At this ceremony, the Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC said in his speech: The complex that we visited today with the Commander of the IRGC Navy is one of the many complexes that maintain the systems of the IRGC Navy’s offensive, missile, and mine-laying vessels.

Major General Salami added: Although this complex that the dear Iranian nation is seeing today is a magnificent complex, it is a small fraction of it compared to the totality of the IRGC Navy’s defensive power.

Referring to the increasing readiness of the combat capability and defense capability of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, he added: The combat capability of these vessels and the missile systems deployed on them is in addition to the numerous combat vessels that are currently patrolling the Persian Gulf to defend the sovereignty and water borders of our Islamic homeland, and in addition to the vessels, missile launchers, and other capabilities that are deployed on the islands and coasts of the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz and are ready to carry out missions.

General Salami noted: By God's grace, significant progress has been made in the IRGC Navy over the past few years, both in the quantity and quality of this force's offensive systems.

He continued his speech by stating: The speed of combat vessels, along with the increase in their range and depth of navigation, their ability to cross waves, high altitudes and turbulent seas, and the ability to sail far in the oceans for the foremost defense of the vital interests of the Islamic Republic of Iran, are the product of the extensive efforts of engineers and operational users of these systems both in the Ministry of Defense and Support of the Armed Forces, in the IRGC Research and Self-Sufficiency Jihad Organization, and in the naval shipbuilding factories.

Major General Hossein Salami continued: By God's grace, both the sailing range and the sailing speed of the vessels, the range of the missiles deployed on these vessels, their accuracy, and their destructive power have all achieved a significant leap and progress and upgrade, so that today the IRGC Navy can pursue multiple defense layers in an offensive strategy and mode, in addition to close-range warfare, long-range warfare, and close-range warfare.

Major General Hossein Salami stated: This fact, which I mentioned during my visit to the aerospace missile systems, is that today, although our ship and missile storage tunnels are numerous and very long, we are still faced with a lack of space to accommodate and condense this capability in these storage structures.

He said: We are determined to create great history-making events and epics in the various defense fields of the country with firm will, great effort, steady steps, and confident hearts of our warriors whenever we wish, with the permission of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution to defend the glory of Iran.
