Israel's Defense Minister, Yoav Galant, emphasized the significance of the delivery of the operational laser interception system known as "Iron Beam" to the army. He stated that this system represents a clear message to both distant and nearby enemies, declaring that it would change the rules of the game. Galant warned, “Do not test us,” affirming Israel's strength in both defense and attack.

The Iron Beam system, integrated into Israel's multilayered air defense alongside Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Arrow systems, marks a historic achievement as the first operational high-power laser interception system in the world. It has successfully engaged multiple targets in tests simulating real combat scenarios.

The Israeli Defense Ministry noted that the Iron Beam operates using advanced laser technology and an electro-optical guidance system, enabling it to efficiently intercept various targets.

Military expert Mojtaba Pour Mohsen discussed the unveiling of this laser system for intercepting drones and missiles from the IRGC and its potential impact on future conflicts, suggesting it could significantly disarm the Islamic Republic, representing a major revolution in air defense.
