TEHRAN – The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps has employed artificial intelligence technologies to minimize the risk of collateral damage in its missile strikes with pinpoint accuracy, IRGC Commander Major General Hussein Salami said on Sunday.
He said Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has always emphasized the need to avoid any harm to civilians in the IRGC’s missile operations against hostile targets.
Ayatollah Khamenei recommended that no civilians should be harmed in a missile operation the IRGC conducted against takfiri terrorist bases in Syria in 2018, Salami added.
The IRGC has achieved a technology with the help of artificial intelligence to avoid harming any innocent person when it hits the targets, General Salami said. 
He made the remarks in a conference held here to honor Iranian medics who assisted those injured in pager blasts in Lebanon. 
General Salami said the mass pager explosions were part of Israel’s psychological warfare against the resistance front, condemning them as a violation of conventional laws of war, which further exposed the true nature of the Zionist regime.
General Salami described the attack as similar to the use of weapons of mass destruction, aimed at instilling fear among the Lebanese and demoralizing Hezbollah’s operational command.
IRGC Quds Force chief Brigadier General Esmail Qa’ani also spoke at the event, saying hospitals and medical facilities in Lebanon were overwhelmed by the influx of casualties following the pager explosions.
Qa’ani noted that Iranian medical teams exhibited an “invaluable quality of resistance” that he said is abundant among all Iranian doctors and nurses.
Hezbollah representative in Tehran, Sayyed Abdullah Safi al-Din, expressed pride in Iran’s assistance in the wake of the pager blasts in Lebanon. 
“Despite economic sanctions and a blockade on medicines and equipment, Iran has maintained a comprehensive healthcare program, and we felt this in the treatment of the Lebanese wounded,” he said.
Ali Jafarian, senior adviser to the minister of health, said within the first week of the pager explosions, about 500 injured individuals were admitted to hospitals across Iran, and approximately 1,500 surgeries were performed within a month.
Jafarian said the swift medical assistance resulted from collaboration between various organizations, including the IRGC, the Iranian Red Crescent Society, emergency services, and medical universities in Tehran and Mashhad.
“Fortunately, high-quality services were provided to the injured, demonstrating the great capacities of the country’s healthcare system in delivering optimal services, as well as its high resilience,” he told the conference.
