Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced plans to incorporate artificial intelligence and stealth technologies into its missile development programs. Major General Mohammad Pakpour, head of the IRGC’s ground forces, said the initiative aims to enhance Iran’s ability to penetrate enemy defense systems. Speaking at Imam Hossein University in Tehran, he emphasized that modern technologies could significantly alter battlefield dynamics by improving intelligence gathering, surveillance, and precision strike capabilities.

Pakpour referenced Iran’s 12-day conflict with Israel earlier this year, claiming that despite facing opponents equipped with advanced military technology, Iran’s missile operations and internal unity forced adversaries to seek a ceasefire. He asserted that Iran’s military power is now more visible and formidable than ever before, warning that any future attack on the country would provoke a stronger and more destructive response.

Analysts view the move as part of Iran’s broader strategy to modernize its defense capabilities amid regional tensions and international sanctions limiting access to foreign military technology.
