TEHRAN, Jul. 08 – A senior military advisor to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says Iran has stockpiled several thousand missiles and drones in secure locations ready to defend the country against any aggression.
Press TV quoted Major General Yahya Rahim-Safavi as saying on Monday that the Armed Forces are fully prepared for any scenario, amid reports that Israel could launch another attack on Iran despite a ceasefire that ended 12 days of military aggression last month.
He noted that key military branches—such as the Navy and the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)—were not mobilized and the Army did not deploy its full capabilities as the Armed Forces fended off Israeli attacks.
“We have produced several thousand missiles and drones so far, and their place is secure,” he added.
“Peaceful nuclear energy and the manufacturing of missiles are the results of indigenous knowledge, intellect, and science,” and thus they cannot be destroyed, he said.
Rahim-Safavi also described Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a “wicked and criminal” person who has killed 60,000 people in Gaza and virtually 1,000 in Iran in pursuit of his own objectives.
However, he noted that Netanyahu “failed to achieve all his goals because the Islamic Republic was neither overthrown nor divided, and the people did not disperse. Although we suffered damage, we also inflicted damage on them (the Israelis).”
