Iran claims missile and drone production exceeds deployment rates
Iranian military officials have asserted that the nation maintains significant missile and drone capabilities despite ongoing tensions with the United States and Israel. Brigadier General Mohammad-Reza Naqdi, a senior advisor to the IRGC, stated that Iran's production of ballistic missiles and drones currently exceeds its deployment rate, ensuring the ability to sustain retaliatory strikes even during prolonged conflict.
In a separate statement, Brigadier General Ali Reza Sheikh claimed that more than 75 percent of Iran's total missile and drone stocks remain intact. This assertion directly contradicts claims made by U.S. President Donald Trump, who suggested that Iran's military capabilities had been largely destroyed. Sheikh described the Iranian drone system as a 'nightmare for the enemy.'
Furthermore, reports indicate that Iran is working toward developing long-range ballistic missiles with a reach of up to 15,000 kilometers, which could potentially strike targets within the United States. This technological shift would represent a transition from medium-range systems to intercontinental capabilities.
