Brigadier General Ali Fadavi, deputy commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), speaking on the sidelines of a ceremony commemorating the martyrs of the IRGC’s Aerospace Forces, dismissed enemy claims about limits on Iran’s ballistic missile range as “non-expert opinions” lacking technical understanding.
He pointed out that the missile range framework followed by Iran was defined by the late Imam Khomeini, and stressed that it has nothing to do with limiting the capabilities of the Revolutionary Guards.
“The Revolutionary Guards is a dynamic and progressive organization that remains firmly on the path of progress,” Fadavi asserted.
He also praised the efforts of Martyr Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam and other aerospace martyrs who contributed to the development of Iran’s missile industry, saying, “When God sees us fulfilling our duty, He will give us victory.”
Earlier this week, Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme Council for National Security, stressed that the country’s missile program is not a Western intervention and that raising such issues reveals the hegemonic policies of the United States and some European countries.
