100 Raketen pro Monat vs. 7 Abfangjäger – Warum CENTCOM auf Fabriken umgestiegen ist

On 2 March, Secretary of State Rubio publicly stated that Iran produces „over 100 of these missiles a month“ against „six or seven interceptors that can be built a month.“ On 16 March, CENTCOM Admiral Cooper confirmed the campaign had shifted from neutralising launch threats to destroying Iran’s „wider manufacturing apparatus.“ This analysis connects those two statements, separated by two weeks, and examines the production differential that appears to have driven the strategy change. Sources are primary throughout: CENTCOM commander video update, IDF spokesperson via Alma Center daily report, Israeli government emergency procurement records, and Rubio’s Capitol Hill remarks. The FOMC opens today and announces tomorrow into a market that must now price a campaign whose timeline has extended.
