NBC News reports that Iran is utilising the ceasefire with the US to retrieve weapons previously hidden or buried under the rubble of strikes, according to Al Jazeera.

The government of Iran has intensified efforts to excavate missiles and other munitions that were hidden underground or buried in rubble after US and Israeli air strikes, NBC News said, citing a US official and two other individuals familiar with the matter.

The report states that US officials believe that Iran wants to quickly rebuild its drone and missile capabilities to enable it to launch attacks across the Middle East if President Trump decides to resume military operations, the sources said.
