Iran announced the unveiling of upgraded versions of its Emad and Qadr ballistic missiles during a televised broadcast from underground IRGC missile bases. According to Iranian state media, the new systems are equipped with advanced counter-electronic warfare technology, developed from lessons learned during the “True Promise” operations.

Officials from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed the enhancements significantly improve the missiles’ accuracy, range, and resilience against electronic interference. Footage from the broadcast showed rows of missile launchers in fortified underground facilities, underscoring Iran’s ongoing investment in strategic deterrence.

The announcement comes amid heightened regional tensions and renewed scrutiny over Iran’s missile program. Defense analysts note that the upgrades could signal Tehran’s intent to strengthen its capabilities despite international pressure and sanctions.
