A second senior Iranian commander has issued a warning today. Hasan Hasanzadeh, commander of the Revolutionary Guards in Tehran, says Iran continued producing missiles and drones throughout the 40-day war.
According to Iran International, Hasanzadeh said on 11 November that Iran also developed new military technologies during the conflict. He said Iran now has 'surprises' that would be revealed on the battlefield.
He also warned that the damage to Israel in a renewed conflict could exceed that seen in previous wars, Iran International reports.
His remarks follow the message earlier today from Maj-Gen Ali Abdollahi, chief of staff of Iran's armed forces, who warned that any 'centre of threat' to the Islamic Republic would be a direct target.
Hasanzadeh's claims about wartime production and new technologies have not been independently checked. Iran International is so far the only outlet to report them.
