Tehran: Caretaker Defense Minister Brigadier General Majid Ebn al-Reza announced a significant increase in Iran's drone production capacity during the recent US-Israeli war of aggression. The country's defense capabilities saw a substantial boost as drone production tripled in response to the conflict.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, during a meeting with lawmakers on Saturday, Brigadier General Ebn al-Reza provided insights into the 12-day war, also referred to as the Ramadan war. He emphasized that despite the enemy's reliance on 150 leading technology companies and advanced equipment, the guidance of the Commander-in-Chief and public support played a crucial role in overcoming the aggression.

The Brigadier General highlighted the innovative performance of the Armed Forces during the Ramadan War, even in the face of losing commanders. He noted that defense production remained uninterrupted at the peak of the war, resulting in the tripling of Iran's drone production capacity.

Brigadier General Ebn al-Reza further described the US-Israeli aggression as a catalyst for the advancement of Iran's defense technologies. He stressed the importance of accurately identifying and exploiting the enemy's weak points to strengthen national defense.

Additionally, he interpreted the widespread public support and high turnout at the martyrs' funeral processions as signs of a new resistance front and the failure of efforts to isolate Iran.
