Iran Army Navy says it has developed new weapons to target US vulnerabilities

A deputy commander of the Iranian Army Navy said in an interview that the country's armed forces have learned from the experience of recent wars and that the Army Navy has produced new weaponry designed to match the vulnerabilities and weaknesses of the enemy. He described enemy threats as nothing new, saying the Islamic Republic of Iran has consistently faced threats since the beginning of the Islamic Revolution, voiced sometimes covertly and at other times openly.

The commander claimed that following Iranian retaliatory strikes, adversaries have withdrawn significantly from Iran's maritime borders and are now positioned at their greatest distance since the Iran-Iraq War. He referred to two wars imposed against Iran, dated June 13 and February 28, and said the Army Navy, alongside the Navy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has at times dealt heavy blows to the American enemy, which he said have occasionally been acknowledged by the opposing side as well. As a result of these blows, he said, US forces have moved away from Iran's maritime borders and are now positioned at the greatest distance from them compared to previous periods.

The deputy commander also addressed the issue of a naval blockade, stating that the government is pursuing strategies to counter the situation in the political and economic spheres. He did not provide further details on the specific measures being considered.

The remarks reflect ongoing tensions in the region and Iran's stated focus on developing military capabilities in response to perceived threats. The commander's comments were reported by Mehr News.
