Iran using AI for precise missile strikes, says IRGC chief

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has integrated artificial intelligence (AI) into its missile systems to improve precision, it's commander-in-chief said Sunday.

“With artificial intelligence, we have developed technology to strike targets without harming innocents,” Hossein Salami said Sunday at an event honoring Iranian medical staff who treated Hezbollah members injured in the September 2024 pager attacks.

The Israeli operation targeted thousands of pagers and hundreds of walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah members in Lebanon and Syria, killing at least 32 people and injuring over 3,250.

Salami described the pager attacks as “akin to weapons of mass destruction,” aimed at dismantling morale and creating chaos.

Last year, in a first, Iran launched two direct attacks on Israel with hundreds of missiles fired at the Jewish state, along with rockets and drones.
