In a message following the unveiling, Qalibaf praised the scientists, engineers, commanders and military personnel whose years of efforts brought the major project to fruition despite sanctions, military and security threats, and wartime conditions.
He said the achievement demonstrates Iran’s ability to advance its capabilities in highly sophisticated technologies by relying on domestic expertise even under severe restrictions and during war.
Describing the new missile facility as part of Iran’s efforts to establish sustainable deterrence, the Parliament speaker said such deterrence is built through defensive preparedness, continued progress and national cohesion, and firmly established in the minds of adversaries.
Addressing those who continue to threaten Iran with military action, Qalibaf warned against miscalculations, stressing that Iran would not hesitate to deliver a swift and unexpected response to any hostile move. He added that, this time, the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran would determine the geography of the war.
The IRGC Aerospace Force unveiled the new missile city on Tuesday, displaying a range of ballistic and cruise missiles alongside their launch systems. The ceremony was attended by Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Ali Abdollahi and IRGC Aerospace Force Commander Brigadier General Majid Mousavi.
