Army chief says missiles, drones primed as Israeli threats not over
Iran’s Army Chief Major General Amir Hatami said Iran’s missile and drone capabilities remain strong and ready for operations, warning that Israel’s threats should not be considered over.
During a speech to the Army’s Ground Force on Sunday, Hatami emphasized that the Iranian nation, through perseverance and resilience, defeated the enemy, but cautioned that a minimal threat should be treated with utmost seriousness.
“We must not underestimate the enemy or consider its threat over,” Hatami said, echoing Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, who said, “We must treat even a one-percent threat as a hundred-percent threat.”
Hatami stated that despite sustaining some losses, including the killing of several commanders, distinguished scientists, and innocent civilians by the Israeli regime during its recent aggression against Iran, the Islamic Republic emerged victorious in this unequal confrontation, inflicted significant damage on the enemy, and thwarted its plots.”
He went on say that, “Just as we continued our strikes until the very moment a cease-fire was imposed on the enemy, we will resolutely continue our path in the defense industry, scientific and technological domains, and all other areas.”
“Today, all armed forces and the four branches of the Army are moving even faster toward the heights of science and technology and are more determined than ever to enhance combat capabilities and preparedness,” he added.
He concluded his speech by saying, “With our established plans and strategies, the Army Ground Forces has been on a positive and growing trajectory in enhancing combat readiness, increasing mobility, and developing intelligence and operational capabilities.”
On June 13, the Israeli regime assaulted Iran by attacking several civilian, military, and nuclear facilities.
During the early hours of the war, the regime managed to assassinate a number of Iran’s military leaders and nuclear scientists.
In response to the unprovoked act of aggression, Iran launched a flurry of drones and missiles towards the occupied territories, under the codename True Promise III.
Iran succeeded in inflicting significant damage upon the Israeli settlements and military facilities.
On June 22, the US Air Force and Navy attacked three Iranian nuclear facilities.
The following day, Iran’s military forces launched more than 30 drones and missiles towards Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the largest US military base in the region, in retaliation for the aggression and damaged various parts of the base.
On June 24, suffering heavy losses at the hands of Iran’s Armed Forces, the Israeli regime and the US were forced to agree to a halt in hostilities.
