A senior Iranian commander says
that there is no “iron dome” in the world which we cannot pierce.
“There is no iron dome in the
world that we cannot pierce. What is said about this dome (Israel’s Iron Dome)
is mostly psychological warfare and propaganda,” Deputy Chairman of Iranian
Armed Forces' Chiefs of Staff Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri said on
Thursday.
He added that Iran’s
intelligence on the enemy is increasing day by day and added the Islamic Republic
is in possession of significant military intelligence.
Jazayeri also downplayed
Israeli threats to launch an attack against Iran as psychological warfare and
said Tel Aviv lacks the military capability to attack the Islamic Republic.
He said that Israel is
susceptible to serious vulnerabilities and added any miscalculated move by Tel
Aviv against Iran could lead to the annihilation of that regime.
The Iron Dome has been
developed by Israel in an attempt to intercept and counter short-range missiles
and artillery shells and has been established with the financial support of the
United States.
Hezbollah has recently sent a
radar-evading drone deep into the Israeli airspace.
The operations code-named
Hussein Ayub saw Hezbollah’s drone fly hundreds of kilometers into the Israeli
airspace and get very close to Dimona nuclear plant without being detected by
advanced Israeli and US radars, Hezbollah Secretary General Nasrallah said
during a televised speech on October 11.
On October 14, Iran’s Defense
Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi confirmed that the radar-evading drone
had been developed by Iran.
