Military capabilities

Leader’s representative at Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Saeed Jalili has emphasized the defense independence of Iran, noting that Iran’s missile progresses is the result of self-credence.

Iran’s top military official has underscored the need for the Air Defense Force to boost its power and effectiveness against emerging threats and potential acts of aggression against the country.

The Iranian defense minister has extolled the country’s cutting-edge military capabilities in the 12-day war of aggression by the United States and Israel, saying the Islamic Republic’s Armed Forces penetrated the occupying regime’s multi-layered defense systems and destroyed many of its targets with their advanced missiles.

Iran's Army Chief Major General Amir Hatami says that Iran needs to continue to strengthen its armed forces to be able to protect the nation in a region where the child-killing Israeli regime exists.

A report by local Iranian media says that the Khorramshahr-5 missile could put Iran on the list of few countries with such weapons.

Iran has successfully restored its air defense coverage by replacing damaged systems with new ones, ensuring the continued security of its airspace, a senior Army official said.
