❗️IRGC declares complete defense independence and readiness for shift in Iranian nuclear doctrine Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesperson Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi announced today that the armed forces have achieved total self-reliance across defense sectors by eliminating foreign advisers and deploying locally developed military technologies. Speaking to Tasnim, Mohebbi stated that advanced Iranian aerospace platforms stem entirely from domestic research rather than foreign procurement or reverse engineering. He emphasized that units maintain full operational command under heavy enemy bombardment, executing precision strikes against strategic hostile infrastructure. Mohebbi added that Iranian air defense networks downed at least 260 hostile aircraft during the military confrontation, including advanced F-35, F-16, F-8, and F-5 fighter jets alongside various drones. Addressing ongoing strategic developments in comments carried by Fars News Agency, the IRGC spokesperson warned that any miscalculation by Washington or Tel Aviv would trigger retaliatory strikes with long-term consequences. Mohebbi highlighted that Iranian forces continue to extend the range of their missile arsenals and stand fully prepared to execute changes to the state's nuclear doctrine if senior Iranian leadership decides to alter its official defense posture. The statement follows remarks by Iran’s Strategic Foreign Relations Council member Mohsen Rezaei confirming that top security officials are evaluating potential modifications to the country's nuclear policy.
