Video: An American Plan Called “Missile Negotiations” – From U.S. Insistence to Iran’s Denial

According to Rokna, on 29 Bahman, the anniversary of the Azerbaijani uprising, a ceremony was held at Imam Khomeini (RA) Hussainiya, an event that attracts great enthusiasm each year. Attendees eagerly awaited the arrival of the Supreme Leader, and anticipation grew moment by moment until he entered the Hussainiya, filling the space with unprecedented excitement.

Ayatollah Khamenei, in his opening remarks, drew significant attention, particularly from international media closely monitoring his reactions to the country’s sensitive conditions and recent U.S. threats. His speech reached a pivotal moment when he responded to the rhetoric of the U.S. president, drawing global attention.

In a crucial part of his remarks, he referred to the U.S. naval fleet in the region, stating that while a single warship may pose a threat, the real danger lies in the weapon capable of destroying that warship. This statement alone generated waves of reactions and speculation across media outlets.

Global Reactions to the Leader’s Remarks

Following these statements, domestic and international analysts speculated on the Supreme Leader’s intended message. Some believed these remarks indicated Iran’s capability in producing secret weapons that have not yet been unveiled. Domestic analysts interpreted his words as an affirmation of Iran’s deterrent power and defensive systems, while others viewed them as a warning to prevent direct conflict.

Western media highlighted these statements in their headlines, interpreting them as a clear message to U.S. warships present in the Persian Gulf. Military analysts also pointed to Iran’s investments in anti-ship weapons and asymmetric strategies.

The question arose: has Iran developed technology capable of sending U.S. warships into the waters of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman? To answer this, one must review the history of Iran’s military development.

From Early Challenges to Advanced Technology

After the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Iran’s military situation was highly dependent on Western countries. However, following severed relations, Iran independently pursued its military capabilities. Initial steps included arming fishing boats and producing basic drones, but over time, these efforts evolved into significant advancements, leading to the production of modern military equipment.

Today, Iran has dramatically enhanced its military power through advanced missiles and defense systems. Operational use of these capabilities during the Iran-Iraq War and in confronting terrorist groups, including ISIS, demonstrates Iran’s high military proficiency.

Iran has repeatedly showcased its capabilities against domestic and external threats, from decisive responses to ISIS terrorist actions to precision missile strikes in Operation Promise of Truth against the Israeli regime. Successful attacks on U.S. military bases in the region further confirm Iran’s operational capacity.

U.S. Insistence on Missile Negotiations

Despite Iran’s military strength, the United States, led by Trump, insists on missile negotiations, which the Islamic Republic has consistently rejected. Iran maintains that the development of military capabilities is not only a defensive necessity but also essential for regional security and stability.

Historical experience has shown that disarmed countries often become victims of foreign aggression, as exemplified by Iraq and Libya, which faced turmoil after abandoning their weapons. These lessons have reinforced Iran’s determination to continuously strengthen its military programs.

An American Plan Called “Missile Negotiations”: From U.S. Insistence to Iran’s Denial

The United States has repeatedly attempted to enforce policies of pressure and coercion on countries in the region, but nations that maintain military strength have been able to resist such pressures.

Historical examples of U.S. actions in countries like Egypt, Iraq, and Libya demonstrate that Washington prioritizes its own interests, offering support to allies primarily to secure strategic benefits.

As a result, the Islamic Republic of Iran, confident in its capabilities and guided by historical lessons, continues its path of military development and resolutely responds with a firm “no” to America’s unjust demands.
