General Abdulahi: Weapons production continues even under heavy bombardment.
The Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, Major General Ali Abdulahi, says that Iran's missile and UAV industries have reached a level of robustness that allows uninterrupted production of weapons even under enemy fire and heavy bombs, when production lines operate deep underground.
In a statement commemorating the 15th anniversary of the death of Major General Hassan Tehrani-Moghdam, "the father of Iran's missile program," Abdulahi credited him with laying the foundations for Iran's current defense force.
He said that Western air defense systems have proven ineffective against Iranian missiles and UAVs in the past year and a half, and that Iran has gone from being an arms buyer to a leading producer and exporter of strategic equipment. Warning the US and Israel, he said previous "slaps" were just the beginning, and any new miscalculation would bring far more deadly blows, which he described as a credible threat within Iran's actual capabilities.
