When Israel's air base was bombed with sudden and heavy bombing, the world was shocked by the speed of Iran's thunderous revenge – less than 12 hours after the attack on its embassy, the arrow of retaliation was directed at the "little bully of the Middle East". In the face of the fierce offensive of the fierce enemy, the latter urgently recalled the personnel on leave, and the consulates of more than 20 countries closed one after another to avoid danger. At this moment, the global focus is on: Is Iran strong enough to teach America's close ally a bloody lesson?
Iran is known for its assertiveness and lack of words, and it prefers to resolve disputes with an iron fist. Although the active military strength is only about 500,000 troops, Iran, as a religious state, has a mobilization potential that should not be underestimated. Should the situation call for it, it can quickly assemble more than 20 million armed forces, a scale that no small country can match, even if the whole army is in the dust.
What is more noteworthy is that Iran does not blindly rely on foreign arms purchases, but has carefully built an independent military industrial system. Since the victory of the Islamic Revolution, the modernization of the navy, army, and air force has always been placed in a high strategic position of the state. Today's Iran is no longer the Wuxia Amun of the past, and its self-developed hypersonic missiles, anti-ship missiles, cruise missiles and other advanced weapons are impressively arrayed, fully demonstrating the strong strength of local manufacturing. Recently, hundreds of missiles and drones have been ready to launch, waiting for sortie orders, with a range covering the entire Middle East region, forming a strategic deterrent that cannot be ignored.
Not only that, but there are also hidden underground air bases in Iran, which are as complex and functional as a labyrinth. They not only have space to accommodate a variety of weapon systems, but also integrate functions such as vigilance, maintenance, command, ammunition replenishment and fuel storage, and become a hidden underground combat fortress. Such a strong and concealed military facility undoubtedly creates great difficulties for the opponent's detection and strike, which is enough to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at a critical moment.
Even in extreme cases where GPS signals are jammed or turned off, the Iranian military's navigation and positioning capabilities will not be paralyzed. They have long been prepared for a rainy day, relying on the support of a mysterious external satellite network to ensure that they can still accurately guide and maintain combat effectiveness in an environment where mainstream navigation systems are lost. This strategic back-up makes Iran highly resilient in the field of electronic countermeasures in modern warfare, ensuring that the sword of counterattack is unleashed, whether it is a hand-to-hand encounter or a protracted attrition.
Iran's vast mobilization potential, self-developed high-end armaments, a network of covert underground bases, and alternative satellite navigation support have forged a solid armor for warfare. In the face of provocations by US allies, Iran is fully equipped to stage a "-for-tat" drama that will shake the Middle East and even the world. The outcome of this contest of strength will undoubtedly become a key weight in judging the stability of the regional power structure and the international order.
