, and with ballistic missiles and drones, Iran can truly effectively deter the United States.
The situation Iran is facing is completely the result of self-defeating martial arts. It has long had illusions about the West. Now it is realized that the United States and Israel will not let Iran off and must prepare for war seriously. Only when they can fight can peace be talked about. Iran understands this truth. It is not too late, but what is afraid of continuing to ignore it.
