TEHRAN – The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has inaugurated a state-of-the-art wargaming center at its University of Command and Staff located in Tehran.

The center was formally unveiled by IRGC Commander-in-Chief Major General Hossein Salami on Sunday. 

Military simulations, commonly referred to as war games, employ cutting-edge technologies to generate realistic combat scenarios, allowing armed forces to assess tactics and boost operational readiness without the risks associated with real combat. 

Iran’s new military simulation center features high-tech software that enables the modeling of diverse military scenarios, encompassing both conventional and asymmetric warfare tactics, reports say. 

These advanced simulation techniques are intended to strengthen the critical thinking and decision-making capabilities of IRGC commanders, enhancing their strategic planning and battlefield assessments.

The objective is to ensure that IRGC forces remain well-prepared for any potential challenges. 

In a separate event on the same day, Salami addressed attendees at the Imam Hossein military academy in Tehran, emphasizing the motivating role of the IRGC in galvanizing Resistance movements in Gaza and Lebanon.

He emphasized that the ongoing resilience and steadfastness in these regions are reflections of the IRGC's impactful initiatives. 

Commending the people of Gaza for their remarkable display of strength, resilience, and determination, the commander stated that the IRGC values individuals who embody these exceptional qualities.
