IRGC Adviser: Iran Can Sustain Daily Strikes on Israel for 2 Years
(MENAFN) Iran retains enough military power to launch sustained daily attacks on Israel for up to two years, a senior adviser to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) declared on Monday.
“Our armed forces are at the height of their readiness,” Major General Ebrahim Jabbari told a news agency.
“Currently, the warehouses, underground missile bases, and facilities we have are so enormous that we have yet to demonstrate the majority of our defense capabilities and effective missiles," he said.
“In case of a war with Israel and the US, our facilities will not run out even if we launch missiles at them every day for two years.”
Echoing Jabbari’s remarks, Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi—chief military adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei—also emphasized the country’s untapped firepower.
"The Zionists know that some of our forces, such as the Navy and the Quds Force, have not yet entered into battle, and even the army has not entered yet," Safavi was quoted as saying by media.
"So far, we have produced several thousand missiles and drones, and their place is secure," he added.
The latest round of hostilities between Iran and Israel began on June 13, when Israeli forces carried out airstrikes targeting Iranian military, nuclear, and civilian infrastructure. According to Iran’s Health Ministry, at least 935 people were killed and 5,332 wounded.
In response, Tehran launched missile and drone counterstrikes that left at least 29 people dead and more than 3,400 injured, based on data from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
The fighting came to a halt on June 24 following a U.S.-brokered ceasefire.
