Brigadier General Ali Bilali, a senior advisor to the Aerospace Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has claimed that Iran is manufacturing its missiles using entirely indigenous technology and domestic resources, without any assistance from external countries.
According to Al Jazeera, citing Fars News Agency, General Bilali made a unique comment while illustrating Iran’s self-reliance. He stated that Iran’s current missile industry is so rooted in its own capabilities that it can be described as even more pure and domestic than a traditional Persian carpet.
He further noted that their military and missile technology has now reached a mature stage where production activities can be comfortably maintained without any foreign support. Even all the chemicals and raw materials required for manufacturing solid and liquid rocket fuels are sourced and prepared from Iran’s own minerals and petroleum. Consequently, Iran does not need to rely on Washington or any other foreign power for these crucial components.
Despite successive stringent sanctions from the Western world and the international community, Iran’s military advancements, driven by indigenous technology, continue. According to military analysts, this internal capability will place Iran in an even stronger position in the overall geopolitics of the Middle East.
