Iran Tripled Drone Production Output during US–Israeli Aggression: Caretaker Defense Minister

Caretaker Defense Minister Brigadier General Majid Ebn al-Reza says Iran’s drone production capacity tripled during the recent US–Israeli war of aggression.

During a meeting with lawmakers on Saturday, Brigadier General Ebn al-Reza discussed the 12-day war and the Ramadan war, saying that the enemy entered the battlefield with the support of 150 leading technology companies and the most advanced equipment, but failed due to the guidance of the Commander-in-Chief and the support of the people.

He described the Armed Forces’ performance during the Ramadan War as highly innovative, despite the loss of commanders. He noted that at the peak of the war, defense production continued without interruption, and Iran’s capacity for drone production increased threefold.

Brigadier General Ebn al-Reza described the recent US–Israeli war of aggression against Iran as a catalyst for advancing the country’s defense technologies, highlighting the importance of accurately identifying the enemy’s weak points.

He also interpreted the public support and high turnout at the martyrs’ funeral processions as indicators of the emergence of a new resistance front and the failure of efforts to isolate Iran.
