| 0:00.0 | This is some of your reporting on Iran's military capabilities now. |
| 0:04.0 | What did you learn? What can you tell us this morning? |
| 0:07.0 | Yes, Sarah, we're learning that Iran is working to actively rebuild its production facilities |
| 0:13.0 | and replenish its weapons inventories after taking on significant damage in those initial U.S.-Israeli strikes. And look, one example of this |
| 0:22.9 | that sources said is reflected in the U.S. intelligence assessments is that Iran is already producing |

| 1:33.9 | Operation Epic Fury significantly degraded Iran's ballistic missiles and drones while destroying |
| 1:39.2 | 90% of their defense industrial base, ensuring that Iran cannot reconstitute for years. |
| 1:46.7 | So we're also told that Iran still maintains significant ballistic missile capability and |
