Press TV \u2013 Oct 20, 2025<\/strong><\/h1>\n

A senior Iranian commander has stated that the country\u2019s missile and defense infrastructure remained fully intact after the 12-day war, saying \u201cnot even a scratch the size of a fly\u2019s feather\u201d was made on Iran\u2019s missiles.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview, Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, deputy coordinator of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)\u00a0during the 12-Day War, detailed the military course and the aftermath of the US-Israeli aggression, stressing that Iran\u2019s missile force emerged unscathed.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot even a scratch, not a thin line the size of a fly\u2019s feather, has been made on the body of our missiles,\u201d he said, adding that none of the country\u2019s \u201cmissile cities\u201d were damaged and launch operations resumed quickly after attacks.<\/p>\n

On June 13, Israel launched an unprovoked aggression against Iran, triggering a 12-day war that killed at least 1,064 people in the country, including military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians.<\/p>\n

The United States also entered the war by bombing\u00a0three Iranian nuclear sites in a grave\u00a0violation of international law.<\/p>\n

On June 24, Iran, through its successful retaliatory operations against both the Israeli regime and the US, managed to impose a halt to the terrorist assault.<\/p>\n

According to Naqdi, despite enemy forces bringing their full capabilities to the battlefield in Gaza\u2014including advanced equipment and new weapons\u2014the Israeli military\u00a0failed to destroy Hamas\u2019s tunnels, the very ones its tanks drive over for two years.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s tunnels, he implied, remain even more secure after just a 12-day war.<\/p>\n

Israel failed to destroy even 3% of the launchers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

General Naqdi rejected enemy claims of destroying half of Iran’s missile launchers, stating they failed to eliminate even three percent of them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 50 percent they claimed was not only wrong, but they were unable to destroy even 3 percent of the launchers,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that the technology is fully indigenous, simple enough to be produced in a blacksmith shop, and that Iran now possesses more launchers than before the conflict, with the capacity to easily produce tens of thousands more.<\/p>\n

\u2018We are in conflict with NATO\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Naqdi further stated that during the recent Israeli assault, it became clear that Iran was not merely confronting Israel, but a much broader coalition.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are in conflict with NATO; there is America, England, France, Jordan, and the Zionist regime,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

The commander pointed to US bases in neighboring countries, radars, listening devices, foreign embassies in Tehran, and satellites as all feeding real-time information to Israel.<\/p>\n

He also mentioned that dozens of foreign drones patrol the Persian Gulf daily, monitoring deep inside Iranian territory.<\/p>\n

Iranian-made weapons performed better in war<\/strong><\/h2>\n

General Naqdi underscored that \u201cduring recent operations, the IRGC alone managed to shoot down 43 advanced drones belonging to the Zionist regime,\u201d adding that overall, Iranian defenses successfully eliminated more than 140 hostile drones.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that this defensive success was rooted entirely in localized capabilities, stating that while systems like the S-300 were said to be ineffective, \u201cindigenous systems performed better.\u201d<\/p>\n

He highlighted that domestic systems are not only more effective but also modifiable, upgradeable, and are being updated daily\u2014an important advantage unique to indigenous technology.<\/p>\n

He added that the enemy suffered a severe blow, proving that by relying on domestic power, the nation can withstand the most advanced adversaries.<\/p>\n

He also noted that\u00a0Iran did not request a ceasefire to end the 12-day war, emphasizing that field commanders reported no operational problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had no problem; the pressure was bearable. The forces were standing firm,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
