Iran has achieved significant advancements in its military capabilities, particularly in aerospace and missile technology, and is prepared to respond forcefully and without geographical limitations to any threat, according to Hossein Mohabbi, spokesperson for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Mohabbi stated that the IRGC's aerospace force has undergone a "historic transformation," shifting Iran from a weapons importer to an exporter, and claimed Iranian aerospace technology surpasses that of its adversaries. He asserted that Iran's "Shahed 136" drone is being copied and used under different names in numerous countries, including the United States. The aerospace force exports military products like the "Arman" missile, "358" drone, and the "Suma Khordad" air defense system to many nations.

Mohabbi also highlighted Iran's recent success in downing seven intact MQM-170 reconnaissance drones within the past one to two weeks, interpreting this as proof of Iranian technological superiority. He further claimed that the IRGC's aerospace force targeted 260 enemy aircraft following a recent 12-day conflict, attributing Iran's resilience against advanced enemy military equipment to its prioritization of missile capability development. Mohabbi previously stated that Iranian missiles have exposed the ineffectiveness of American "Patriot" and "THAAD" air defense systems, adding that the IRGC air force has established a sustainable deterrence mechanism against attacks on Iranian infrastructure.

In a significant warning, Mohabbi vowed that Iran would respond powerfully to any threat targeting its people, employing "unprecedented" operations if it perceives its enemies are seeking to threaten the nation. He indicated that Tehran would unveil "astonishing" achievements in aviation and space if a third wave of conflict erupts, emphasizing that Iran's missile power will defend the country "without geographical restrictions." These statements come amid ongoing tensions between Iran, the United States, and Israel, following a recent 12-day military confrontation and subsequent exchange of threats regarding the potential for renewed hostilities.
