Iran unveiled a “missile city” on Monday belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, introducing the various armaments that have been added to the navy’s arsenal.

In a ceremony aired on Iran’s Channel 1, IRGC Commander-in-Chief Maj. Gen. Hossein Salami said the IRGC has drones, land-based anti-ship missiles, sea mines and various types of electronic warfare and intelligence capabilities, as well as weapons that cannot be revealed.

IRGC Navy Commander Gen. Alireza Tangsiri said that the IRGC no longer needs to transport its shore missiles to the beach since they can be launched from behind hills and also while the launchers are on the move. He added that the missiles can change targets after launch.

These systems and equipment will give the IRGC “strategic advantages” on the battlefield, said the report.

Forrest Kendall Pemberton allegedly scouted what he thought was an AIPAC office in South Florida and planned to return with concealed guns, prosecutors allege.
“The challenges facing American Jewry are also very profound,” Rabbi Menachem Genack told JNS. “The risk of rapid assimilation. The level of antisemitism that we’re seeing. The security challenges facing the State of Israel.”
“This is the same president who moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, delivered the Abraham Accords peace agreements, tore up Obama’s disastrous JCPOA, ended the war in Gaza and brought all of the hostages home,” the group stated.
“All U.S. military blockade enforcement efforts have ceased,” U.S. Central Command stated.
“Somerville is not supposed to be conducting U.S. foreign policy,” Richard Rosen of the Brandeis Center told JNS.
The policy group praised U.S. and Israeli military gains against Iran but warned that the agreement lacks enforcement mechanisms, raises concerns about Hezbollah and should be submitted to Congress before receiving U.N. endorsement.
