Iran's Revolutionary Guard put its domestically-produced missiles and drones on public display in Tehran for the first time since the war with Israel in June.
The weapons on display at the exhibition included the Emad missile that has a reported range of up to 1,700 kilometers, and the Khorramshahr ballistic missile that has a range of up to 2,000 kilometers.
Also on display were the “Fattah” series hypersonic missiles, known for their high speed and maneuverability.
"We pray to God that there is no war, but if there is one, we hope that our sons in the Guard, the anonymous soldiers of our Imam, can take retaliatory action, definitely backed by the people," said Shahram Sharifi, who was visiting the show with his family.
Zahra Mohseni, another visitor said: “After seeing the missiles and drones I really got hopeful that we have a powerful Iran. I didn't know Iran had progressed so much."
Air defense radars and state-of-the-art drones showcasing Iran’s capabilities in surveillance and targeted strikes were also on display at the exhibition, which will end on Friday.
Iran's ballistic missile capability has been a source of concern for the West and was among Israel's primary targets during the 12-day war.
Iran responded by firing missiles at Israel that killed 28.
Tensions remain high despite a U.S brokered ceasefire as Iran refuses to grant IAEA inspectors access to the nuclear sites attacked by Israel and the U.S.
