Iran says it holds large stockpile of new defense and attack equipment

Iranian army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia announced that Iran possesses "a large stockpile of new defense and offensive equipment," including missiles and drones.

Akraminia said: "We have gained valuable experience and have been able to identify the enemy’s weaknesses, their locations, and how to exploit them," according to the IRGC-affiliated Fars News Agency.

He added that, regarding recent conflicts, "we used new equipment that will be revealed to the media at the appropriate time and as needed," noting that "this equipment was produced daily during the war, and its production continues intensively to this day."

Separately, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian revealed that Iran has faced three attacks following talks with the United States, saying that repeated targeting of the country after negotiation rounds reflects Washington’s lack of interest in dialogue. He stated that negotiations with the US "make no sense" amid what he described as threats, sanctions, and pressure.

Pezeshkian explained yesterday, during his meeting with Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Ararat Mirzoyan in Tehran, that the problem with the United States is not limited to political differences, but is also linked to Iran coming under attack after each round of bilateral talks. He added that his country does not accept the approach of threats and pressure pursued by Washington.

The Iranian president noted that the United States "is not seeking dialogue," but rather aims to bring down the Islamic Republic of Iran, reiterating Tehran’s refusal to negotiate with what he described as "an enemy that intimidates, imposes sanctions, applies pressure, threatens daily, and violates treaties." He stressed that the Iranian people do not accept this approach.
