Brigadier General Mohammad-Reza Naghdi, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)’s deputy commander for coordination, made the remarks during a televised interview on Saturday.

“Less than five percent of our country’s defensive capacity was actually activated” during the Islamic Republic’s counterstrikes against the regime, he noted.

“And by ‘activated’ I do not mean ‘spent.’ It merely means that five percent of our defense units became engaged with the enemy,” the official stated.

“This means our principal capabilities remain untouched and have not entered the fray at all,” he noted, reasserting, “The full magnitude of our forces has yet to reveal itself; it has not even come onto the stage [yet].”

The Israeli regime launched the warfare on June 13, prompting the Islamic Republic to respond with a whopping number of ballistic missiles, including hypersonic variants, which were fired towards strategic nuclear, military, and industrial targets across the occupied Palestinian territories.
