The chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says Israel is within the range of most of the Islamic Republic’s missiles.
“Any one bearing greater enmity towards Islamic Iran will naturally be more fearful of such capabilities and preparednesses,” Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said on Tuesday during the final stage of large-scale missile drills, code-named Eqtedar-e-Velayat.
The IRGC Aerospace Division on Tuesday held the final stage of the exercises by firing ballistic missiles from silo-based launchers in different locations across the country.
The maneuvers are aimed at displaying Iran’s “deterrence power” and the country’s “full readiness to confront all kinds of threats against the [Islamic] Revolution, establishment and [Iran’s] territorial integrity,” the IRGC division said.
Jafari further said that defense power and national security are Iran’s red lines which are by no means negotiable.
He added that the firing of ballistic missiles was a crushing response to the enemies of the Islamic Republic who have imposed sanctions on Iran’s missile program.
The commander added that sanctions have helped the country boost its missile power, achieve self-reliance and manufacture all its missiles.
He emphasized that sanctions and enemies’ security pressure have failed to impact Iran’s missile power, saying the Armed Forces and IRGC have grown into a unique power in the region.
Jafari said the missile drills were staged to convey a message of security to the Iranian nation and the neighboring countries.
“Iran’s security is the security of regional countries and our efforts are in line with establishing security in the region,” he added.
Last October, Iran successfully test-fired its precision-guided long-range Emad missile.
