The chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says Israel is
within the range of most of the Islamic Republic’s missiles.

“Any one bearing greater enmity towards Islamic Iran will naturally be more
fearful of such capabilities and preparednesses,” Major General Mohammad Ali
Jafari said on Tuesday during the final stage of large-scale missile drills,
code-named Eqtedar-e-Velayat.

The IRGC Aerospace Division on Tuesday held the final stage of the exercises
by firing ballistic missiles from silo-based launchers in different
locations across the country.

The maneuvers are aimed at displaying Iran’s “deterrence power” and the
country’s “full readiness to confront all kinds of threats against the
[Islamic] Revolution, establishment and [Iran's] territorial integrity,” the
IRGC division said.

Jafari further said that defense power and national security are Iran’s red
lines which are by no means negotiable.

He added that the firing of ballistic missiles was a crushing response to
the enemies of the Islamic Republic who have imposed sanctions on Iran’s
missile program.

The commander added that sanctions have helped the country boost its missile
power, achieve self-reliance and manufacture all its missiles.

He emphasized that sanctions and enemies’ security pressure have failed to
impact Iran’s missile power, saying the Armed Forces and IRGC have grown
into a unique power in the region.

Jafari said the missile drills were staged to convey a message of security
to the Iranian nation and the neighboring countries.

“Iran’s security is the security of regional countries and our efforts are
in line with establishing security in the region,” he added.

Last October, Iran successfully test-fired its precision-guided long-range
Emad missile.
