Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force Commander Majid Musavi said today that from now on, only heavy missiles with a warhead weight of one ton or more will be used. According to him, these missiles can destroy strong bunkers or entire blocks. Iran also plans to increase the range, intensity, and duration of attacks.

Comment: After the new Supreme Leader of Iran was elected, the Revolutionary Guards immediately announced the use of only heavy missiles weighing more than one ton, expanding the range and intensity of strikes. This is the most direct and strongest declaration of power and strategic deterrence. Domestically, it uses a tough posture to unite the military and public opinion, consolidating the authority of the new leadership; internationally, it clearly conveys to the US and Israel that it will not surrender and that retaliation will escalate. It draws a red line with heavy weapons, indicating that the transition of power is smooth and the resistance line will only become tougher.
