Source: Channel 3 (Iran)

Following are excerpts from an Iranian TV display of military capabilities, which aired on Channel 3, Iranian TV, on February 6, 2014:


Voice of reporter: The [IRGC airforce] has cluster bomb payloads.


Display of cluster bomb explosion:


Voice of reporter: Well done.


These images also showcase our defense capabilities. Here is an example of our missile strength, the S-200.


Brigadier General Esmaili, commander of Khatam Al-Anbiya air defense base: We can use this to contend with long-range strategic airplanes, as well as with long range and intermediate range ballistic missiles. We can use this to respond to any attack on us.


Khomeini said we are capable of everything. Every person in Iran must take this to heart, so he can do the impossible. This is an impenetrable network fusing all the forces, equipped with various radar systems that no plane can evade.


In the past, we could only aspire to have one Mohajer UAV. Today, we have so many that we can write a book about them. Today, each one of these planes has a well-defined mission. One UAV type is used for reconnaissance.


IRGC Navy Commander Ali Fadavi: We are nowhere, but we are everywhere.


Images of aircraft carriers:


"Another display of Iran's intelligence capabilities in following the U.S. naval forces"


Voice of reporter: The other type is used for attack missions.


Do you remember the RQ-170? Mr. Barack could not keep his calm when we downed it. The RQ-170 was completely decrypted. I bear good tidings: The RQ-170 has become totally Iranian.


Reporter in studio: After all this, we only have one more thing left to say. We thank you, sons of Iran, soldiers of the IRGC, for remembering the words of Imam Khomeini:


The reporter stands behind an RQ-170 Sentinel drone and points at a poster in the background saying: :


"We shall trample on the U.S."
