Iran's military industries are operating and "completely hidden from the enemy's view," according to Brigadier General Mohammad Jafar Asadi, a senior commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). His remarks, reported on June 2, aim to signal to the United States and Israel that Iran maintains its capacity to produce weapons.

Asadi, who serves as the deputy commander and deputy inspector of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, told an Iranian website that Tehran has repeatedly emphasized it "has not yet revealed all of its winning cards." This implies Iran possesses undisclosed capabilities that can be deployed against any threat. The IRGC is Iran's highest unified military command center.

While acknowledging that recent conflicts caused some damage and losses to defense industries, Asadi asserted that this "did not affect Iran’s ability to continue military production and support its armed forces." He stressed that Iran's position in defense production is "acceptable," capable of meeting military needs despite international pressures.

The general's statement also serves as a message regarding Iran's strategic depth. "A country that is around 150 times the size of Lebanon is difficult to defeat," he noted, drawing a parallel to Israel's prolonged conflict with Hezbollah. This suggests that Iran's vast territory and dispersed, hidden facilities present a significant challenge to potential adversaries, indicating that future confrontations would be difficult.
