Iranian Army: We Have Not Stopped Producing Missiles for a Single Moment Since the Israeli War

SadaNews: The spokesperson for the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, confirmed today, Thursday, that Iranian missiles have destroyed vital targets in Israel.

According to Mehr News Agency, Brigadier General Shekarchi's statements were made during a speech at Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, where he explained that "the missiles of Iran, made by experts, have penetrated all of the enemy's expensive air defense systems and destroyed vital targets in the Zionist entity."

Brigadier General Shekarchi stated that "comprehensive defense against the enemy includes military, security, political, economic, and social defense, and if this path is followed, success and victory over the enemy will inevitably be ours, and based on this reasoning and logic, the Iranian people have successfully navigated more than 40 years."

The Iranian military leader noted that "the enemy is constantly opposing the Iranian people, our youth, and our country, for many reasons, the most important of which is opposing Iran's independence, because the enemies of the liberated peoples of the world cannot tolerate Iran's independence, as they do not want an independent Iran."

He reported that the Iranian aerospace industries have succeeded in developing and launching the "Fattah" missile, which successfully penetrated some of the most advanced air defense systems in the world and hit specified targets in Israel with extreme precision.

He pointed out that "the enemy has shifted its hostility to the soft and cognitive domains, and that Iran possesses the knowledge, experience, and capability to manage soft war and cognitive war, and it can turn the threats in this sphere into opportunities."

On June 13, 2025, Israel launched surprise airstrikes in an operation dubbed "Rising Lion," targeting military sites and nuclear facilities in Iran, most notably the main uranium enrichment facility in Natanz.

The Israeli strikes resulted in the deaths of several nuclear scientists, prominent military leaders, and Iranian officials, including the commander of the Revolutionary Guard, Hossein Salami, the chief of staff of the army, Mohammad Bagheri, and the commander of the aerospace forces in the Revolutionary Guard, Amir Ali Hajizadeh.

Iran responded with missile strikes against Israel in a military operation named "Truthful Promise 3," targeting dozens of military sites and airbases in Israel, affirming that the operation would continue as long as necessary.

Israel justified its attacks by claiming that Iran had reached a "point of no return" in uranium enrichment and was close to possessing a nuclear weapon, a claim that Tehran denies, insisting that its nuclear activities are solely for peaceful purposes.

The United States also launched an attack on three Iranian nuclear facilities in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan on the night of June 22 last year. According to Washington, "the attack aimed to destroy or severely weaken the Iranian nuclear program."

Days later, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced a response to the United States by striking the U.S. "Al-Udeid" base in Qatar, subsequently leading to a ceasefire agreement between Tehran and Tel Aviv.
