Iran has rejected claims by the United States and Israel that its military has been weakened, with a senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) official describing the assertions as propaganda and psychological warfare.
Brigadier General Ali Balali, an adviser to the IRGC Aerospace Force, said Iran’s military capabilities had increased following the 40-day imposed war. He added that the country’s armed forces now possess significantly more resources and equipment, while domestic weapons production has also expanded.
According to a report by Al Jazeera, citing Iran’s Press TV, Balali said various equipment and resources had been seized from the country’s adversaries, and Iranian defence industry experts were now reverse-engineering them.
He also said domestic production of defence equipment had increased.
Pledging to continue boosting local production, Balali said the Islamic Republic was not seeking imported security like countries that rely on foreign sources for their national security.
