Speaking in a Tuesday ceremony in Tehran, IRGC Aerospace Commander Brigadier
General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh quoted his Chief-Commander Major General Mohammad-Ali
Jafari as saying, "The Leader of Islamic Revolution was worried about possible
damages to the people of Syria’s Deir ez-Zor” when the IRGC was about to launch
a retaliatory attack on ISIS positions.
However, Hajizadeh said, we gave him assurance that we would just hit the
positions of ISIS terrorists, and we did it.
"The operation was carried out accurately, and based on the footage captured by
our drones flying over the targets in Deir ez-Zor, we in Kermanshah
simultaneously saw the missiles hitting the positions,” he noted, adding that
the Iranian drones later landed safe and sound hundreds of kilometers away from
Deir ez-Zor.
According to Hajizadeh, the Leader had repeatedly emphasized the accuracy of
missiles is the top priority for him.
The IRGC worked hard to maximize the accuracy of its missiles, and now the
country is the top missile power in the region, seventh or eighth in the world,
and is even ahead of North Korea in this field, he added.
"In drone industry, we’re one of the world’s top 15 powers, even ahead of Russia
and China. We also have good capabilities in air defense, and enjoy certain
equipment that is more advanced than that of Russia, France, China, and the UK,”
he noted.
