Iran has yet to reveal all of its “winning cards” and is ready for a potential confrontation with its enemies, state broadcaster Press TV reports quoting a high-ranking military official.

Brigadier General Mohammad Jafar Asadi, from the country’s Khatam al-Anbiya central headquarters, has responded to recent claims by Western media circles and American officials regarding the vulnerability of Iran’s defence capabilities.

“We have said many times that we have not yet revealed all our winning cards, and there are many cards we will use if needed,” he says.

Explaining the status of the country’s defence industry, General Asadi explains, “The facilities we now use to manufacture military equipment and support the Armed Forces are completely hidden from the enemy’s view.

“They have no knowledge of their locations. Therefore, our situation in defence production is acceptable,” Asadi says.
