Military Chief: Iran's Ballistic Missiles Upgraded in All Technical Dimensions

“By upgrading its ballistic missiles in all technical dimensions, Iran has been able to strengthen its deterrence power,” he said on Wednesday during a visit to an Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) missile town.

Mousavi also expressed Iran’s readiness to confront any act of aggression by its enemies. 

“Following the 12-day war, we have changed our military doctrine from defensive to offensive by adopting the policy of asymmetric warfare and [boosting readiness for a] crushing response to the enemies,” the top general added.

On June 13, Israel launched a blatant aggression against Iran, triggering a 12-day war that martyred at least 1,000 people in the country, including military commanders, nuclear scientists, and ordinary civilians.

The United States also entered the war by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites in a grave violation of international law.

In response, the Iranian Armed Forces targeted strategic sites across the occupied territories as well as the Al-Udeid air base in Qatar, the largest American military base in West Asia.

On June 24, Iran, through its successful retaliatory operations against both the Israeli regime and the US, managed to impose a halt to the assault.

The Iranian Armed Forces have also warned the US that any renewed onslaught against Iran would prompt Tehran to teach Washington a "historic lesson".

Mousavi warned that any miscalculation by the Islamic Republic’s enemies would trigger a “rapid” and “decisive” response.

Iranian Armed Forces are prepared to respond forcefully to threats, he continued, adding, “We think only of victory. We have no fear of the enemy’s superficial might, and we are fully ready for confrontation and to deliver a retaliatory slap.”
