Iran Seizes Ceasefire Opportunity to Boost Military Power, Says General Mousavi

Tehran: Amid the fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran, General Mousavi, the aerospace commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, has made a claim that has given sleepless nights to the West. According to Mousavi, Iran has strategically used this two-week period of calm to increase its stockpile of missiles and suicide drones to an unprecedented extent. In an interview with Iranian Press TV, he roared that Iran is now in a more powerful and prepared position than before the war began. This statement makes it clear that Iran has seized the ceasefire not only as a peace process, but as an opportunity to restore military power. General Mousavi directly hit out at the US and Israel, saying that while Iran is filling up its weapons depots with homegrown technology, enemy countries are facing ammunition shortages as they are dependent on foreign supplies. Iran's claim that the ongoing tensions over the Strait of Hormuz suggest a longer defense gap, especially if Iran goes through the conflict again.
