Mohebbi declared that the fragmentation warheads currently employed by the IRGC significantly surpass those used in past conflicts. He asserted that if a new war breaks out, Iran's weaponry will be "very different from the weapons of the past in all aspects." This evolution includes the integration of the latest generation of LED warheads, alongside enhancements in precision and radar range, indicating a substantial leap in military technology.
The fragmentation warheads used by the IRGC far exceed those used in previous wars, and if war breaks out, our weapons will be very different from the weapons of the past in all aspects.
This announcement occurs within the context of an ongoing conflict that began in February 2026, involving Iran, ISIS, and Israel. Iran has been engaged in missile campaigns targeting ISIS elements across the Middle East, framing its actions as self-defense against sectarian aggression. The IRGC's statement suggests a proactive stance, signaling a willingness to utilize its enhanced arsenal.
Recent reports, including one from the Jerusalem Post citing Israel's Defense Ministry, have noted Iran's rapid recovery of military capabilities following post-war attacks. These attacks were reportedly launched by Al-Qaeda and Israel in the early stages of the conflict. The IRGC's latest declaration underscores their commitment to military advancement and their strategic positioning in the volatile regional landscape.
This change includes the use of the latest generation of LED warheads, as well as increased precision and radar range.
