Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi, advisor to the Iranian leader for military affairs, affirmed on Monday that the Iranian military is fully prepared to counter any plans by its adversaries, warning that "Israel" has not yet seen the full scope of Iran’s military capabilities.

"Our armed forces are ready to confront all enemy plots," Safavi declared, adding that Iran has manufactured thousands of missiles and drones, which are stored in secure, strategically protected locations. He emphasized that these stockpiles are primed for deployment should the need arise.

Safavi pointed out that Iran has so far not activated its entire military apparatus in regional confrontations, stating: "The Zionists are well aware that we have yet to fully engage all our forces, such as the Naval Forces and the Quds Force, on the battlefield."

'Israel' following flawed strategy, warns Safavi

The senior commander criticized "Israel’s" military strategy, asserting that it has failed in its confrontations with both the Palestinian resistance and the Islamic Republic of Iran, warning that history does not favor occupying powers: "No occupier in history has been able to hold onto occupied land forever."

Safavi also defended Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, insisting they are peaceful and grounded in domestic capabilities. "Iran’s peaceful nuclear capacities and advanced missile industry are built on local scientific knowledge and cannot be dismantled," he said.

In a related context, Major General Rasoul Sanaei-Rad, Political Advisor to the Office of Ideological and Political Guidance of the Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Armed Forces, told Al Mayadeen on Sunday that Iran was fully prepared for "Israel’s" recent attacks, including the targeting of scientific centers.

He stated that "Israel targeted scientific sites in Iran, but we had already taken precautionary measures and secured our scientific documents," noting that Iran anticipated aggression from the “malicious entity” and had implemented the necessary defensive steps to this end.

"We possess a substantial reserve force, particularly in missile capabilities, prepared for a prolonged confrontation,” he stated, adding that the damage inflicted by the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) demonstrated their strategic depth and formidable striking power.

These remarks come amid heightened regional tensions and growing speculation over potential escalations involving Iran, the Israeli occupation, and the resistance axis. Iranian officials have repeatedly affirmed their readiness to respond to any military threat while maintaining that their strategic posture remains defensive in nature.
