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.

The Jewish Community Relations Council Bay Area and Jewish Silicon Valley said that the state’s agreement with the protesters suggests “that politically motivated destruction of property carries minimal legal consequences.”
“Neria needs a miracle,” Yechiel Leiter wrote of his son, who was seriously injured on Wednesday.
Shukrun’s eldest son, Yoav, who was with him during the fatal attack, recounted how his father saved his life, urging him to run.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said that the warning comes on the back of “various intelligence reports.”
