Iran’s Revolutionary Guards on Sunday said they were “fully prepared" for at least six months of high-intensity war and claimed that several of its newer missiles and drones are yet to be used in the war against the US and Israel. This defiant tone came as Israel launched a fresh wave of strikes on Iran.Follow Live Updates Of The US-Israel-Iran War

IRGC spokesperson Ali‑Mohammad Naeini claimed that the missiles used so far in the conflict are largely older models produced around 2012–2013. He added that Iran has not yet deployed missiles manufactured in the past decade, despite a significant increase in production in recent years.

“Weaponry, strategy, tactics and initiative and an aresenla of heavy missiles, ballistic and cruise, all kinds of UAVs and attack vessels have been prepared appropriate for a large-scale war, an all-out war and a prolonged war. The capable and powerful armed forces in the Islamic Republic are fully prepared for at least an intense six-month full-scale war with the same current pace," he was quoted as saying byAl Jazeera.

Israel Begins ‘Extensive’ Strikes

The remarks came as the Israeli Air Force also announced an “extensive" wave of airstrikes against Iranian regime infrastructure in Tehran and other areas of Iran. This is the second round of airstrikes on Iran.

Earlier today, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said they “dismantled" the space agency headquarters, affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. It said the site was “used by the IRGC to advance terrorist activities and monitor the State of Israel and its residents."

Israeli forces expanded their bombardment of Iran by striking fuel depots near Tehran, sending a blazing inferno down the storm drains along the streets of the capital. Thick, choking black smoke hung over Tehran on Sunday, residents said, after strikes on oil storage facilities had lit up the night sky with plumes of orange flame.

Over 1,230 people have died in Iran since the start of the war. In Lebanon, over 70 people have been killed, about a dozen in Israel have died, and six U.S. troops have also been killed. On Saturday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that his country will not surrender to the United States and Israel after the US President’s latest warning that there will be “no deal" with Tehran unless it agrees to an “unconditional surrender".
