Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf has warned that Iran would respond "swiftly and unpredictably" to any hostile move.

In a message following the unveiling of a new missile city belonging to the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force on Tuesday, Qalibaf described the achievement as a clear message to Iran’s enemies.

“Do not miscalculate. If you make the slightest wrong move, Iran will not hesitate to respond swiftly and beyond your imagination in its defense. This time, the geography of the war will be determined by the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

Qalibaf described the new missile city as a manifestation of the Iranian nation’s determination to defend its independence, security and territorial integrity, saying the achievement was made possible by years of efforts by Iranian scientists, engineers, military commanders and servicemen.

He thanked those involved in the project, particularly young specialists who relied on indigenous knowledge and a spirit of dedication to advance Iran’s defense capabilities under difficult circumstances.

The speaker also paid tribute to martyred IRGC Aerospace Force commanders Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam, Amir Ali Hajizadeh and Mahmoud Bagheri, as well as other fallen members of the force.

He also praised Brigadier General Seyyed Majid Mousavi for assuming major responsibilities during difficult times.

Qalibaf said the project had been completed despite sanctions, military and security threats, and even under fire during wartime.

“They demonstrated that even amid restrictions and under the fire of war, it is possible to enhance the country's power in one of the most sophisticated technological fields by relying on domestic capabilities,” he said.

Describing the facility as part of Iran’s efforts to establish sustainable deterrence, Qalibaf said the defensive strength of Iran rests on military preparedness, continued progress and national unity.

He added that the unveiling, held ahead of the anniversary of the martyrdom of Tehrani Moghaddam and Iran’s Aerospace Force Day, sent another message that Iran would not abandon the development of its defense capabilities despite pressure and threats.
