Mousavi: Upgraded Iranian Ballistic Missiles Sharpen Deterrence

Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, stated that Iran has bolstered its deterrence capabilities through upgrades to domestically produced ballistic missiles.

Mousavi made the remarks on Wednesday during a visit to an Islamic Revolutionary Guards [IRG] missile town, according Mehr News Agency .

“By upgrading its ballistic missiles in all technical dimensions, Iran has been able to strengthen its deterrence power,” Iran’s top military official said during the visit, accompanied by Brigadier General Majid Mousavi, commander of the IRG Aerospace Force.

Mousavi said Iran is ready to confront any aggression, noting it has shifted to offensive asymmetric warfare after last June’s US-“Israeli” attacks that claimed over 1,000 people.
