IRGC General Says Iran's Missile Production Will Continue Under Bombardment

General Abdollahi, in a message addressed to Brigadier General Seyyed Majid Mousavi, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force, said Iran's missile and drone industries have reached a level of resilience that allows uninterrupted weapons production even under heavy enemy fire and bombardment. The message was released to mark Aban 21, the 15th anniversary of the martyrdom of Major General Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam, widely described as the "father" of Iran's missile program, who was killed along with several comrades while carrying out their assigned missions.

In the message, Abdollahi commemorated all commanders, specialists, combatants and elites of the IRGC, calling the force a source of pride for the Iranian people and the Islamic Resistance Front. He congratulated Mousavi on what he described as victories in the "second and third Sacred Defenses" wars, which he attributed to the American-Zionist enemy. He said any location posing a threat to Iran would be considered a direct target for asymmetric operations, and warned the United States and Israel that previous strikes by Iran's armed forces were "merely the beginning" and that any new miscalculation would bring more devastating attacks. Abdollahi described the warning as credible and grounded in the capabilities and realities of Iran's armed forces.

The message said Iran's armed forces would not hesitate to implement the directives of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, and repeated that any location serving as a hub for threats against the Islamic Republic would become a direct target of asymmetric operations.

Earlier on Tuesday, during an IRGC Aerospace Force ceremony unveiling a new underground missile city, Abdollahi said Iranian armed forces would employ new missiles in a future war with the enemy. He praised the role of the armed forces in defending the Islamic Republic and described IRGC Aerospace Force personnel and other servicemen as "the true heroes of this country."

According to Mehr News, the statements came as Iran marked the anniversary of Tehrani Moghaddam's death and as IRGC officials publicly highlighted the country's missile and drone production capacity.
