TEHRAN, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said Saturday its aerospace division has established underground missile and drone production facilities and is continuously increasing the range of its missiles.
"We managed to rapidly relocated the production of missiles and drones from the surface to underground (facilities)," IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohebbi said at a press conference in Tehran.
"We are constantly enhancing the range of our missiles, and we will not stop in this regard," Mohebbi said, adding all tangible and intangible assets of a "hostile country" are within Iran's reach.
He warned if the enemy renews strikes, Iran will unveil its military surprises, saying, "We are prepared without any geographical limitation to defend the country's existence, identity, and territorial integrity."
His remarks come amid heightened U.S. threats of military action against Iran, and as the U.S. Army reportedly carried out "minor" attacks targeting Iran's southern Qeshm Island early Saturday.
Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported earlier in the day that two missiles hit Qeshm Island, without providing details of the damage.
U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that U.S. forces launched new strikes targeting Iran's air defense systems, describing the military action as "minor."
This was the second strike reportedly carried out by the United States against the Iranian island this week. The Wall Street Journal, citing U.S. officials, reported Tuesday that the United States attacked the island on Monday.■
