Major General Ali Abdullahi confirmed that Iran has achieved self-sufficiency in the production of weapons and military equipment, and has moved from a weapons importer to a producer and exporter of strategic equipment, and that the Iranian missile and air-space industries are able to continue production even in light of intense bombing, thanks to the production lines located in tunnels and underground facilities.
The Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces and Commander of Khatam al-Anbia Headquarters, Major General Ali Abdullah, renewed his threats that Iran will respond to any direct threat against it from any party and that this party will become a direct target for “asymmetric” operations, as he put it.
Abdullahi added, according to what was reported by the official Iranian news agency: “The previous strikes were only the beginning, and any new error in calculations will be met with much more deadly strikes... Every focal point of threat against Iran will be a direct target of asymmetric operations.”
He continued: "The strategic achievements of the Air-Space Force, which were embodied in Operations Al-Waad Al-Sadiq and Al-Victory, reflected the development of Iran's defense capabilities," pointing out that Iran "has achieved self-sufficiency in the field of weapons and military equipment production, and has moved from a position of arms importer to a country that produces and exports strategic equipment."
He added: "The field confrontations, especially during the past eighteen months, demonstrated the inability of Western, American and Israeli defense systems to confront Iranian missiles and drones, and that the Iranian missile and air-space industries are now able to continue production even in light of intense bombardment, thanks to the production lines located in tunnels and underground facilities."
Abdullahi went on to say: “The Iranian Armed Forces will not hesitate to implement the directives of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, His Eminence Ayatollah Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei... The previous strikes were only the beginning, and any new miscalculation will be met with a more deadly response.”
