Evidence of females successfully raising cubs is very rare.
A few observations in Iran indicate that they give birth throughout the year to one to four cubs.
In April 2003, four cubs were found in a den that had their eyes still closed.
In November 2004, a cub was recorded by a camera-trap that was about 6–8 months old.
Breeding success depends on availability of prey.
In January 2008, a male cub aged about 7–8 months was recovered from a sheep herder and brought into captivity.

In October 2013, conservationists from the Persian Wildlife Heritage Foundation filmed a mother with four cubs in Khar Turan National Park.
In December 2014, four cheetahs were sighted and photographed by camera traps in the same national park.
In January 2015, three other adult Asiatic cheetahs and a female with her cub were sighted in Miandasht Wildlife Refuge.
Eleven cheetahs were also sighted at the time, and another four a month later.
In July 2015, five adult cheetahs and three cubs were spotted in Khar Turan National Park.

The Asiatic cheetah population is considered to be on the rise.
In December 2015, it is reported that 18 new Asiatic cheetah cubs had recently been born and it was hoped for two captive Asian cheetahs at Pardisan Park would produce cubs.
