Iran's defense ministry said it would continuously modernize and rebuild the country's defense industry based on the lessons of the recent wars, treating the conflict as a field of learning rather than a stopping point, Mehr reports.

In a statement marking National Defense Industry Day, Iran's defense ministry said the country's defense industry had been born from threat but had not been halted by it.

"Every pressure and every sanction made the necessity and belief in relying on domestic capacity clearer, and every battlefield opened a new opportunity for the country's specialists," it said.

"The recent imposed wars were the real field of testing the country's defensive capabilities," the statement said.

As per the Iranian defense ministry, what had been built over years of Iranian expertise was put to use and, alongside the operational capacities of the armed forces and the Iranian nation, defeated a significant part of the enemy's calculations and objectives, confounding them.

"At the same time, these wars were not only a field of confrontation; they were an opportunity to more precisely recognize capabilities, reveal new needs and map the future path. We have learned never to stop," the ministry said, adding that the recent war was now "the past."

The ministry said the concept of a "defense industrial revolution" based on a national defense participation model was not limited to building a new product, but transformed ways of thinking, design, production, technology management, the use of knowledge-based capacities, smart systems, and the speed of converting knowledge into defensive power.
