Iran's Revolutionary Guard Claims 90% of Missiles Intact and Production Facilities Restored

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran has claimed that it retains 90 percent of its missile stockpile and that its missile production rate is significantly outpacing usage.

It also stated that production facilities damaged by U.S. and Israeli airstrikes have been promptly restored and are now operating at a higher level than before.

Mohammad Reza Naqdi, an adviser to the IRGC commander-in-chief, boasted about the nation's military power in an interview with the pro-Hezbollah Lebanese media outlet Al Mayadeen on the 31st of last month, local time.

"We still retain 90 percent of our missiles," Naqdi emphasized, adding, "Our missile arsenal continues to be replenished with new missiles, and production is overwhelming consumption."

In particular, he revealed that authorities swiftly repaired the missile production facilities that had suffered damage from the airstrikes.

"All facilities have been rebuilt in extremely secure locations and are recording higher production rates than before by utilizing modern, advanced high technology," General Naqdi added.

He also explained that Iran possesses the capability to completely conceal its production facilities—both above and below ground—across hundreds of cities and industrial complexes within the country.

Stressing that Iran's top priority is "achieving deterrence" rather than war or negotiations, General Naqdi did not hold back a strong warning directed at the United States.

"If the U.S. wishes to make rational decisions that serve its own interests, it will not start another war with us," he warned, adding, "If the enemy attacks Iran, it will pay a heavy price."

Targeting U.S. President Donald Trump, he harshly criticized, "He plans wars in a way that generates profits in the stock market or allows his associates to profit from the oil sector."

He also claimed that the reason past military conflicts halted was because "the United States was overwhelmed, suffered losses, and was defeated."

"Even if enemies build concrete walls around Iran and isolate it, Iran will remain steadfast and powerful," General Naqdi expressed, showing a strong will for resistance.

He also flaunted internal unity, stating that the relationship between the hardline Revolutionary Guard and the government is in top shape and extremely solid.
