Iran's 'last resort': They haven't used it yet.

As Iran's "15 deadliest weapons" come back into the spotlight, it is reported that the Tehran administration is activating its military capacity with the aim of delivering a heavy blow to the American presence in the region. However, according to intelligence sources, Iran has not yet used its most destructive weapon and is reserving this "last resort" card for a critical stage.

Following the escalating tensions with Israel and the USA, the Tehran administration is reintroducing its military capabilities, while Iran's weapon inventory, described as "the deadliest," has taken center stage. It is assessed that Iran aims to deal a heavy blow to the American presence in the region with its advanced missile and defense systems.

"LAST RESORT" CARD HAS NOT YET BEEN DEPLOYED

According to military intelligence sources, the Tehran administration has not yet activated its most destructive weapon. While the capacity of this system, which Iran keeps as a "last resort," has not been disclosed, it is stated that it has not been used in any operation so far. This situation raises questions about the military balances in the region.
