The
civil defence equipments enable Iran’s armed forces to “identify
and monitor threats by using round-the-clock software according
to the type of the threat and risk,” deputy defence minister
General Mehdi Farahi was quoted as saying by Iranian media.
"These days, depending on the strength of countries, the form of
battles has become more complicated,” said Farahi, adding that
hybrid forms of warfare including cyber, biological and
radioactive attacks, have replaced classical wars.
He did not name the countries that could threaten Iran.
Iran has accused Israel and the United States of cyber attacks
in recent years that have impaired the country's infrastructure.
Iran has also accused Israel, which has neither confirmed nor
denied responsibility, of sabotaging its nuclear facilities.
U.S.-Iran military tensions have also long dogged the region. In
the latest incident, Iran seized U.S. military sail drones in
the Red Sea earlier this week - even as both countries pursue
nuclear talks.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Navy said it foiled an attempt by Iran's
Revolutionary Guards naval forces to capture an unmanned surface
vessel operated by the U.S. 5th Fleet in the Gulf. Iran said the
drone was a danger to maritime traffic.
