IRGC deputy: Iran's strengthening continues unabated in all sectors

The deputy commander of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) says Iran's path toward greater strength remains ongoing in all sectors, including the IRGC Aerospace Force, emphasizing that "this process has no end."

Brigadier General Ali Fadavi made the remarks on Thursday, dismissing foreign claims about limitations on Iran's missile range as uninformed and unscientific.

Iran continues to advance its power and capabilities across all areas, he added, emphasizing that "In the IRGC Aerospace Force as well, the process of becoming stronger continues; this process has no end."

Regarding the enemies' claims about the possible restriction of Iran's ballistic missile range, Fadavi stressed that such comments "are not based on any expertise at all, and they have no knowledge in this field."

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei "specified a limit concerning missile range, and we obey his command. This has nothing to do with our scientific and industrial capabilities," added the IRGC deputy commander, stressing that "we comply with what the Leader have ordered."

He also noted that in recent years, the crimes of "the Great Satan" (the United States) have become evident to all.

Referring to the recent 12-day war, Fadavi said that "In this war, God fulfilled His promise and granted victory to a nation that stood firm for truth. The condition for realizing divine promises is the fulfillment of divine duties, and the devotees of the Islamic Revolution have carried out their divine obligations."

On June 13, 2025, Israel launched strikes on Iran, hitting civilian, military, and nuclear sites and killing several Iranian commanders and scientists. Iran responded with Operation True Promise III, launching waves of drones and missiles that heavily damaged Israeli settlements and military targets.

On June 22, the US Air Force and Navy bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities to aid Israel, prompting Iran to retaliate the next day with Operation Glad Tidings of Victory, striking a US base in Qatar. After severe losses, both Israel and the US agreed to a ceasefire on June 24.

"The IRGC, in carrying out its divine duty, has not wasted even 24 hours, and this process continues. In the 12-day war, all the world powers joined forces against Iran but were defeated, because the devotees of the Islamic Revolution performed their divine duties," Fadavi stressed.

The IRGC deputy commander also emphasized that "all the wicked powers of the world, with all their might, have failed to achieve even a single victory over the Islamic Revolution."

He further stated that the IRGC Aerospace Force has worked tirelessly to strengthen its defensive capabilities and will continue to do so, adding: "We are constantly striving to enhance our combat power. You saw in the case of the Shahed-136 drone that they (the enemies) even tried to copy our achievement and admitted that it is the best drone in the world."

Fadavi also said the IRGC Aerospace Force has tirelessly strengthened its defenses and will continue to do so, noting that even the enemies have tried to copy the Shahed-136 drone and admitted that it is "the best drone in the world."
