The commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Major General Ahmad Vahidi, said Thursday that no threat or external coercive measure will prevent the Persian nation from continuing to consolidate its strategic and aerospace development. The statement was made in the framework of the commemoration of the National Aerospace Industry Day of the Islamic Republic.

According to statements made during the day, the military high command highlighted the progress made in the deployment of defensive complexes and noted that Iranian forces are building infrastructure “in the heart of the mountains and deep in the earth.” He also highlighted that these developments honor the legacy of Hassan Tehrani Moqaddam, a figure considered the father of Iran's missile program.

General Vahidi's speech came after the recent inauguration of a new underground facility dedicated to manufacturing weapons for the IRGC Aerospace Force. In this context, the official warned that the nation's defense bodies are fully prepared to respond decisively to any scenario of foreign aggression.

With these actions, the Islamic Republic of Iran reaffirms its policy of deterrence and technological sovereignty in the face of international pressure. Military authorities reiterated that the strengthening of their underground military industry responds to the need to guarantee the country's security and territorial integrity.
