A Clear Message to the Enemies of Iran
Western and Zionist media have repeatedly expressed concern in recent days over Iran’s advanced missile capabilities. In particular, the prowess in the domain of hypersonic missiles and intercontinental systems, with significantly extended ranges—which Western powers have recently emphasized to pressure the Islamic Republic of Iran—has now become a serious nightmare for them.
Seyed Jalal Amini – Defense and Security Affairs Analyst:
Over the past two days, the release of images showing a column of smoke and the observation of luminous objects in the sky over some areas of Iran have drawn attention from both domestic and foreign circles.
Citizens in the provinces of Golestan, Semnan, West Khorasan Razavi, the northern part of Isfahan province, and parts of South Khorasan have seen and reported such an event. As speculation intensified, some security officials announced that there is no cause for concern regarding this matter, as it relates to the testing of domestic systems, and further information will be announced later if needed.
Following this, Russian media announced that Iran has tested a new ballistic missile. Apparently, the said missile contains a flare pack, which causes the enemy’s air defense to be diverted. This missile deflects air defense by launching thermal flares.
Hebrew sources, stating that Israel is following Iran’s ballistic test with concern, emphasized: “This is likely a test of new launchers and preparation for another confrontation.” However, some Western media interpreted this move as a response by the Iranian armed forces to the threats made by Mark Rubio, the US Secretary of State, and his emphasis on the necessity of destroying the missile capability of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In summarizing the above, it seems this deliberate event should be evaluated as a demonstration of Iran’s power to the enemy and an emphasis on readiness to confront various scenarios, especially in a situation where confrontation is peaking with the possible activation of the snapback mechanism by Europe.
The reality is, as officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran have also stated, the country’s full capacity was not revealed during the 12-day war, and Tehran has many capabilities, especially in the missile field, in its arsenal that it will resort to when needed. Iran only in the last two days of the recent war made limited use of some of its new “Kheibar-shekan” type missiles with cluster warheads, and even this small number inflicted serious damage on the enemy and forced them into a ceasefire.
This recent event certainly signifies more than just a military maneuver or technical test; it indicates Iran’s resolve to change the equations of deterrence if another war is imposed. The Islamic Republic of Iran has not only solidified its reconstruction but has also expanded the scope of its deterrence. From now on, the enemy of such a country cannot be sure that our response will follow the same old pattern.
The responses could be surprising, heavy, and on a completely new scale. This very fact has led Western circles to conclude in their analyses that any direct confrontation with Iran could entail very heavy costs for them. Iran’s strategic signal will certainly make the enemy think twice about starting any adventure.
This reality has caused obvious concern among Iran’s enemies. Western and Zionist media have repeatedly expressed concern in recent days about this country’s new missile capabilities. Particularly, the capability in the field of hypersonic missiles and intercontinental systems with a many times greater range, which the West has recently been maneuvering on to pressure the Islamic Republic of Iran, has now become a serious nightmare for the enemy. This is proof that the policy of maximum pressure has failed and Iran is in a position to turn threat into opportunity. Under such circumstances, any miscalculation by the enemy of the Islamic Republic of Iran will be equivalent to playing with fire.
