    Presidential candidate for June 18 elections, Mohsen Rezaei, speaks with state-run TV journalists upon arrival to attend the final debate of the candidates, at a state-run TV studio in Tehran, Iran, Saturday, June 12, 2021 (Ayoub Ghaderi/ Young Journalists Club, YJC via AP)

Iran has launched 400 missiles and 600 drones toward the Israeli entity as part of Operation True Promise 3, revealed Mohsen Rezaei, a member of Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council.

The strikes have resulted in 50 fatalities and over 2,000 injuries, according to Rezaei.

Less than 30% of Iran's capabilities used

The Iranian official highlighted that the attack demonstrated only a limited portion of Iran's military strength.

He noted that Iran has deployed less than 30% of its actual capabilities and under 5% of its latent capacity.

“No one imagined that Iranian missiles would penetrate four layers of reinforced concrete in Israeli military command centers — but they did,” he indicated.

Israeli miscalculation

According to Rezaei, Israeli officials made a grave error in judgment by launching attacks against Iran.

He explained that the occupation had assumed the martyrdom of senior commanders in the Iranian armed forces would disrupt operations, "but we saw the opposite — under the leadership of the Leader of the Revolution [Sayyed Ali Khamenei], actions continued with strength, and we proceeded with determination and resolve."

“They [the Israelis] are now deeply entangled in a severe crisis,” he noted, adding, “We have severely punished them in recent days — and this response is not over yet."

The Iranian official emphasized that his country's retaliation must be sufficiently "deterrent to guarantee Iran’s security.”

Upcoming revelations in Iran's missile arsenal

Rezaei also revealed that Iran will soon unveil new missile capabilities. He stated that his country has not yet employed its naval and ground forces, nor has it used strategic leverage points such as the Strait of Hormuz and its oil resources.

This comes as Iran is conducting its response to the ongoing Israeli aggression under the operation titled True Promise 3.

The offensive targets Israeli military and strategic installations across the occupied Palestinian territories using ballistic missiles and drones.
