Iran's Defense Ministry spokesperson Brigadier General Reza Talaei-Nik says the country’s “indigenous, advanced and knowledge-based” missile industry ranks among the top in the world.

Speaking to reporters on Monday, Talaei-Nik said the experience of Iran’s missile industry can serve as a model for neutralizing sanctions in other areas as well.

Iran has succeeded in achieving a high level of missile power despite more than 40 years of sanctions by neutralizing them, he added.

The general emphasized that the main features of the missile industry have created a “strategic offensive advantage for defense power of the Iranian nation."

Pointing to 12 days of the Israeli-US imposed war against Iran in June, Talaei-Nik said the country’s offensive missile power dealt a heavy blow to the enemies.

On June 13, Israel launched an unprovoked war against Iran, assassinating many high-ranking military commanders, nuclear scientists, and ordinary civilians.

More than a week later, the United States also entered the war by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites in a grave violation of the United Nations Charter, international law, and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

In response, the Iranian Armed Forces targeted strategic sites across the occupied territories as well as the al-Udeid air base in Qatar, the largest American military base in West Asia.

On June 24, Iran ultimately succeeded in halting the war through its retaliatory operations against the Israeli regime.

Defeat by Iran frustrates Israel

The deputy commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), Brigadier General Ali Fadavi, said the Israeli regime suffered a heavy defeat in its direct attack on Iran which led to the regime’s disappointment.

He added that US President Donald Trump entered the fray to compensate for this despair and restore the lost morale of the Israeli regime.

"Unlike the usual indirect attacks, this time the US directly attacked the Islamic Republic and revealed its objectives before the attack,” he noted.

However, he emphasized, Iran dealt a heavy blow to the enemy and inflicted a defeat on it.
