Iranian army reveals advanced military equipment
The unveiling ceremony, held on Wednesday, was attended by Major General Mohammad Baqeri, the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, and marked the delivery of advanced weaponry to the IRGC Ground Forces.
General Ali Kouhestani, the IRGC deputy commander for logistics, said that a substantial number of newly developed systems have been integrated into the force.
These include the BM450 medium-range ballistic missile, which has a range of 200 kilometers, the Fath-360 missile, and the Fajr-5 guided missile, known for its advanced targeting capabilities.
Among the other notable additions were 122 mm guided smart rockets, 122 mm rockets capable of laying mines, and the upgraded Majid short-range air defense missile system. The IRGC also introduced enhanced versions of the Mohajer-6 and Mohajer-10 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
A highlight of the ceremony was the official delivery of the 'Golaleh' destroyer drone, which boasts an impressive operational range of approximately 450 kilometers.
The second phase of the Payambar-e-A'azam 19 exercise aims to test new combat tactics and strategies using the recently delivered equipment. IRGC units will carry out various offensive and defensive operations, including electronic warfare, large armored attacks, and coordinated missile, drone, and artillery strikes in the coming days.
The war games act as both a training exercise and a way to assess how well these systems work in real-world scenarios.

In unprecedented move, 'Israeli' forces prevent Fajr prayer at Ibrahimi Mosque
In a serious escalation, Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) barred Palestinian worshippers from performing the dawn (Fajr) prayer inside the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron on Friday, forcing them to pray outside at the mosque's gates. Roya's correspondent reported that 'Israeli' forces used stun grenades to disperse worshippers and prevent them from entering the holy site. The assault sparked anger and frustration among the local community, many of whom had arrived despite strict military restrictions. This latest incident is part of a series of ongoing violations targeting the Ibrahimi Mosque, seen by many as an attempt to assert full control over the site and restrict Muslim access to it.

'We will open the gates of hell': Iran's IRGC warns Israel and USA
ALBAWABA- Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a stark warning to Israel and the United States on Thursday, threatening massive retaliation for any perceived aggression. IRGC Commander Hossein Salami declared that Iran would unleash a devastating response if attacked, claiming that even a single missile from Yemen had paralyzed Israel's Ben Gurion Airport, and questioning how Israel could withstand hundreds of Iranian missiles. "These is a serious warning to Zionist officials, to US officials," Revolutionary Guards chief Hossein Salami said in a speech on Thursday. "Make one wrong move, we will open up the gates of hell on you ... Sit down and stay in your place; we have made extensive preparations." — Iran International English (@IranIntl_En) May 8, 2025 'Make one wrong move, we will open the gates of hell on you,' Salami said in a fiery televised address, adding: 'Any location in any territory that serves as the origin of aggression against us will become the target of our retaliation.' Salami also hinted that regional countries aiding any military strike against Iran could be targeted, broadening the scope of Tehran's threats beyond just the U.S. and Israel. The comments underscore rising tensions as Iranian forces flex their military might amid the ongoing standoff over its nuclear program. In a dramatic show of force, Iran's state television announced the imminent unveiling of a massive underground military facility, described as a major expansion of the IRGC's strategic infrastructure. Earlier on Thursday, Iranian media broadcast footage allegedly showing an underground drone base operated by the IRGC's naval forces. The announcement came just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump made remarks suggesting a preference for diplomacy over conflict. 'We're trying to work on Iran to get that solved without having to get into any bombing. As we say, big bombing. I don't want to do that,' Trump told reporters.
