Brigadier General Mohammad-Reza Naqdi announced during a televised interview on Tuesday that the production of ballistic missiles and drones in the country surpasses the rate at which they are deployed. He stated that the Islamic Republic’s Armed Forces receive these ballistic missiles and drones in numbers greater than required for immediate deployment. He declared that, regardless of the war’s duration, their ballistic missiles would persistently target the adversary. Naqdi praised Iran’s domestic weapons production, commending the Armed Forces for effectively challenging the American military, despite the latter’s significantly larger annual budget. Multiple American media outlets and officials have expressed the United States’ mounting frustration over the reprisal, highlighting Washington’s strategic uncertainty and the depletion of its missile stockpiles.
