The spokesperson for the Iranian Armed Forces, Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, announced that his country has taken away the enemy's "first strike" right with missiles, drones, and defense capabilities, pointing to the 12-day war between Iran and Israel. The Fars News Agency reported on Tuesday that the armed forces have accelerated the process of increasing this missile power. The assistant and spokesperson of the General Staff of the Armed Forces for cultural and soft war affairs, Abolfazl Shekarchi, said during a visit to the space exhibition organized by the Revolutionary Guards with some of the country's cultural authorities that all the equipment on display is completely domestic production, the result of the efforts of scientists, the Air Force, and the Ministry of Defense. He further stated that the Iranian forces have identified and eliminated their weaknesses, increasing their capabilities, and are now more prepared for any possible future confrontation with Israel. Meanwhile, the "Yediot Ahronot" newspaper reported that an Israeli military representative told the Knesset's Foreign and Security Committee in a secret briefing that Iran is preparing ballistic missiles at an accelerated pace, about six months after the 12-day war between the two sides. During the 12-day war in June this year, Israel targeted missile storage and production sites within Iran, as well as nuclear facilities. At the same time, Israel also killed dozens of high-ranking military commanders and nuclear scientists. Since then, Israel has threatened to prevent Tehran from re-obtaining its military and nuclear capabilities and warned of any danger that threatens Israel's security. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had previously said that the confrontation with Tehran is not over. Meanwhile, some Western diplomats and analysts have expressed the possibility of a renewed confrontation between the two countries.
