Iran warns of devastating response to new threats

In a message to the acting defence minister marking National Defence Industry Day, Major General Ali Abdollahi said the defence industry was an irreplaceable pillar of national power and had undergone a "deterrent defence industrial revolution" in recent years, covering design, technology management, defence economics, the knowledge-based chain and smart production.

Abdollahi paid tribute to the martyrs of Iran's defence industry, including Fakhrizadeh, Nasirzadeh and Namjou. He said the armed forces, with comprehensive, intelligent and updated readiness across all land, sea, air, air defence, space and cyber domains, "will confront any miscalculation and conventional and new threats from enemies with revolutionary, crushing, regret-inducing and devastating responses."

According to Mehr News Agency (MNA), the message was delivered on the occasion of National Defence Industry Day, highlighting the progress and readiness of Iran's defence sector. The remarks come amid ongoing tensions and threats from adversaries, underscoring Iran's commitment to maintaining a strong deterrent capability.
