According to the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), Qalibaf made the remarks in a message following the unveiling of the new strategic missile facility.
Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf said the achievement was the result of years of efforts by Iranian scientists and engineers, the planning of military commanders and the round-the-clock dedication of military personnel who continued their work under the most difficult circumstances.
Qalibaf expressed appreciation to those involved, particularly young specialists whose indigenous knowledge and commitment contributed to the project. He also paid tribute to fallen IRGC Aerospace Force commanders, including Hassan Tehrani-Moqaddam, Amir-Ali Hajizadeh and Mahmoud Baqeri.
He praised Brigadier General Seyyed Majid Mousavi for assuming major responsibilities during difficult times and for his role in advancing the country's defensive capabilities.
The parliament speaker stressed that the achievement had been realized despite sanctions, pressure, military and security threats, and even under the conditions of war, demonstrating Iran’s ability to advance complex technologies by relying on domestic expertise.
Qalibaf described the missile city as part of Iran’s efforts to establish sustainable deterrence through defensive readiness, continuous progress and national unity.
Addressing those threatening Iran with military action, he said the message of the achievement was clear: they should avoid miscalculation, warning that if Iran were attacked, its armed forces would respond swiftly and in ways beyond the adversary’s expectations.
He added that the geographical scope of any future conflict would be determined by the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Qalibaf also said the unveiling, held ahead of the anniversary of the martyrdom of Hassan Tehrani-Moqaddam and Iran’s Aerospace Day, had renewed public confidence and demonstrated that Iranian specialists continued to strengthen the country’s defensive capabilities despite pressure, threats and war.
