Reference News, August 20 report: According to AFP, on August 20, Iran stated that it is prepared for any new attack by Israel and announced that it has developed missiles with better performance than those used in the "12-day war" a short time ago.
The Iranian Islamic Republic News Agency quoted Iran's Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh as saying, "The missiles used in the 12-day war were made several years ago."
He said, "Today, we have manufactured and possess missiles that are stronger than before. If the Zionist enemy dares to provoke again, we will certainly use these missiles."
It was reported that in mid-June, Israel launched an bombing campaign against Iran, triggering a war, and Iran responded with missile and drone attacks.
On the 18th, Iran's First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref said that Iran should be "always ready to confront."
He also said, "We are not even in a ceasefire state; we are only temporarily stopping hostilities."
Iranian media reported that the Iranian military will begin a two-day military exercise on the 21st, involving various short-range and medium-range cruise missiles. (Translated by Lu Di)
