The Iranian army announced on Wednesday that all weapons systems damaged during a recent war have been rebuilt and that new systems have been imported into the country. A spokesman for the army, Mohammad Akraminia, told state television that systems belonging to all forces that had been damaged have been restored and new systems have also been imported. He added that these acquisitions have strengthened the country's combat capabilities. According to the reports, some of the new equipment was supplied by the Iranian defence industry and the army itself, while other systems were acquired from abroad. The conflict, which began in late February, was triggered by US-Israeli airstrikes against Iran. An armistice was reached in April, ending nearly 40 days of intense bombing. ## Disagreement on War's Trigger Digi 24 reported that the war was triggered by joint American-Israeli airstrikes against the Islamic Republic, which retaliated by targeting countries allied with Washington. Other reports did not specify the trigger for the war. ## What the coverage left out None of the centre or right-rated reports mentioned the specific duration of the armistice, stating only that it ended the conflict. The left-rated outlets did not run this story. ## Who covered it Shares of the 7 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 0% (0) - Centre: 29% (2) - Right: 71% (5) 6 of 13 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.

Both Digi 24 and Times of Malta carried the statement from army spokesperson Mohammad Akraminia. Digi 24 also included details about the war's trigger, stating it was US-Israeli airstrikes, and mentioned the armistice ending 40 days of bombing. ### Right - The right-rated reports focused on the Iranian military's assertion that all war-damaged weapons systems had been rebuilt and that new systems had been imported. Protothema, Sapo, De Telegraaf, Free Malaysia Today News, and Yonhap News Agency all carried this central claim. Yonhap News Agency added that the Iranian military announced it had completed the reconstruction of weapon systems damaged by airstrikes from the US and Israel. **Provisional coverage gap:** left.
