Iran ​has already ​restarted some ‌of its drone ​production during the six-week ceasefire ‌that began in early April, CNN reported on Thursday, citing two sources familiar ‌with U.S. intelligence assessments. US intelligence ‌indicates Iran's military is rebuilding much faster than initially estimated, the report ⁠added, ​citing ⁠four sources.

Reuters could not immediately verify the ⁠report. U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday ​said the United States was ready ⁠to proceed with further attacks on ⁠Tehran ​if Iran did not agree to a peace deal, ⁠but suggested Washington could wait a few ⁠days ⁠to "get the right answers."
