Tehran: Satellite imagery shows Iran reconstructing missile-production facilities that Israel targetted during the 12-day war in June. The Associated Press reports that Tehran has restarted work on these sites. A critical piece of equipment, which is large mixers meant for producing solid fuel, has not so far been installed.

Citing missile experts, the news agency reports that Tehran aims to obtain these mixers. Known as lanetary mixers, the machines have rotating blades around a central axis. They mix fuel better than other equipment. Experts and U.S. officials say Iran has purchased similar components from China in the past.

Iran operates solid-fuel missile facilities at Khojir and Parchin, near Tehran, and at Shahroud, about 350 kilometres northeast of the capital.
