Iran to strike any location worldwide used to launch attacks against it: Senior commander

Brigadier General Seyyed Majid Mousavi was attending the unveiling ceremony of a new missile city belonging to the IRGC Aerospace Force on Tuesday.

He said the capabilities inherited from previous commanders had provided Iran with a reliable defensive tool to protect the country and its people.

“If necessary, we will bring under fire all their capabilities in the region and beyond, leaving the enemy with nothing but defeat and retreat.”

 “We are now adequately and reliably prepared to confront any threat, both within the region and beyond,” the commander said.

Mousavi also credited public support for strengthening Iran’s ability to withstand external pressure, referring to more than nine months of public presence on the streets and public gatherings.

Iran would respond forcefully if a threat materialized, General Mousavi warned.

The IRGC Aerospace Force personnel would remain ready to serve in any future confrontation, as they had during the previous two wars, the commander said.

The unveiling ceremony was also attended by Major General Ali Abdollahi, chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces.

According to the report, the newly unveiled facility is part of the missile infrastructure of the IRGC Aerospace Force, which supports the operational capabilities of missile units and helps maintain their readiness to respond to potential threats.

Iran regards its missile capabilities as a key component of its military deterrence strategy. The development of related infrastructure, alongside the production and upgrading of missiles, is central to maintaining Iran’s defense readiness.

The unveiling comes amid the United States’ heightened military adventurism in West Asia and increasingly hostile rhetoric by American officials against the Islamic Republic.

Tehran has repeatedly warned that US bases and naval assets across the region will be targeted in response to any renewed aggression against Iranian territory.
