Brigadier General Ali Bilali, Senior Advisor to the Aerospace Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has claimed that Iran is manufacturing its missiles entirely using its own technology and domestic resources, without any external assistance.
Citing Fars News Agency, Al Jazeera reported that General Bilali made a unique remark while illustrating Iran’s self-reliance. He stated that Iran’s current missile industry is so reliant on its own capabilities that it can be described as more authentic and indigenous than a traditional Persian carpet.
He further noted that their military and missile technology has now reached such a sophisticated level that production can be smoothly continued without any foreign support. Even all the chemicals and raw materials required for producing solid and liquid rocket fuel are collected 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 advancement, based on indigenous technology, continues. According to military analysts, this domestic capability will place Iran in an even stronger position in the overall geopolitics of the Middle East.
