Iran’s Acting Defense Minister Says Much of Tehran’s Military Power Remains Unseen

Iran’s acting defense minister, Brig. Gen. Seyed Majid Ibn al-Reza, said Iran’s adversaries had seen only a small part of the country’s military capabilities in the current fighting. He said what remained unseen was much greater than what had been displayed or reported. Ibn al-Reza also described the battlefield as a place to test new systems. He did not identify any system, deployment, target, location, quantity or timetable, leaving the statement as a broad claim rather than an announcement of a specific operation.
