Iran's stealth-capable Ghadir submarine
Iran successfully manufactures new stealth military equipment after the Leader of the Islamic Revolution urged a military breakthrough.

Iran's Defense Minister Brigadier General Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar said Tuesday that Iranian experts had produced new stealth micro submarines, vessels, and lightweight aircraft.

Brig. Gen. Mohammad-Najjar said the new military developments come in line with the Leader's command, ordering exclusively developed equipment to enhance the country's defense industry in the face of possible threats.

Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on Saturday called for the production of exclusive military hardware for the country, asserting that in order to counter a potential attack, Iran should employ weapons the enemy is unfamiliar with.

“Militarily-empowered countries can easily maintain their stability and independence,” said Brig. Gen. Mohammad-Najjar.

He stressed that strategic intelligence is of utmost importance in enhancing the country's military awareness and vigilance.

In response to the West's war rhetoric, Iran has taken steps to improve its defense capabilities and has introduced some 109 types of innovative military equipment over the past two years.

Washington echelons --who accuse Tehran, a victim of terrorism, of supporting terror--, say they should have the right to attack states they consider terrorist havens.

Iran has warned that it is unlike any other country in the Middle East and that the recent US raids on Syria and Pakistan cannot be staged against the Islamic Republic.
