Former Iranian diplomat Amir Mousavi warned in an April 14, 2024 interview with Al-Jadeed TV (Lebanon) that if "Zionist attacks" on Iran continue, there will be "great surprises." He said that Iran will use strategic missiles, strategic UAVs, and operations similar to October 7, carried out by Iranians themselves. Mousavi said that the weapons used by Iran in its attack against Israel earlier that day "were not very advanced."
Amir Mousavi: "If the Zionist attack on Iran repeats itself, there will be no early warning. There will be surprises and new methods. The missiles that were used were not very advanced. They have medium-level technology.
"[Next time, Iran] will use strategic missiles and UAVs, and other methods. There may be operations similar to October 7, but with a different method. There will be great surprise for the Zionists in the occupied lands, by the Iranians themselves."
