Iran claims ammunition supply speed "exceeds pre-war"
Reference News Network reported on April 22 According to a report by Reuters on April 19, Majid Mousavi, commander of the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran, stated on the 19th that Iran is now updating and replenishing its missile and drone launch systems at a rate higher than before the outbreak of hostilities.
On February 28, Israel and the United States launched attacks against Iran, one of the objectives being to destroy Iran's missile strike capabilities.
Mousavi's statement was released alongside a edited video. The video shows him inspecting an undisclosed underground missile facility. The footage also includes drones, missiles, and launch systems inside the underground facility, as well as shots of missiles being launched from the ground.
According to a report by RIA Novosti on April 19, Majid Mousavi stated on the 19th that during the ceasefire, the supply and deployment pace of Iran's missile systems and drones has accelerated compared to the period before the escalation of conflict.
According to Iranian state media, Mousavi said: “During the ceasefire, the delivery and loading speed of missile and drone launch platforms has even exceeded pre-war levels. We have noticed that the enemy is unable to create similar conditions for itself and can only be forced to sporadically transport ammunition from other parts of the world.”
On February 28, the United States and Israel began striking targets within Iran, resulting in over 3,000 deaths to date. On April 7, Washington and Tehran announced a two-week ceasefire. Subsequent negotiations held in Islamabad ended without results. Although both sides have not announced a resumption of hostilities, the United States has begun to implement a blockade on Iranian ports. (Translated by Hu Xue)
