IRGC to keep boosting missile, drone power: Top Iranian commander

A top commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says the elite force is making efforts to continually strengthen the Islamic Republic of Iran’s missile and drone power. 

Addressing an annual conference of high-profile IRGC military commanders and officials in the Iranian capital city of Tehran on Saturday, Brigadier General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh, the commander of the IRGC’s Aerospace Division, said the IRGC is constantly boosting its drone and missile power.

“There was a time when the enemy was in the offensive position, and we were concerned about defense. Today, we are in the offensive mode, and our enemies are looking to improve their defense systems,” Hajizadeh said.

He further said that superpowers with whom we could not interact even through interlocutors are now seeking to purchase advanced Iranian-developed defense gear.
