Reference News Network, March 16 report: According to the Iranian Press TV website, on March 16, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated that so far, most of the missiles launched against U.S. and Israeli targets in the "True Promise 4" operation are about ten years old. As the war imposed on Iran enters its third week, more advanced weapons are reserved as a backup.
The report said that Ali Mohammad Naeini, a spokesperson for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, told the Iranian Islamic Republic News Agency in an interview that since the war began on February 28, approximately 700 missiles and 3,600 drones have been launched at U.S. and Zionist targets.
Naeini emphasized, "The missiles currently used are from ten years ago. Many missiles produced from the 12-day war to this Ramadan war have not yet been deployed (used)."
The spokesman pointed out that since the last war, Iran's offensive capabilities have significantly improved, and the full extent of Iran's military modernization has not yet been seen by its opponents.
In a warning to Washington, Naeini said that the U.S. Navy lacks the courage to approach the Persian Gulf, and the Strait of Hormuz remains under Iran's absolute control. (Translated by Wang Qun)
