Iran’s missile capabilities remain among the country’s strongest defense assets, demonstrating its ability to strike deep into enemy territory. However, decades of cruel sanctions have prevented access to modern fighter jets and advanced aerial technologies—shortcomings that were laid bare in recent events. While Iran boasts strong offensive missile power, there is a pressing need to upgrade its air defense systems with modern equipment.
Neither the Iranian government nor its people seek war. The bitter legacy of the previous conflict and its economic and human toll is well understood. Even in the most recent confrontation, despite delivering major blows to the enemy and damaging the security image of the Israeli regime, Iran’s economy also suffered collateral damage. Any new conflict could impose enormous costs on the country’s economy and the livelihoods of its citizens.
To avoid such outcomes, the government must leverage diplomatic channels to resolve tensions with the West and dispel the specter of war. At the same time, the Iranian people must continue to support prudent and strategic policymaking—maintaining unity so that adversaries think twice before contemplating any aggression.
Iran has already proven its ability to stand firm against powerful adversaries. But for its deterrence to be truly comprehensive and enduring, equal investment must be made not only in military might, but also in economic resilience and social cohesion.
