IRGC: US-Israel strikes did not decimate missile production, drones or air defenses — 'you know nothing'
Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps issued a formal statement on Thursday asserting that American and Israeli strikes had not decimated the country's missile production centers, long-range drones, air defenses, or electronic warfare systems. 'The United States and Israel know nothing about our vast and strategic capabilities,' the IRGC said. The statement directly contradicts Trump's Wednesday night claim that Iran's 'ability to launch missiles and drones is dramatically curtailed.' US and Israeli officials acknowledge many ballistic missiles and launchers remain intact and that Iran continues to launch missiles and drones.
