Iranian maintenance specialists have fully overhauled damaged missile launchers following a 12-day conflict, making them operational again, according to an English-subtitled report by Iranian TV. First images emerged of these refurbished and new launchers delivered to the IRGC Aerospace Force, alongside upgraded ballistic missiles. A senior commander stated that Iran's missile power is increasing hourly. These developments occurred within the reporting window of October 18th, 2025, between 6:09 PM and 9:09 PM UTC. Coinciding with these military updates, Iran, Russia, and China issued a joint letter emphasizing that the complete and timely termination of Resolution 2231 would signify the end of the review of Tehran's nuclear issue in the Security Council. They urged relevant parties to commit to a political solution through diplomatic dialogue and avoid escalatory actions. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu commented on the situation, stating, "We removed the Iranian danger - is it over? It's not over," indicating ongoing concerns despite perceived progress. The IRGC Aerospace Force's claim of increasing missile power suggests a continued focus on military capabilities.
