Iran missile program advancing without pause, IRGC adviser says

A senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) official said Iran’s missile technology continues to advance without interruption, despite Western support for Israel.

“The development of Iran’s missile technology is progressing without pause,” said Brigadier General Ali Balali, senior adviser to the commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, according to state media.

Balali also said that Western military support for Israel “failed to block the success of Iran’s missile operations,” in an apparent reference to Tehran’s missile attacks on Israeli territory last year.

Speaking to students in northeast Iran, Balali said the country remains committed to strengthening both its missile and space programs through domestic knowledge.
