"The rating of our missile industry is 20 and there are no concerns in this regard because we produce missiles even in war conditions, which is amazing, and there is no specific problem with storing the stockpiles," he added.
In Iranian schools, the maximum rating is 20, the AP noted, BTA reported. He also said that the war would continue. "People expect the war to continue until the enemy is completely exhausted," the general told the Iranian public. "This war must end when the shadow of war lifts from the country."
