Iran’s armed forces will overhaul their missile stockpiles to give them greater reach and speed, Army spokesman Brig. Gen. Mohammad Akraminia said Sunday, amid a deadlocked U.S.-Israeli war against the Islamic Republic.

Iranian forces responded by attacking U.S. military bases in the Persian Gulf region from which the attacks originated. As a result of successful Iranian missile and drone attacks, U.S. forces were forced to withdraw to bases outside the Gulf.
