Iranian lawmaker warns against overstating missile success in war with Israel

Jun 27, 2025, 08:32 GMT+1

Iran relied heavily on its missile capabilities during the recent conflict with Israel but faced shortcomings in other areas of defense, a member of parliament’s national security commission said on Friday.

“Our military strength was based on missile power, but there were weaknesses in other defense sectors,” Mohammad-Mehdi Shahriari said.

He cautioned against exaggerating Iran’s missile achievements. “We should not overstate the missile success and ignore the deficiencies,” he said.
