Iran’s armed forces remain fully equipped and combat-ready against the enemy, with weapons production not only continuing but sharply increasing despite recent aggression, the Defense Ministry spokesman has said, state media reports.

Brigadier General Reza Talaei-Nik, speaking in a special interview on Thursday, declared that “the hands of the armed forces are full” in terms of equipment, weapons, and a continuous, resilient supply chain, stressing that there is no shortage facing the enemy.

He said production in the seven months following the imposed 40-day war of aggression rose 2.5 times compared with the equivalent period before the conflict.
