Their second aggression began on February 28\u00a0and came to a halt in early April after 40 days.<\/p>\n<p>In both wars, Iran\u2019s resistance and successful retaliatory operations forced the aggressors to accept a ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p>Iran has also maintained a tight grip on the Strait of Hormuz since the early days of the second imposed war in response to Washington\u2019s acts of mischief in West Asia.<\/p>\n<p>Belali hailed the Islamic Republic for performing significantly better than in previous conflicts in terms of sustaining operations, delivering strikes, and maintaining the offensive tempo.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, he said that Iran\u2019s missile bases are distributed across the country, extending from the northeast to the northwest and southeast, adding that the facilities provide sufficient range to reach targets in the Israeli-occupied territories and American military installations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese facilities are designed to withstand destruction by conventional weapons, as they are located deep underground and engineered to support sustained deployment and continuous operations,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The IRGC advisor also cited Khorramshahr missile, which releases 80 submunitions, and the Fattah-2 missile with maneuvering capabilities, as examples of Iranian projectiles difficult for enemy air defense systems to intercept.<\/p>\n<p>With a range of 500 kilometers, he continued, the Persian Gulf missile was designed to engage moving targets aimed at driving US naval vessels out of the Persian Gulf region.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, he said that Washington and Tel Aviv have spent enormous sums on advanced air defense systems, which are insufficient to withstand Iranian weapons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the opposing side has significant capabilities, the sheer volume of weapons we deploy, combined with the tactics we employ, substantially reduces the effectiveness of its systems,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Belali said that the adversaries have resorted to concealment and censorship regarding the destruction caused by Iranian missiles<\/p>\n<p>He further warned that no location within the 2,000-kilometer range of Iranian weapons can be considered secure for American troops, adding, \u201cThe United States should withdraw its forces from within this range, leave West Asia, and avoid exposing itself to risks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, he praised efforts undertaken by Iranian Armed Forces for bringing the production capacity of missiles and drones to a level which needs additional facilities to store.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.presstv.co.uk\/Detail\/2026\/11\/06\/780068\/any-country-aiding-us-in-new-war-on-iran-will-become-legitimate-target-irgc-aide\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An advisor to the IRGC Aerospace Force warns that any country or force abetting the United States in a new act of aggression against Iran will be considered a \u201clegitimate target\u201d for the country\u2019s reprisal attacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":332788,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[77],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-332786","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature-posts"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332786","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=332786"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332786\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":332790,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332786\/revisions\/332790"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/332788"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=332786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=332786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=332786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
