Major General Ali Abdollahi made the remarks in a message addressed to Brigadier General Seyyed Majid Mousavi, Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force, marking the 15th anniversary of the martyrdom of IRGC Major General Hassan Tehrani Moqaddam, widely revered as the father of Iran’s missile program.
“We warn the United States and the Zionist regime once again that the previous slaps were only the beginning of the story, and in the event of any new miscalculation, far more lethal blows await them,” he stated.
He emphasized that this is a “credible threat” entirely within the capabilities and realities of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Armed Forces.
Furthermore, he declared that any location serving as a center of threat against the existence of the Islamic Republic system will be the direct target of asymmetric operations.
Western air defenses paralyzed by Iranian technology
Reflecting on the achievements of the IRGC Aerospace Force, the Chief of Staff praised the “pride-inspiring victories” in the True Promise and Nasr operations against the US-Israeli-imposed wars.
He noted that the force has successfully navigated the path of self-reliance from zero to one hundred, ending the country’s need for foreign weapons imports and elevating Iran from a mere arms buyer to a top producer and exporter of strategic equipment.
“What was proven on the real battlefield, especially during the last year and a half, was the failure of Western highly-claimed defensive equipment against Iranian will and technology,” he asserted.
‘Surprises to come one after another’: Top commander warns enemies as Iran unveils new missile city
General Abdollahi pointed out that the advanced systems of the US-Israeli enemy were rendered ineffective and paralyzed against the speed, maneuverability, and capabilities of Iranian missiles and drones.
The top military commander further revealed that the resilience of Iran’s missile and drone industries has reached a level where continuous weapons manufacturing is possible even under heavy enemy fire and bombardment.
He noted that production lines located deep within underground tunnels are actively increasing the country’s defensive and military assets, ensuring that the enemy can never halt the cycle of manufacturing, upgrading, and modernizing Iran’s weapons under any circumstances.
Concluding his message, General Abdollahi reaffirmed the unwavering commitment of the armed forces to executing the directives of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, vowing to defend the nation’s sovereignty without a moment’s hesitation.
