On June 15, the commander of Iran's Army Air Defense Force, Brigadier General Alireza Sabahifard, announced that the country is fully prepared to counter any potential threats. Speaking at a military conference, he emphasized that the air defense force has been bolstered and remains on high alert to protect Iran's skies.
According to General Sabahifard, Iran's air defense systems, including radar and interceptor missiles, have been upgraded and are operating effectively, ensuring the capability to detect and destroy any intruding targets. He also asserted that Iran's recent military moves are purely defensive, aimed at deterring risks and maintaining regional stability.
The statement comes amid escalating tensions between Iran and the West, particularly concerning its nuclear program and Israeli military activities. Previously, Tehran has repeatedly warned of a strong response to any external provocations.
Analysts suggest that Iran's emphasis on its air defense capabilities is a message of deterrence and preparation for potential conflict scenarios. However, experts also view this as a defensive move rather than an active military escalation.
